 I came across a case of graphic cards today, I think there are about 50 pcs.   First thing that came to mind was MINNING ! So is it possible to connect these all together and mine with them? How many Mh would I get?  Does anyone know what I would need, is it even possible?

Short answer: No
Long answer: Those look like Nvidia 5700s, which are too old to mine on. Also, its an AGP card, and I don't know of any motherboard with more than 1 AGP port.
You're best bet would be to sell them on ebay, maybe 200 for the whole box?

A bit hyperbolic but yeah. What you've got there is a case of Nvidia Geforce fx5700LE AGP 8x 256MB graphics cards - or in layman's terms "a crappier video card than what comes stock with a Dell laptop." If it mines at all (which it probably won't) it won't push out enough hashrate to be worth the power or the time spent setting it up. Oh and they ebay for $15-$30 each, though I'd imagine there's not a huge target market for old AGP 8x cards so it would probably take ages to sell them all off. Sorry! |

I'm afraid they are correct. Modern motherboards are rarely found with an AGP port, so your market will be people with an older PC looking for a crappy video card.
You might get $30 apiece on ebay, if you are very patient.

Mining on Nvidia requires 8xxx card or newer. a 5xxx card won't cut it by a long shot. |

Guess I didnt notice the fine print Still worth 30 bucks Its not because its being offered for 30 that its worth 30. Its only worth 30 bucks if anyone pays that for it. Did you go to school with usagi? I dont think you will sell (m)any at that price, but good luck trying. |

10 years from now a guy will post something like:
I found a case full of cards. It's written [you choose : bAsic, Avalon or BitForce] on it. Can I mine bitcoins with them?

This is not some pseudoeconomic post-modern Libertarian cult, it's an un-led, crowd-sourced mega startup organized around mutual self-interest where problems, whether of the theoretical or purely practical variety, are treated as temporary and, ultimately, solvable.
Censorship of e-gold was easy. Censorship of Bitcoin will be… entertaining.
