Heh, they've emailed me a couple times now asking for reviews after purchasing eight of them in a single order.

Good point. AMD execs are also going to be asking why sales of 7950s and 7970s fell off a cliff in the coming months after Ebay is flooded with used Radeon mining cards.

Nahh, not yet, viva la rise of the altcoinz...

Zalmann, Scythe and Noctura will no doubt be wondering why individuals are purchasing so many silent fans by the wholesale boxload though...

I don't know, even the cgminer devs are mumbling about dropping gpu support like they did CPU mining.

Now for some scrypt FPGAs, then ASICs

Then GPUs will be dead, so long as nobody makes a coin with a new algo.

First AMD must have thought - wow - these GPU's are selling really well. Now USB hub sellers must be thinking the same - I wondered that too

You forget GPUs still have a place of significance in most pcs for like graphics and stuff...

Yes they'll always have some value outside of *Coin land, just not as much

Right, and people like me will no longer want 19 power sucking GPUs, so we'll offload them on Ebay and cut into future AMD sales.

it bugs me that they don't work with raspberry pis though. anyone found other trustworthy 10 port hubs that do? all I find is 5-6 slots

And Amazon must be wondering why the Anker 10-port USB hub is "frequently bought together" with a 92mm portable fan.

That's if someone is daft enough to buy your tortured to within an inch of their lives' GPUs, hope someone buys mine...

Nah they're happy they just use the data to suggest fans to everybody else. "100s of people also bought this: Usb Fan 1, USB Fan 2, 10a 5v mains adapter."

Xilinx must be wondering why is there such a huge demand for their Spartan 6 LX 150.
