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...

Yeah you definitely wouldn't have the power to run that many cards at home. Who'd you go with?

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.

Not looking for opinions on practicality of such a thing or what I might make/loose, just looking for cards  Wink

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....

I've been following this but there hasn't been any decent product announcement, unless I missed something.. got links?

There is, but you have to go over to litecoin forum which I am too lazy to go there....

I'm on the litecoin and feathercoin forums.. last few tidbits I heard of were 2 competing entities making promises but with no hard proof. One of them was going to be hashing on  youtube this week even.

I'd rather not see it just hash on youtube, I think for the best independent proof they should use a miner account provided by a pool who has volunteered as a 3rd party, this way people can see the actual hash.

10..25mh would definitely be interesting to me. But again, just promises so far.

Look at my name, I am your biggest nightmare Tongue

This, I am planing to buy ASIC instead once they are out Smiley

That's really silly. There will not be an ASIC that has a chance at ROI for over a year, while LTC price goes up, and component pricing goes down. You do not want to wait for anything in this realm.

It's not difficult to cool, especially during the winter. My space with over 100 cards is in the 70's ambient temp with just exhaust/intake.

Im thinking you are password decrypting or litecoin mining.

Go on ebay and buy all the 6990's.
