just editing this post that was already here (it used to be about 7770 for $70, hence the reply below)

MIRs suck.

but if you actually used it and sold those game coupons on ebay, I guess it'd be under $150.

buy this if you want a decent card for gaming (2GB RAM), not to put together some new mining machine.  

link fixed to not take you to page 2 comments, hah.

Good for weak PSUs.

Bad for density and occupies a valuable slot for a measly 200MH/s.

Yeah, that was what I told someone else.  It's not worth it simply because of the PCI-E slots being used..

But I suppose if you have a few extra PCI-e slots and want a decent gaming card, etc..

(ed: oh, and something that should get a much higher % back if one were to sell it used vs something like a 5830 or 5870, when ASICs finally push GPU's out)

2GB RAM.  Supposedly you can sell the game coupons for at least $30.  

ed: oh, cool..  the rebate isn't one of those ghetto prepaid debit cards or anything like that... just like a $20 gift card at newegg

i pulled the trigger & actually bought one..   after looking at the games a bit closer, i think those could sell for like $40-$50

ed:  nm, the rebate is a prepaid american express reward card.  lol.  oh well, w/e
