Along with bitcoins, one of my other hobbies is sub-zero overclocking of computer components. There is a site which tracks points and submissions with various pieces of hardware (www.hwbot.org). Because of the wide array of hardware out there, I'd like to gather some points for myself. With that said, I thought I would come to you guys for some of the cards I am looking for:

-Reference 7970's (please don't offer abused mining cards) that I could hopefully RMA if need be.
-"Suped up" 7970's, which include, but are not limited to the MSI 7970 Lightning and Asus 7970 Matrix Edition.
-"Suped up" GTX680's, again, include but not limited to EVGA 680 Classified and MSI 680 Lightning.
-"Suped up" GTX580's. For this one, I am only looking for Asus 580 Matrix, or MSI 580 Lightning cards.
-Any cards that you think I might want because they are slightly older gaming graphics cards.

I can pay via Bitcoin or Dwolla, I have a bit of rep on this site (but I haven't made a thread to track it all yet), and I also have a Heatware account here: http://heatware.com/eval.php?id=66694
I am a well established member at quite a few computer forums (the main one being www.overclockers.com/forums where I have almost 8,500 posts).
Feel free to ask questions, offer cards you think I'd be interested in, or just drop in with some information.

Thanks in advance!

In light of the litecoin bubble, the price is now $295 shipped to 60190 for nice reference 7970's.

While you are searching, if you ever run across any ASUS GTX 580 DCII GPU heatsinks let me know. I still have my 4 cards from running quad-SLI but I lost three of the heatsinks when I moved from Georgia to Colorado. Can't sell you the bare cards as well.. I blasted them pretty hard and trust me, you don't want them anymore  Grin

Kind of miss overclocking stuff on LN2.. maybe I'll get back into that when I get space for a benching room.

Aseras, no thank you for now. If I can't find anything I might get in touch with you.

Gomeler, will do. I've seen you around a few places and I'll let you know.

If you don't mind me asking, what setup do you use for temperature control? I haven't really looked into anything more than liquid (looked up submersion a few times, but never tried it).

I started out using dry ice. There are various containers which you can buy for either graphics cards or processors which hold whatever your frozen medium is. In the case of dry ice, you add acetone (or 90%+ isopropyl alcohol to aid the transfer of heat energy). I just recently purchased a 150L liquid nitrogen dewar though, because in the world of sub-zero cooling, colder is better. In some rare cases, people use liquid helium, but that presents a few more issues than controlling condensation.

Dry ice runs ~$1/lb and is at ~-80*C.
Liquid Nitrogen runs ~$1.50/L and is at -196*C
Liquid Helium runs anywhere from hundreds to thousands for a single session, but it's the coldest liquid used at -269*C (4*C from absolute zero).

Not so much. My main focus is on 7970's. The other cards don't have nearly the performance of a good 7970 on liquid nitrogen.

I'm currently working on a deal for a 7970. I'd rather not have multiple transactions for expensive cards going at once. If that card doesn't sell, we can work out a deal after I finish this transaction.
