Title: as of today 6/22, how can I build a 500+Mhash/s rig using product in stock @ ama Post by: fxgmblr on June 22, 2011, 08:48:31 PM as of today 6/22, how does one build a 500+Mhash/sec rig using products in stock @ amazon?
looks like the HD 6870 is in stock, what motherboard goes well w/ doing 2x6870 crossfire (and is in stock at amazon)?

Confirming that the 6870 does 260 MHash/s with stock rates (m0mchil's miner, -v -w 128 -f 1) Title: Re: as of today 6/22, how can I build a 500+Mhash/s rig using product in stock @ ama Post by: nandnor on June 22, 2011, 11:12:58 PM >Good, however used computer farms can be cheap. I recommend considering FPGA based solutions.

I am using just a single XFX HD5850 (it plays games as well!) and I get just over 300MH/s average when the computer is running and left alone. There is a company in Florida with a couple of XFX HD5850 second hand on Amazon for around $190 each which is about equivalent to what I paid for a repack XFX HD5850 here in the UK.
Is anyone farming with an array of Playstations yet!??? orjoguy Title: Re: as of today 6/22, how can I build a 500+Mhash/s rig using product in stock @ ama Post by: fxgmblr on June 22, 2011, 11:51:20 PM You don't need crossfire for mining (but for gaming, though).
