Title: [WTS] 4x 7970 LTC Mining Rig (Complete or part out)
Post by: jordan.dev on September 08, 2013, 08:45:52 PM
I've decided to sell my mining rig and move onto another project (a hot-tub ... less power... more women... you get the picture)

I'm willing to part out the video cards or powersupply or sell the whole thing. I'll upload pictures to the "photos" section.


  • 4x MSI 7970s (still under warranty, all boxes, accessories in perfect condition, most still in original packaging, one sticker badge peeled off from heat) - purchased April 2013 from Microcenter $400
  • 1x 1200 watt psu corsair ax + full RED/BLACK cable kits $300
  • 1x Custom fab frame/case - $100
  • 4x Riser cables $15
  • 1x MSI Motherboard - model number available on request
  • 1x Single Core AMD Athlon Processor - model number o.r.
  • 2x 4GB SuperTalent DDR3 RAM - together $125, separate, probably a bit more cost of dealing with shipping individual items

The whole thing $2000 $1750 flat, shipped. - and I'll throw in a 100GB 5400RPM SATA HDD in a XBOX Slim Case.

All prices convert to BTC obviously (whatever the exchange rate is that day and would be happy to negotiate better prices for transferring in BTC)

Shipping on each of the individual items to-be determined.

I have around 500 positive feedback on a verified eBay account from eCommerce biz I used to run, and can work with you to provide references in BTC community with any concerns.

Stable mining rig achieved 2.25kH/s and ran stable and normal for 1-2 week runs between when I had time to mess with settings to try to tune. As long as the cards are under warranty - I would recommend "overvolting" the cards, but this feature wasn't available on Linux AMD drivers, and I wasn't running Windows.

Unfortunately I didn't add a place to rack up the HDD. I had planned to use a flash USB-stick but was having trouble getting the OS to take on it properly so I've just had the HDD sitting on the table behind it.

Is not not profitable to mine that rig anymore?

would you be willing to sell only the frame and risers?

Can you ship to the UK? how much can you quote me for 4 of the 7970 + the Test bench and also the PSU?

The rig remains profitable depending on the rate of electricity and LTC price. If the user is hoarding LTC at a "Cheap rate" by buying the electricity, than yes it's a good way to speculate. My issue has been that I've had little time to keep the rig stable, and have been focused mostly on trading rather than mining lately.

I learned a lot about BTC from mining, and I feel that's important, but I want to move on.

"Test bench" do you mean the case?

I will ship international if you pay with BTC - I would most likely use UPS, DHS, or FedEx - I would assume the cost of shipping all 4 would be around $200 USD insured depending on where it is going (though that's just a guess and maybe way high)

$1,400, shipped

It might be more work and fees but I think I could come out less than 30% less... considering the cards alone still fetch roughly $300-$400 before fees individually -

I don't believe so - no. They are just PCI extension cables (they don't have a power adapter with them)

bump. buyers are being flakey after the downtime. I'm still here.

Listed the cards on Bitmit.net

Due the recent sell-off in LTC I am willing to negotiate so make me some offers...

I will pay $250/ea per 7970, shipped to Seattle.  I can pay in bitcoin or PayPal, and have funds currently available.
