I also have 1 x unused 5870 MSI lightning (really nice/clean metal chassis[stays cool]), Ill ship to Belgium for 44btc.  I was going to wait until the  5830s sold before I listed it.

Thx Thiago,

Shipping today. I'll post update.

holy crap, escrow is that easy? wish I knew about this before i got scammed.

There are a few bitcoin escrow services, but Im unsure if they are any good and how they handle disputes.  
Simplest IMO to just agree on someone both seller and buyer trust, and offer that person a small commission to hold the coins. Its by no means perfect, and I have no idea what will happen should I not receive anything or 2 faulty cards or whatever; I may not ever see my coins again, but just the fact the seller doesnt have access to the bitcoins until I release them pretty much eliminates most scams and at least assures both parties are acting in good faith.

Cards posted today.

Please let me know if everything is OK when you receive them .

Thiago, if P4man gives you the OK, please send funds to 19bbqmjGptPdFzaVD4GJSoHS14eDFugndD

Okay, I'm waiting...  :)

I received 2 boxes today. Faster than expected, but LOL, 3phase, why didnt you put it in one box? You like paying 2x for shipping :)

Ive only briefly tested both cards. One fan makes more noise than a pneumatic hammer and needs replacement or at least oiling. I received an electronic invoice from 3phase which indicates these cards are both still covered by warranty, so Im unsure what to do about that. Thing is, I cant remove the cooler without breaking seals voiding warranty. Hmmm...

Anyway, the cards seem to work, I have warranty, and for the price I paid, Im not gonna complain.

Thiago, please send this man his coins.

Thanks to both of you!

Actually, putting them in one box would cost 5 EUR more, as it would be over the 2 kg limit for plain post.
I never really noticed the noise. I was used to the much greater noise when they were running. :)
Glad you're satisfied.

Spent an afternoon trying to get one of my rigs working with the new 5870. I kept getting horrendous hashrates (sub 100) on all my cards, cgminer kept quitting with no error..  The 5870 by itself worked fine. As did my machine without that card.

I tried swapping and adding psu's. Nothing helped.

Turns out I removed a memory module, assuming it had 2x1GB,  but they were 512Mb modules. 512 is not enough for linuxcoin. Well, it seems to manage with 2 cards, but not with 3. I saw dmesg out of memory errors and the kernel killing cgminer. Aha.

Added a gig, and everything is working like a charm (aside from.. well, quite a bit of noise :) ). Ive got both cards clocked at 900/300 for now, havent tried any higher yet. 3phase, do you remember what you ran them at?

3phase, please, give a few minutes to sent your Bitcoins.

They were running at 900/319 and 1.08 Volts. About 409 mh/s .

I had also tried them at up to 960/319  and stock voltage but the extra watts did not justify a 7% increase in hash rate. They did run for a full 24 hours at that speed.

CgMiner 2.0.5, catalyst 11.6 and Sdk 2.4 on ubuntu 11.04.

Hope this helps.

3phase,

 Just sent your 40 Bitcoins, transaction ID:

Thanks!

Many thanks to you Thiago and to P4man for the purchase.

Cheers,
