Hi fellows,
I am considering building miner rig. I have access to the well-cooled area with free electricity.

Could anybody advise, which will be most effective solution for that?

At the moment I think of 3 Ati6930 cards, spending 1000$ overall, but really doubt

You'd be much better off going with an ASIC solution like the upcoming Butterfly Labs "Single SC" line of products. For about the same money, you're getting 1000's of times the hash rate as video cards. http://www.butterflylabs.com/products/

Not to mention the electricity usage is much lower.

Site says it generates ~800 Mhashes while costs 600$ (+ ~100$ delivery)

My estimate for 3x6930 more that 1 Ghash (<1000$). This looks quite compatible with ASIC.
I don't care about energy consumption.

Moreover (I am engineer in chip-maker giant) I heard from peers, that ASIC chips really vary in quality and cheap one (I am sure,
they put cheapest there, just like Apple). While for the rig I got 24 months warranty.

So, the question is which would be best solution having free energy. May be I can buy 100 celerons in pawn shop and it would be better? Smiley

Those who are looking at is not ASIC, is the previous technology FPGA
.
Look to the right "Pre Order List"

http://www.butterflylabs.com/products/

Jalapeno Pre Order Form
BitForce Jalapeno  4.5 GH/s  -  $149

Single 'SC' Pre Order Form
BitForce 'Little' Single SC  30 GH/s - $649
BitForce Single 'SC'  60 GH/s  -  $1,299

Mini Rig 'SC' Pre Order Form
BitForce Mini Rig 'SC'  1,500 GH/s  -  $29,899

That 60,000 times the number of hashes as 3 6930s.

This is the pre order, I cannot buy it now, right?

The estimated date of delivery is early November, there is no ASIC devices available even of any company.

But when they leave the difficulty will rise so much that your 6930 will come to naught.

Is foreseen at least one difficult x20

Ooops!! My bad. You're right, 60X. Even so... Why not get 60X the processing power for just a 1/3 more money?

This is a interesting hardware, are this only useful for mining? How does they work? you just plug usb, install software, and enter your user and password?

That "little" single goes to 30,000 mz/s??

In http://www.butterflylabs.com/drivers/ can see the possible applications, but really only used for mining

Plug usb and use with compatible mining software
