This is pretty awesome!
I can't really make an offer just yet though, we'll see =/

CYPER,

Have your design details of the case?  I'd be willing to shoot you a BTC for the effort.

I need to build 2 just like it...

CYPER,

I need to build 2 just like it...

He PM'd me a week ago when i asked.. i didnt build one this way otherwise i would have donated.. but i want to pass it along

Here are the exact dimensions + guide on how to make the case: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=7216.msg395121#msg395121
And if you value my intellectual work you might want to send a donation to 1N54SWWuxbwkXkFXoA8ATRBpiXp8NwbEts

Thank you for your offer but according to Ebay only the cards costs around that much There are 6 successful auctions over £130 in the past month with 1 going as high as £165.
And my cards are still in warranty

Don't forget the fees and the fact that uk is probably one of the most expensive countries in EU

Not sure if you would agree to ship to another EU country (Poland) - but if you would - I'd be willing to buy just the cards - for $750 shipped.
Contact me if you change your mind and still can't sell it.

Thank you for your offer, but I would really love to see the whole rig go together, because I have much pride in building it and would have to see it apart - it is just perfectly built and optimized.
Would wait a bit longer for any offers for the whole rig as I'm not really in a hurry.
Also that PSU is one of the best on the market and costs £125 new here.

[AniceInovation]

Do you take bitcoins and how much would you want

[CYPER]

Due to the rate being quite playful it would be the bitcoin equivalent of 1100 euros on the day of purchase. That's including shipping.

If you have any questions please do ask

[AniceInovation]

I offer 70 BTC shipped for the rig without the cards.
PM if interested

[CYPER]

Thank you for your offer, but I'll wait and see if anyone wants to buy the whole system - I've spent too much time and effort making it to see it apart. It's my pride

[CYPER]

Great looking and working rig here

$900 AUD shipped to AU......??

about 1 month now with no takers, I may be interested - let me know your best price GBP atm & for shipping to Spain (I also can get good rates for this if it needs to go via courier), I haven't mined before so would appreciate the tech support necessary on how to connect this up & to get it mining being included in the deal

cheers

If tech support is added to the equation then the price is as you see it in the title - £1000 or the same in BTC delivered. Like I said I'm not in any rush and already got some good offers on PM, just not good enough
What I offer is a complete package that will deliver proven results

[Otoh]

OK forget the tech support, I'd just need very clear & simple instructions of what to plug in where & what I need to do to get it mining for the first time here, last month you offered it at €1,100 if paid in BTC to include shipping, which is £919 - so I'd expect an offer of £900 or less including shipping & to be using an escrow. Unfortunately I have some issues with my power supply that need to be resolved before I committed myself to this if we were to agree on a price etc, I hope to get that sorted in the next couple of weeks

What is the power consumption kW/h & efficiency MH/W

What is the power consumption kW/h & efficiency MH/W

If you would not require tech support (such as installing Ubuntu, drivers, miners, scripts, SSH) then I can reinstate the price of 1100 Euros shipped and that will be my lowest offer.

Power consumption for 1784MH/s is 800W average/830W Peak from the wall, so taking into account the efficiency of the PSU the hardware uses 750W from the PSU.
1784MH/s / 800W = 2.23MH/W

I would say that is very efficient

[Otoh]

thanks for the info, that all sounds good, but I'd assumed that Ubuntu, drivers, miners, scripts, SSH & anything else that needed to be installed to mine would be already on it as you're using it for that I'd guessed, then you'd just need to explain to me how to point it at a pool or set that up for me would be best, otherwise I'll check out round here to see if anyone could do that for me & show me how to maintain it

if you haven't sold it by towards the end of next month then I expect to be visiting the UK for the last week or so & if we'd agreed everything then perhaps I could then pay in cash or BTC after you'd given me a demo plus any instructions I'll need & take it straight to shippers unless it can be well enough packed for hold luggage & hopefully by then I would have sorted out my 'lecy problem

[CYPER]

thanks for the info, that all sounds good, but I'd assumed that Ubuntu, drivers, miners, scripts, SSH & anything else that needed to be installed to mine would be already on it as you're using it for that I'd guessed,

