Is there anywhere I can get GPUs & FPGA in exchange for BTC? I will have a few extra next month, and I'd like to try to get a rig without cashing out Smiley

Also
Does anyone know where to buy PCs for BTC?

Try here,be careful who you deal with.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=75.0

Can you build your own PC?? If so,your amost done,a dual core 45 watt CPU & 1 gig of ram & an old hdd (IDE or SATA) is all you really need to mine  Wink

A copy of Win 7 is best,but you may be able to mine with XP,I never tried XP for mining myself.

I think I could build my own, I saw videos of how it's done when I was younger. And I want to build one anyways because I want to make videos so that ANYONE can build a mining machine.

Does anyone know of a place where you could get an Xbox for Bitcoin?

Nevermind, this store has it:

hashratestore.com carries powered risers, I've just ordered from them.

Use coupon "bitcointalk" to get $1 off each cable.

I see you are interested in the websites that take BTC.

If you decide to buy off a fellow forum member then I will have a few 5870s (3) for sale in the coming weeks. Just rearranging some of my rigs and parts to drop some higher hashing cards in the mix, thats why they will be going spare.

The 5870s I was referring to are GPUS yes, you can see the thread where I purchased them here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=174989.msg1866428#msg1866428

I would be looking for a similar price that I paid, although because I shall cover shipping like I normally do with my items then it may come out a little bit cheaper for you.

Thanks for the links.

The miner was 300-ish LTC right? How much is that in Btc?

The BTC/LTC rate has most likely changed since I purchased them, I did end up paying in BTC however.

If you are interested in buying the 3 cards from me then I would ask for around BTC4

3 cards, I'm not sure what that means? Is that all I need to mine (plus a computer & CGminer I mean)

I see.

These are just the GPU's ( when I say cards I refer to graphics cards )

You would need a computer that has the available PCIE slots free on the motherboard and a PSU that can provide enough power to the cards.

Would any of these work? (what is a PSU?)

A PSU is a "power supply unit"

None of those you linked to are suited for mining.

Below is a link to the marketplace, your best bet is to try and buy a complete rig off someone here in the forum if you dont understand all of the components required in putting together a miner just yet
