Now parting out
I am keeping the racks unless I receive a good offer

First dibs go to my fellow miners...

Two identical rigs; 3x 5970s 1x GD70 1x Sempron 1x Seasonic 1050w 1x iStar D-400L
Asking price per rig is $1450 payable in BTC

I have a fresh 5970 back from RMA, never booted up
Asking prices:
HD5870 - $140 Shipped
HD5970 - $300 Shipped
890FXA-GD70 with Sempron & 1GB Memory - $150 Shipped
Seasonic 1050w PSU - $175 Shipped

**Shipped price is to US48


These have been mining in a sealed air conditioned/filtered server rack @ 60°F ambient. Cards have been mining in a range from 56-62°C steady with clocks set at 725/300. At these clocks each rig maintains 2GH/s.

+1 rep for likuidxd, I bought a mobo/cpu off him a few weeks ago and he shipped it fast, was well packed, and arrived safely!

I would totally buy one of these units if I had more cash!  :D

Those are sexy...

nice boxes, well done, look like mine inside... hope you sell them.

wow, very sexy... i'd love to have sealed air conditioned filtered rooms too..

Bumpity

Very nice.  If you don't get any hits I'll take them for $800 each.

There is no way I'm going that low. If you are interested in parts though feel free to ask

How much for one 5970 ?

Did the solder melt when you initially tried to overclock?  There is very little room between the hotplate and the intake.  They run 5c cooler if you replace the thermal paste and take that useless metal blowback plate of the back.   It's like shooting air at a brick wall..  >>>>>>||

I would consider $225 each for all 5970's

$119 for the MSI's, $140 with CPU and RAM
 
Scrap metal price for the chasis.  I've never used a Seasonic PSU are they any good?

Huh? So much wrong with that post...

1) He just said in the OP: Ambient was 15C, and core around 60C. 725,300 is not overclocked... And yet you immediately start your post with a baseless attack.

2) That metal plate acts as a heatsink for the RAM chips on the back of the board. You really don't want to remove that... You ever taken a 5970 apart before?

3) They only run (up to) 5C cooler when you replace the stock thermal paste IF the paste is dried up (or borked from the get-go). I've replaced the paste on many cards, and depending on the condition of the old paste, it sometime has no effect. I doubt he's going to go from 62C to 57C just by swapping his paste.

4) Seasonic is the best. Period.

5) Those are probably $150+ rack mount chassis. Especially with those 3 fans all blowing one direction...that prolly has better air flow than a standard ATX (but is also probably louder).

Stop trying to downplay other people's hardware so you can lowball them offers. You did the same thing in my thread. His hardware looks legit, and high quality at that.

Agreed, you sound like a really smart forum basher.

My "attack" was not at all baseless nor was it an attack,  likuidxd could easily state he never tried to overclock.  I am genuinely curious if you overclock 5970s that close to each other if the solder melts...

I agree completely.  You really do not want to remove the rear heat-spreader and why would you?  3rd graders in poor suburbs in Iraq read English better than you.

Perhaps if you learned how to read and comprehend the language of this post this part of my post would make sense "and take that useless metal blowback plate of the back."  Replacing the thermal paste is only a small part of the picture and as you said it only helps "IF the paste is dried up (or borked from the get-go)" which you wouldn't know if you didn't replace it.  The backplate is the major heat killer on most of these cards, it restricts a large percentage of airflow and keeps heat in. 

Thank you.  Do you have any reasons?  Higher efficiency? Lower cost? Cleaner output?  Anything?


And?  Are you offering him $150 each or just pointing out your uncanny ability to value used equipment and determine the bowing direction of fans?

You'll notice that I make fair resale offers or initial bids for used equipment everywhere, I also sometimes mention your hardware setup isn't as pimp as you think.  I assure you the two are as unrelated as you and literacy.

I'm sorry you are so easily offended are you an only child?

In the spirit of not trashing  likuidxd's thread I'll up my offer to include the SeaSonics at $110 each

+1

I will bid $3,500 for the trio.....contingent on them having hard-drives.......

No HDD or OS in these. I ran BAMT on a USB drive for mining in them.

I can include small HDDs from older servers that I have that were decommissioned

I will give you $3,300 for them without any HD or OS. 

