I found that one computer store in my country selling this BIOSTAR Radeon HD5850 at good price, but they only gave 2 weeks warranty
so it really makes me worried

the question is, have anyone ever use this card, is it good enough? can this card last long?

TIA

I believe all Radeon HD5850 are pretty much the same. As long as you have good cooling it should last.

In the mining program you can config the fan to run 100%. For motherboard, something like a GIGABYTE G1 Sniper would work for 4 cards. Also you are going to need a powerfull power supply 1000W +. In terms of money, it doesn't look cheep. With all this talk about ASIC chips coming out it sounds like Bitcoin difficulty is going to increase by a lot. It will take you over a year to break even.
