Title: found more Radeon 5850, 5870, 5970 in stock Post by: coinhammer on August 29, 2011, 12:03:45 AM http://www.unityelectronics.com/Video_Cards
Don't know how many they got, but looks like they have some. I ordered 4 of the 5970s on Friday. Will update when I get them. Title: Re: found more Radeon 5850, 5870, 5970 in stock Post by: dunand on August 29, 2011, 02:04:29 AM Nice. The only drawback : they are all refurbished.

In the upper right corner, there's a McAffe SECURE logo. Real ones are clickable and go to the McAffe site to show the results. That one isn't clickable. Searching for them on McAffe's site (http://www.mcafeesecure.com/us/forconsumers/mcafee_certified_sites.jsp) doesn't return anything. Their resellerratings.com and "top rated by google" images don't go anywhere either.
They also claim to have 488 5970s in stock (you can put 488 in your cart, but 489 says you exceeded their stock limit). It's kinda unlikely a tiny store like this could afford to stock a quarter million dollars of a single video card. We'd love to buy more of these (we're using cards for non-bitcoin related opencl work, bitcoin is what i'm doing in the off-hours), but every time I've looked at that company they've seemed too shady. I'd love to be proved wrong though, I'd buy a ton. Title: Re: found more Radeon 5850, 5870, 5970 in stock Post by: coinhammer on August 29, 2011, 02:28:02 AM Nice. The only drawback : they are all refurbished. Not all... The ATI 5970 are new, and even the refurbished ASUS show a 3 months ASUS warranty, and the Visiontek appear to have 1 year Visiontek warranty.

I'd love to be proved wrong though, I'd buy a ton. I bought from these guys before, although mostly hard drives. They seem to do most of their business through ebay and specialize in refurbs, got a 10432 rating store there with 99.5% sat http://myworld.ebay.com/unityelectronics.com/?_trksid=p4340.l2559 that looks pretty damn legit to me. Oh and here is their Amazon store http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/seller/at-a-glance.html?ie=UTF8&seller=A1RITGMKOZCSA . I always recommend doing due diligence, its not that hard.

This is not an endorsement for unity electronics btw, I've never bought anything there.

I'd love to be proved wrong though, I'd buy a ton. For what it's worth, I bought enough refurbished hard drives from them to build a total of three RAID5 arrays here over the span of about a year, and I had no problems with them, and no stolen credit card after.

That's actually pretty cool. Maybe in the future they will be one of the first major retailers to accept bitcoins.Quote from: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005ISV72Y/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&m=A1RITGMKOZCSA Technical Details ATI Radeon 5970 PCI-E / PCI Express x16 Video Graphics Card Radeon HD 5970 Dual GPUs (Graphic Processor Units) with a total of 2GB GDDR5 Memory Superior Gaming and Bitcoin mining performance Multiple Monitor Support - Dual DVI and Mini Display Port DirectX 11 and OpenGL 3.2 Support Title: Re: found more Radeon 5850, 5870, 5970 in stock Post by: Gabi on August 29, 2011, 02:58:04 PM Wow, bitcoin in technical details!

Clearly this is a step in the right direction if amazon acknowledges its existence.Title: Re: found more Radeon 5850, 5870, 5970 in stock Post by: Gabi on August 29, 2011, 04:04:47 PM I'm not sarcastic, i'm really happily surprised by that.

My mistake I just tend to assume the worst. Most opinions seem to be negative here. Not many people are very optimistic.Title: Re: found more Radeon 5850, 5870, 5970 in stock Post by: jjiimm_64 on August 30, 2011, 03:23:43 AM Amazon advertises Bitcoin mining, woohoo!