Son of a bitch.....I misread this thing.....I thought we were talking about 3x 3x5970 rigs. 

My apologies. 

SOLD

PM

I mis-read the OP.....thought I was bidding on 3 of these rigs. 

Sorry about that, I retract the offer. 

$1000 each without the case.

If you'd like to make a realistic offer miaviator, I'll listen...

$225 each for all 5970's (x3 per rig is $675) (Last quoted or purchased price)

$140 for MBB with CPU and RAM  (Last quoted or purchased price)
 
$110 for PSU is actually low so I bumped it up to $150 (I pay $175-$200 for corsair AX1200s so this seems to be a fair price for a 1050W)

I would tear the case down to a metal |_| shell and stick in a rack with 12 cards on extenders so there is no reason to ship it.

That totals out to $965 per rig.  Add $40 to include shipping and you have a fair price based on what equipment is selling for here.

I suppose I could add $100 for the case and offer $1100 - $1150 shipped to FL?

Let me know which price seems unfair and I'll up my offer.

Your offer on the 5970s is very low. The rest is decent

Wasn't the last "quoted" price for a 5970 your quote to me? If so, that' kinda skews your offer a bit.

I'll offer 100 BTC for 3 of the cards.

Now parting out these miners

Added asking prices

Seasonic has extremely good test results on various sites (see also the well-known corsair brand... seasonic makes their >500W PSUs)
A lot of manufacturing places (like the company I used to work for that manufactured electronics test equipment) only use Seasonic power supplies.

So, not lower cost, not necessarily higher efficiency (they are as efficient as the rating on the label) but they are the most reliable in everything I have read over the past 3-4 years. That said, I have never owned one.

Thank You.

likuidxd are selling the cases?

I am not selling the cases anymore, they will house future hardware.

GPUs are sold AFAIK, I ran out of PMs

Still have the board/CPU/ram combos

still interested.....will give you $120

$125 for the psu?

does it have the original box for it?

That is too low for my SeaSonic, sorry

I do have a Power & Cooling 950w if you are interested

$145

Offering $250 USD shipped to 54501, USA for the 5970 that's fresh from RMA. Payable with Dwolla, BTC (negotiate how much at the time of transferring the coins), MTGoxUSD, but it may take some days to transfer from my bank into these sources. I can pay instantly with PayPal. Have conducted good business with other users on the forum so far with JL421, Brymaster, and fresh OTC rating @ http://bitcoin-otc.com/viewratingdetail.php?nick=Ssateneth&sign=ANY&type=RECV (http://bitcoin-otc.com/viewratingdetail.php?nick=Ssateneth&sign=ANY&type=RECV). I'm also open to other payment methods too, depending on difficulty.

The RMAed 5970 is gone

Oh :(

Boards/CPU & Power Supplies are still available

For Fun, I retract my offer of $140 for the Board/CPU/RAM combo.

I'll take the:

890FXA-GD70 with Sempron & 1GB Memory for $140 shipped.

NewEgg has the 890FXA-GD70 for $155 new & free shipping right now.  The CPU & memory are convenience, but don't add a lot of value.  I'm basing the $140 on the assumption that the CPU still has the stock heat sink & fan attached (which I value at around $10 of that $140).

I'll offer $280 shipped for the mobo + cpu combo and the 1050W seasonic.  That's $35 less than your asking price for the seasonic but probably saves you $10'ish in shipping.

.. pending resolution of a possible deal I have in the works that I'm supposed to have an answer by later tonight (friday).

That is not unreasonable, let me know

OK, I'll get back to you later tonight (or possibly early on Saturday morning)..  I reminded the guy that I needed an answer, so hopefully it'll be sooner rather than later =p

Deal is going through...  if this is still here in a week or so though, I may be able to make same offer..  Just won't have the money for it for a little bit.

Understood, np

Parts still available, offer me something

OK, deal I was talking about was for some motherboards, so I don't need that anymore..

I could still use the PSU, though I really don't need 1050W (more like 750). 

Hmm, do you still have the Power & Cooling 950w you talked about previously?  I guess it's what's @ http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817703028  ?

How much for a Mobo, 3 cards, CPU, memory, HD, and PSU? 

Still looking for a Mobo combo.....hit me back
