Ati 5830's you can get 'em cheap <$99 and they overclock good and still stay cool unlike 5770/6770s

270MHs (875/500/66c) for $99 thats 2.72Mh/$ ROI

I even see one on ebay $75 buy it now! Assuming you could collect (that's 3.6Mh/$ ROI)

http://www.ebay.com/itm/XFX-ATI-Radeon-5830-1GB-PCI-Express-/321000286598?pt=PCC_Video_TV_Cards&hash=item4abd1ba986

Some people even manage to get them running over 300MHs potentially 4Mh/$ ROI @ $75

I got a 7950 to stick in my work PC for the next couple of months, cost me £220, should hopefully earn £80 - £100 before its no longer worth running even with free electricity... then I will sell my 6870 from my home PC and hopefully it should work out as a pretty GPU upgrade for my gaming machine, probably just £50 difference Smiley

Nothing like risking a full time paying job for a few £ in electricity. Smiley

I never understood people that try to shove a GPU into a work PC because of 'free power'.  So, let's lose a job that makes more in an hour than we'd make in two weeks of mining.  At some point someone is going to hear the GPU running, notice the power spike or the web traffic going to a mining pool.  Try to explain to your boss and HR what 'this bitcoin thing is', and see what they look like when you start talking crypto currency.