I stopped mining months ago when the BTC exchange rate fell under $3, because it was not enough even to pay my electricity. Since then the rig has been staying in my wardrobe under a blanket  waiting for better days. I just can't be bothered with mining any more - electricity here is expensive and the rig was sitting in the corridor next to my door so it was an annoyance when trying to sleep.
Yes the rig is fully installed with all the necessary software, but I would rather format the hard drive as it holds a lot of personal information such as passwords and logins - I hope you understand.

then you'd just need to explain to me how to point it at a pool or set that up for me would be best, otherwise I'll check out round here to see if anyone could do that for me & show me how to maintain it

I could help

if you haven't sold it by towards the end of next month then I expect to be visiting the UK for the last week or so & if we'd agreed everything then perhaps I could then pay in cash or BTC after you'd given me a demo plus any instructions I'll need & take it straight to shippers unless it can be well enough packed for hold luggage & hopefully by then I would have sorted out my 'lecy problem

That's a lot of time, but will see

If you want help setting it up ( either from scratch or as left by CYPER ) I can help.

I got mine setup with cgminer and best software combinations and settings too without overvolting etc. = rock stable. One rig gets about 1.5 BTC / 24 hours if you know where to look.

I have got exactly the same setup on two rigs over here with 4*5870s on each and getting exact hashrate like CYPER and even same wattage ( 750W at wall on a SB rig and 850W at wall on old P4 rig ).

Happily mining at 1780 mhash/s each of them.

Let me know if you need help !

My rates are very reasonable.

[Otoh]

many thanks to you both for the offers 

[ChanceCoats123]

Are you interested in parting out the cards?

Are you interested in parting out the cards?

Not really, unless you make me an offer I can't refuse 

[AniceInovation]

The rig to me, the card to him 

[CYPER]

The rig to me, the card to him 

Just got an offer for 1400 AUD, but the shipping charges I find to Australia are ridiculous. I wrote back to the guy to see what he can offer about the shipping.

If anyone can offer anything better please do

[Otoh]

hi again,

I'll worry about my 'lecy being cut off later I guess so am happy to accept your offer of GBP equivalent to €1,100 including shipping to Spain, if you'd like a free holiday then feel free to bring it over yourself - though we've also got the EU Siberian winds cold snap atm, can you just remove your private data & leave all the rest pointed at an easy to start with miner or set one up for me, I don't mind if you know my passwords ID etc for that, let me know how best we can escrow this - if you can trust me I'm happy to Internet bank the £s on delivery or BTC as you like, my eBay ID is over 10 years of 100% very positive feedback with well more than 1,000 transactions if that helps

looking forward to giving your fab miner a new home in the sun, feel free to visit it any time you like

Let me know if you are still interested in the support.

I can do it and get you up and running at 447 mhash/s easy-peasy in 30 minutes I think with latest software and completely stable ( depends on CYPER's cards and their quality but I think that won't be a problem ). I understand CYPER and if I were him I too would format the HDD and remove all personal info with Guttenberg erasing technique .

You just need to be able to install the Linux initially then I can take over and do all of the software after I get SSH access if you want.

Thanks !

First thank you for your acceptance of my offer Also I have to be fair and wait for the guy from Australia to respond, because he wrote to me first. Your offers are very similar and I'll need to decide which one to accept

But in general:

About the hard drive - I would really like to securely delete it to make sure all personal information is gone. Nothing personal, just principles when handling sensitive data

About the payment - what escrow service do you have in mind? Can you pay with bitcoins in order to avoid all the additional fees related to transferring the money?
Also I would like to receive the payment before sending the rig and for that I'm ready to provide any reasonable information/documents related to me as to establish my credibility and serious intentions about this sale such as:
7 years old Ebay account
pictures of the rig and me together + a written note of your forum name
household bills with my names as proof of address
anything else you would require to make sure I'm not scamming you 

About the rig - I think the best way to ship it is to disassemble it and put all the hardware in its boxes as I kept these + probably take the wooden rig apart in order to secure its transit and save space. The whole rig + hardware + boxes = 15kg and would fit in a box with 30x45x55cm dimensions.

