I built a miner and it took a while to get up and running. Finally I got it going strong at 1100 MHash/sec. I run it non-stop and have no problems. It could be pushed further with more tweaking on your end. Specs: WD 250GB Sata 6 GB/s 7200 RPM G.Skill Ripjaws 8GB PC3-10666 AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition 2x XFX HD5850's - 355 MHash/sec eachSapphire HD5870 2GB - 400 MHash/secAzza Helios 910 Case MSI 890 FXA-GD70 COOLMAX| ZP-1000B 1000W PSU I am paypal verified and will only accept payment via paypal, no BTC. I have earned quite a few BTC using this rig but its not as profitable as I'd hoped for, and yes I was a noob thinking old money factors would last longer than 10 days. Looking for $1100 via paypal.http://www.galleryhosted.com/media/images/thumbs_170/001_DJCKBK9R6JL7YRB.JPG http://www.galleryhosted.com/media/images/thumbs_170/002_DJCKBK9R6JL7YRB.JPG

According to NIST and ECRYPT II, the cryptographic algorithms used in
Bitcoin are expected to be strong until at least 2030. (After that, it
will not be too difficult to transition to different algorithms.)

hmmm Not really considering what your cost of electricity is but "Not as profitable as u'd hope"? Have you ever invested $1100 in a bank? Bitcoin mining is great return on investment. Even on a high interest savings account at 2.1% would take you 4-5 years to reach the same amount you make in a month of mining minus electricity.

If your mining you have to mine for the long run several months if not a year in to make all your investment back and more. So after that only electricity is my cost and everything else is profit.

Thanks guys, again I was a noob and thought I'd make it all back in a couple months. I realize it can be profitable and the fact that electricity is free for me even more so. As far as a good investment goes I can make more money in other ventures.
As far as the eye candy goes its built into the fan haha.
Also I had almost all my BTC stolen from me by a hacker, so that soured it a bit for me. Somehow my account was hacked at Deepbit and Slush's pool and my hash address was changed to someone elses. So for a while all my BTC were being sent to whoever hacked into my account. I got it all corrected though, after the big difficulty factor jumps.

Hm, that's only 775 € at the moment. Sounds interesting. Where do you ship from? How much would shipping be to Germany? Is the power supply able to support 220V ?

I have the red version of that case, and that side fan does a great job cooling the cards. I was worried it would be wimpy, but it actually pushes air pretty well. And you can always stick a box fan in front of it if you want to help it out a bit. If you don't like the LEDs, it is easy to snip the wires and put a dab of silicone calk to keep them from flapping around.
