Hello

I am considering selling off a large portion of my GPU mining farm.

which includes 15 x AMD Radeon HD 5870 - mixed brands , about half of them are the 2gb eyefinity six edition models which gives them a much higher resell value - the cards have been babied for the most part - fans stay at 50%

Includes 3 x MSI 890FXA-GD70 Motherboards in VGC (sempron 2.7 ghz cpu + 2gb + sata hard drives + pcie cables included, )
2 X Corsair HX1000watt 80 plus PSU
1 X Corsair AX1200watt 80 plus PSU

I have them setup in a custom open air setup that I developed.

I am not 100% sure I even want to sell right now but I would to the right person for the right price and Basically right now I am gauging interest, and taking offers (Serious only please) to see if anyone is interested in buying the whole thing in one shot, because I am not sure if I want the headache of parting it all out.

local pickup in Upstate ny is offered and encouraged if its close enough to you, of course I can ship these anywhere in the world.
you can buy in confidence from me as I have conducted thousands in recent positive transactions.

thanks for looking!

how many watts for 6.5ghash?

low ball estimate about 3000

Offering $130 each + ship for all the cards.

will you sell individual video cards? how much?

im not willing to split this up at this time. Really the only way I would sell is the whole lot at once. This is because I am already upgrading my farm to FPGA - ive got two BFL singles on the way and if I am able to sell these rigs for around $3500 I would sell them all at once but not interested in parting them out, to be honest if I were to part these out I would do it on ebay because these cards are still selling for $200-$300 used on ebay.

they don't sell for $200 used on ebay

http://www.ebay.com/csc/i.html?rt=nc&LH_Complete=1&_nkw=radeon%205870&_fln=1&_trksid=p3286.c0.m283

and as a seller, you'd have to get a price of $218 to actually see $200

the 1gb models get close to $200 on ebay and half of these are the eyefinity six edition 2gb models

I posted a diamond 1gb 5870 for sale the other day for $175.00 + shipping and it sold within 5 mins of the post

maybe I could not get $200 for every 1gb model but I can certainly get close to that and certainly get that if not more for the 2gb models

Most people wont care that much about an extra gb of ram. Especially miners. I know i wont pay more than $150 for a 5870.

The gamers on ebay care, even though the miners on bitcointalk don't.

As a gamer, i would not pay $200+ for that extra gig.

I offer $2700 plus shipping.

its not just for an extra gig btw, it also allows you to run 6 displays in eyefinity

if I listed one of these 2gb models for $250 on ebay it would sell within seconds - gauranteed.

Good luck with the sale cablepair! I would so totally jump on this deal if I did not have in mind exactly what you have (migrating to FPGA). I love the 5870s and they make great mining cards, and if one can get them for $180 or below then it's a good deal.

Maybe just keep them and use the btc they generate to replace them piece by piece with FPGAs. So until you can match the hashing power of the whole GPU farm with FPGA miners just keep the GPU farm :) Just an idea to consider.

thats probably what im going to do...

Im ready to order two BFL singles right now, but I cant get these guys to take my money!

(I placed my order to pay with dwolla about a week ago) still waiting to hear back

Cool, I want to grab one or two singles as well, but I worry that they won't deliver on their promises (shipping delays, excuses, etc). If you get yours give me a shout on IRC or here, and let me know. I will feel more comfortable handing over money to them then.

I know man it just seems too good to be true, its a very fishy situation, so far they are acting like they are working day and night shipping these things out but I so far have only seen proof of 3 actually being delivered.

one thing for sure there is more going on here then we (the community) know about.

yeah, but unless you overcharged for shipping, you only clear about $160 after the eBay electronics fee

anyway, yes, from a seller's perspective, if i was selling some 5870's, i'd probably put them with a buy-it-now of $190 or $195, w/o any auctioning at all.  pretty sure it'd sell.

but as a buyer, it isnt too hard to eventually get one for $175 or less, if you have a little patience (probably a week tops)

naa the fees arent that bad

on a $175 electronics sale you pay exactly $5.38 in fees.

6 of these are the eyfinity editons right?

2700 looking more attractive? I see that you're bidding on luke-jr's 2 singles... Let me help you fund it!

Its not like you haven't made your money back from your rigs... and think of how much hassle I'll be saving you for not needing to part it out...

 
How did I do?  ;D

bump

Will take offers - PM me - 6500+ Mhash ready to go!

willing to take $2800 - you cant beat this deal. :)

If only you where closer to Chicago.. i would pick this up for 2800.

What OS and miner are you using?

windows 7 x64 / cgminer latest version on all rigs

I may have already sold this though - sale pending receipt of payment will update thread when I receive payment

thanks for looking

Congrats!!

thanks payment received - he bought the farm ! (har dee har har)

congrats cable! now order those BFL's!

I want it .. I messaged you.  Lets work out a deal.

The whole lot ... not parts.  I will call if you want but we are nerds, we don't like the phones lol

its been sold already cheif, Id sell it twice but not sure if the mods of this forum would like that too much ;)
