The avalons are 75 bit coins - ouch

What motherboard you using?
Are you in a mining in a pool, which one?

are 5870's the best for GPU mining?

I might go see how much i can pick up a GPU for

Thanks, i just checkout the avalon website and they are out of stock 

Suppose i will just buy some bit coins as an investment instead.

Hi,

Been reading through the forums and googling for 4 hours reading how to start mining.
Looks like buying GPUs and building a dedicated miner seems to be a non starter.

Should i buy a ASIC miner? i was looking a BFL ones but they dont seem to be shipping them yet.

OR

Should i get a FPGA miner? Although not sure which one.

Any help appreciated
Thanks
