Had me ROFL'ing:

Hi, I'm curious to see if anybody would be interested in my used, but perfectly functioning Canon EOS 1D MkII camera?  I had the shutter replaced about 20K actuations ago (they're supposed to last about 150K actuations I think) so there's still plenty of life left on it.  It does shoot a little soft in JPG format, but is still razor sharp when extracting from RAW.  It comes with a 550EX external flash too. Comes with charger + battery + body.  The original battery wouldn't hold a charge anymore, so I replaced it with a brand-new OEM Canon which has maybe a dozen discharge cycles on it. No box or dox, but you can get those anywhere online in PDF. takes it, shipped within the US.

Hi, my name is Jim, and I have way too much money laying around

Woops, why did I post this in Hardware?  I meant to post this in Marketplace\Goods!  Sorry about that.  Nelisky, I might be able to part out the 550EX, but I'll have to get back to you on shipping for that to EU.

I'd be looking for somewhere around $650 in BTC, shipped within the US.

What setup?

That's what I want to build right now. I undervolt my card to 887mv 605/200MHz, which gives me 554 MH/s and saves about 115W versus running at 1050mv 825/200.  So is it reasonable to expect similar power savings on a undervolted quad-5970 system to be around 4x115W?  If so, a quick calc shows 1130W-460W=670W @ 2.2 GH/s, or 3.28 MH/J!  That is pretty nuts.

Did I miss something?  There was no MacBook Pro sale.

That would be entertaining to see.

Do they even know what wallet.dat is?

For some reason it seems that all *pad, iPhone, and MacBook ads are all scams.  I can't recall a single legit sale of any of these items for as long as I've been on these boards.

This is one instance where there's an argument for alt block chains, if for no other reason than to give us an idea of how the chain behaves when you diminish the reward.  A quick look at the history of prices of SolidCoin when it reduced block rewards tells us that the price of each coin increases whenever this happens.  I'm uncertain whether you can draw any parallels about the exact ratio of block reward reduction and market price though.

You know, you're absolutely right.  I was thinking that the 7970 (and thus the 7950 with a little tweaking) could hit 700 MH/s+ easily, and they'd have to be dialed down to hit 550 MH/s. But looking back at the 7970 threads, I see this is not the case.  I still want to see some 7950 benchmarks though  

Does anybody have any news on the 7850s?  I remember people saying that's going to be the go-to card for efficiency a couple months ago.  Has anything changed since then?

Shhh don't give away the strat!

You think?  I'm really curious to see benchmarks come in as people start getting their hands on them.  Now I realize the 7950 has a lower shader count than the 7970, but that can be compensated for by increasing the core a little bit which shouldn't increase power consumption too much.  I like the "550 MH/s" benchmark since it's a number that can be easily hit by the 5970 and, ostensibly, all 79XX cards.  Dial the settings all the way down til each card hits 550 MH/s stably, then measure power consumption.

BTW, are you in the Death and Taxes WoW guild?

Oh sure, on the big end, there won't be an comparison between a 7950 and 5970 if both are maxed out running pedal to the metal.  I totally get that.  However, I was referring to downclocked and undervolted performance, which seems to be popular nowadays.

I can hit 840 MH/s, but this thread is about efficiency.

That was true a few days ago, but maintaining your asking price in the wake of the 7950s @ $450 probably isn't a wise move.

2.46 2.54 MH/W -- 550 554 MH/s @ 224W 218W at the wall

I'm kinda crippled because I only have one 5970 mining.  I think I can get the total system power down if I can figure out how to undervolt the CPU.

Edit: Ok, I figured out how to underclock my CPU and PCI ports.  Curiously, my hash rate bumped up a little bit too.
