[WTS][UK BASED] Complete mining rig with 3 x 7970s

[IYFTech]

£850 for a 3 thrashed graphics cards and half a PC ? I reckon you'd be lucky to get half of that. Do you realize that you could buy 18 Block Erupters for that which will give you ~6 GH/s ?

With respect, you can't mine anything else but BTC with USB erupters - and you definitely can't play games with them. In 2 -3 months those erupters will be worthless due to diff. GPU's are dead for BTC minig - but great for everything else. And they have resale value.

Give the guy a break eh? 

Peace.

Thanks for your input IYFtech, I appreciate the speedy reply. I wanted to purchase a few things from WAE before but their reviews always threw me from ordering, I hope your SSDs land without any problems .

AZW409: In terms of straight hashing power for sha256 based miners then you are on a pretty logical path. But this rig can be used for more than just sha256 mining as its an excellent motherboard and frame, the 3 cards a far from trashed as they were only mined on for a short while, the PSU is gold rated and good for another PC or miner for at least 3 years hardcore use, also I hear that those block erupters cant play a hell of a lot of games lol.

To me I would be happy with around:

£230 per GPU, i'll split up and throw in the remaining risers I have
£90 for the PSU,
£90 for the board, (comes with free RAM)
£70 for the SSD,
£40 for the frame
£35 for the 5870 that mines but doesn't display video properly

I will cover shipping for all of these items, everything has a retail box except for the SSD, frame and the 5870

I also have some various other PC parts and I also have an optiplex 780 with a 3470 I think it is, it has the dms-59 port for the old dual display connectors. This has 1GB of ram and is available for purchase for £80, does anyone need a HP B+W or color laser printer or a HP ScanJet 4070 Flatbed Scanner? Shipping on these heavier items will need to be covered by the buyer though. I welcome you to organise your own courier

These are all listed on ebay and if you see them on there you will notice they are slightly cheaper here no fees!
