http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=17563406 then get 3 or 4 of http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=172018&CatId=3669 It gives an 1MH/s to US$1 or better ratio with 4 cards, the possibility of running 3 cards with 1 slot space between them for cooler operation, or running 4 cards next to each other and the expandability to run better cards later. |
