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

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.
