Title: Complete 3x5830 Ubuntu Mining Rig Shipped $699 OBO
Post by: Fhtagn on August 07, 2011, 09:22:17 PM
I'm scaling down and selling one of my Bitcoin mining rigs, bought new and only run for two months. Everything is in great cosmetic and working order, fully assembled, all software installed, ready to mine.

The 3 Sapphire 5830s are clocked 850/300@1.063V. I can reset to factory(800/1000@1.163V), if needed. Cards have been run at 70C or less; currently run at 60C in a warm room. The system draws ~400W at the socket. Ubuntu 11.04, SDK 2.4, Phoenix + Poclbm.

With Phoenix+phatk, the cards mine completely stable @ 267MHash/s each (800MHash/s total). A lot of people seem to be getting 300+ out of each card, but I opted for less wear and power usage, on mine.

System cost was $900 new. The case can fit four double cards at once; the motherboard supports 6 cards, with riser cables.

I'm asking USD $699 or best offer, insured shipping included to US only. I will, of course, accept(and prefer to be paid in) the current equivalent amount in Bitcoins.

Adjusted price.

If you like, I can run this sale through eBay/PayPal where I have an established 100% seller rating.

I also accept Dwolla.

I'd like some manner of anti-fraud assurance, if you want to use PayPal or Dwolla. HeatWare or eBay ratings will do. Verified US addresses; no P.O. boxes.

Contact me for other payment options(money order, etc).

at $625, it would take over 5 months to recoup costs at current BTC prices and that is without difficulty increases or further drops in BTC.

The hardware has value, in itself, and anyone buying mining hardware now is probably going long on Bitcoin.

Sorry, I have a two week old baby and I'm just getting back online.

I'm going through offers. I want to sell the unit whole, since I have enough interest in that.

The current high offers are $630 shipped to California (about $70 for me to ship it from South Carolina) and $625 to unknown.

I will take some pics, when I can. This baby has to sleep sometime. =)

Thanks for your interest; I'll get back ASAP.

I should also mention that the current setup has openssh and screen installed; you can manage it remotely.

Here's a photo of the rig:

By moving the cards closer together, it fits 4.
