What would the best way to do so be? I may be in the market for 60+ 7950's or 280 non x cards.

I'd buy the inventory out of most stores, not to mention the rebate limitations.

Thanks for looking!

For that quantity you'd be better off going to a distributor like Computer2000 or similar.

Newegg and ncix don't even have the inventory to fill an order like this, they barely have enough between the both of them. Not to mention zero discount at all.

Thanks for the pointer Helldriver, you don't know of any US side stores like that do you?

Buy them online.  In late 2011 I bought 80 X 5870's from Ben's Outlet for $139 shipped.  Best decision I ever made. Wink

I'd look for someone who has an account with Ingram Micro.

Thanks for looking!

After thinking, you should do some research more before buying 60+ GPU... People already developed FPGA and ASIC for Scrypt mining. Now just waiting for production....

You don't wait if you want to make money.. You buy when new tech comes and then you sell your old hardware. If you wait you will lose, simple as that.

I run 100+ GPUs and just make sure you have the leased space available, as you're not going to want these all in your house.

Also, hope you are in a cooler climate, so you can vent intake/exhaust to handle heat. You also don't want to just go for the newest tech, you want to shoot for the best cost per kh/s, as ROI should be your main goal, not to have a "cool" setup. If you buy used cards, you also don't lose much in resale value of the gear. The gear I bought 6 months ago, can sell for at least 80% what I bought it for. You also need cheap electricity to even consider a large operation.

Certainly won't be running at home, don't even think the service I have there would run this many cards  Grin

Electricity is cheap, no longer free but .08/kwh seems decent enough though. I've got cooling under control as well, but that's something I'd like to keep secret  Wink

It seems I've finally found a distributor that doesn't care about resale licenses and all the BS, don't know how many phone calls I've made today...

I don't know what you would use those cards for, mining or reselling. But if you could get a good price for them, i did do it if i had the money, as i would make profit anyway.
