I'm looking at a miner its used and a couple years old but I'm only considering it because I have free electricity. What do you guys think its worth?

270x GPUs are quite old.  I wouldn't purchase it unless you got it for a very cheap price.  You will only get about 12Mh/s per card.  Even with free electricity, you might get a couple of dollars profit from ETH per day, but that will quickly start to dwindle over the next few weeks.  The person selling the rig knows this, that is why they want to get rid of it.

The rest of the components are solid though.  Depending on price, you could try to flip the GPUs on your local resale market (ebay, craigslist, etc.) to see if you can generate some money to buy more modern GPUs.

As the above poster said, 270x GPUs are old. (Although, I'm still mining on HD 7700 and 7800 series cards.) The R9 270x cards were also still mid-range cards, even at the time they were released. (Supposed to be at the lower end of the R9 2xx line, above the R7 2xx).

If you're planning on mining Ethereum, be careful about how much graphics RAM those cards have. If they're the 2GB version, there's a good chance that mining ETH will not be a good option due to the DAG size. Other cryptocurrencies are still an option.

At this point, I would not buy it (period), and would not value it over $800. Keep in mind this is kind of a guessing game. No pictures, many details missing (What RAM? What SSD? What Intel CPU? Is a frame included? Will you be picking it up in-person or will it be shipped to you in pieces, as a kit?)

The R9 270x was a varient on the HD 7870, slightly faster RAM and some BIOS upgrades but the SAME gpu at it's core.

 My HD 7870 cards were viable ZEC miners, but only pulled ballpark 150-160 sol/s with high overclocks as I recall - not BIG money makers but profitable even with their fairly high electric usage.

If you can get the rig REAL cheap, it might be worth mining on it for a while *IF* you have VERY VERY cheap to FREE electric.

 They won't mine ETH and probably won't mine any of the ETH offshoots like ETC due to the DAG file being too big.
 Kind of a bummer, as they were pulling 10-11 Mh/s on ETH during the final days of "2GB cards mining ETH" which wasn't too horrid for that level of a card.


 Would need quite a bit more info to come up with a reasonable price for it.

I'm no longer legendary just in my own mind!

The 270X with a high OC can do ZEC at 190 H/s

Like the other posters have said... if its cheap enough

Thanks guys for the input!

I was thinking of mining some new/low cap coins like EQT and just holding them till they get a decent pump since I don't need to sell to recover electricity costs.

I have one 270x and with equihash algo via nicehash gets like 0.90c income a day. That is without power costs and on this price of Zcash.
