Rebuilt rig 4 over the weekend and threw it in a "milk crate frame".  The 2 cards that are included with it apparently don't like being the primary card which is where my stability issues came from.  I installed a cheap nvidia 9500gt (which can be included if requested) as the primary card.  It's running stable 12+ hours now (still had to restart the miner a few times for the 6870 to kick off initially) win7 64 bit, 13.12 driver, AMD SDK 2.9, bfgminer 3.10, cg watcher relaunching bfg when hashrate falls below 275Kh/s or if cards go sick/dead, which neither scenario has happened yet running solid at 558 KH/s since rebuild no overclock 18 intensity.

Now that that info is out there:

Don't make me take these rigs to ebay!  I'm using this BTC as mentioned in an earlier thread to start a small local game store that we have settled on a name "Decks and Dice Games" so beyond just selling it is BTC funding a business startup!  And yes we will accept BTC payments for RPGs, CCGs, and Miniatures!

Purchase EVERYTHING for $1600 SHIPPED in the US which is 2.73 BTC at current PREEV conversion!

district PM'd you.

Diamond 6970 - detects by both win and bamt will mine for a second then lock up showing a negative temp reading?
Radeon Ref 5870 - fan drilled and oiled - detects in win and bamt - will mine for a few minutes then rate drops to 0

Those 2 cards install in windows7 and display picture fine have used them for basic browsing and such while attempting different drivers etc. attempting to mine with them.  I can't say what function they are capable of above displaying windows basics though.

Would any of those graphics cards in the graveyard be able to just be used for regular computer usage?

(Sorry if this is a really stupid comment)

What would be your bottom line on rig 3 or 4?

Pm'd cannachris back.

I am willing to work on price on the rigs within reason, but unless someone speaks for a rig and doesn't want to purchase ALL the cards in it then I do not want to sell the cards by themselves at this time.

3 BTC shipped in the US for everything?

Are you willing to part out any of these? Maybe sell a card or 2 separate? I'd buy rig #3 for 0.38BTC

If you don't want magical floating by wire cards you can always buy

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/wts-custom-made-open-frames-485258

or I have a person that makes aluminum frames within 2 hours of me I would be willing to pick up and ship with each for their cost+gas/4

Make an offer on the lot and mine some scrypt while btc price recovers from the fall of Gox!

Prices listed do NOT include shipping and are given for close to current value; use the USD price to calc at payment time coinbase or preev pricing.  
Wanting to ship to the US only will use USPS flat rate with insurance.
Have done multiple trades with solid trust history, but if required can use trusted escrow understanding this is mining hardware and as I did the best to describe any issues it can be fickle as many of you know so would prefer escrow be released on deliver and can work with the buyers if they are unhappy or unable to get something to work.
The 3 HP motherboard do not include system fans or USB headers, but they complain on boot about those not being installed so require you to hit F1 on boot.
Edit: forgot to mention the PSUs are larger than standard size.  They have the same bolt pattern to attach to a frame etc, but are longer.

Willing to do a package deal for everything and make me an offer for items shipped. Price and packages will however stay reasonably close to what I'm asking for now.