[Otoh]

bulanula - many thanks for your offer, if CYPER can't set it all up for me which I'm hoping that he can as normal customer service then I may well take you up on your offer, I installed Linux on my Mac so expect I should be able to do that if his comp has Windows or somthing for me to access the Internets with

CYPER - yep I understand you'll need to wait to see how the Auzies respond, re payment I can send £ by Internet banking to any UK bank account which is free but would have more security if we used BTC & it would be good to make the sale in BTC in any case. I saw here that one of the very old established forum members with very high post count & hopefully lots of OTC rep had offered to act as escrow anytime in these situations for free I think to facilitate BTC business, re my positive feedback on eBay I will PM you 2 of my accounts to see & also note that I have lent out 100 BTC to Deathandtaxes on 1/2 plus 250 BTC to Imsaguy on the 5/2 so expect that either one of those would be prepared to act as an escrow if I asked, perhaps also pirate@40 would too if he wasn't too busy plundering or whatever

I'm fine with it being disassembled for extra secure packing, if you can give very precise idiot proof instructions of how to put it back together again, like little coloured stickers on each part & where it plugs in to etc

np about deleting the HD but please to load it all up again with what's necessary to mine & point it to an account for me would be much appreciated

Before anything else I must say that I'll be away between 16th and 25th of February for my ski holiday, so I would suggest I send the rig after I come back, because if I send it now I won't be available if you need any help. Like I said I'm in no hurry to sell it, so it is up to you - if you want it now that is ok.

About the bank payment - do you have a UK based bank account, because sending Euros to my UK account is not free, at least not on my side - the bank will probably charge me some fee (and I have bank accounts in 7 different banks  )

The idea of using a trusted forum member sounds good, but how does it work? You send him all the BTC, I send you the rig and after you receive it, he sends me the BTC?

About the rig - I will make an HD video of the rig before taking it apart and comment in it how everything fits together. I think that is the best way and you won't have a problem putting it back together.

I've spent some time deleting personal information on the HDD, so might leave it as it is. Will confirm that later on before finalising the sale.

I've contacted you on Skype

that's good for me as I'm also in no rush

About the bank payment - do you have a UK based bank account, because sending Euros to my UK account is not free, at least not on my side - the bank will probably charge me some fee (and I have bank accounts in 7 different banks  )

yep, I have a few UK based main street bank accounts in GBP np, also if you liked Wells Fargo for US $ in the States, Dwolla too - I have € acnts but wouldn't use those to pay non € peeps, my preference is BTC then $ then £ - btw you trump me in UK bank acnts atm (care to sell me any of those, jk  ) - also I have more than enough at Intersango except that their withdrawl of £s to UK bank accounts is broken yet again atm

The idea of using a trusted forum member sounds good, but how does it work? You send him all the BTC, I send you the rig and after you receive it, he sends me the BTC?

yep, that seems the best way to go as we'll then both be trusting someone who has high rep here & can follow their advise on how best to do this, I hope that you checked out my glowing feedback on EBay - was just added $2,500 worth today I see

About the rig - I will make an HD video of the rig before taking it apart and comment in it how everything fits together. I think that is the best way and you won't have a problem putting it back together.

cool

I have sent Cyper a PM that I have looked in to the profitability for my regions power costs & it is just prohibitive to mine here atm, I don't mind running it for a small loss but this would be much more than I could justify so very regrettably I have had to cancel my planned purchase, I have expressed my sincere apologies to Cyper for not having researched this properly before saying I would like to go ahead & he has every right to be annoyed at me for the extra work I've given him - I've offered him a small gift as a show of good will & hope that as he was in no rush that he can find someone better informed than I was to complete the sale  

Edit: seems like the calculator that I used had incorrect power costs for my region, now re-checking the feasibility against an actual electricity bill - Cyper is being fantastic re this & I really hope that I can still go ahead with it once I've re-worked the calcs for everything

Can't you just look at your bills from the power company or contact them instead of expecting some website to know what is your cost of electricity.
Also, make sure you get the total cost of electricity, charges for delivering it and all taxes. Where I live electricity itself isn't expensive - but it gets once I add in all the extra costs.

Yep, that's what I'm now doing & should have done in the first place, there's a really weird tax on the consumption which is the cost of the amount used plus a fixed charge of about $10 (for my kW band of supply) summed then multiplied by 1.05113 & also then by 4.864% & I have no idea why it's so complicated but am guessing that the formula for calculating it stays constant (it may be some kind of ecological/sustainable energy subsidies -  so called tax, no idea?) & also that if I use a lot more electricity than at present they would still bill me at the same rate per kWh - am looking for an old power bill where I used about 3 times my normal to check
