If that's not tech porn I don't know what is.

Exactly.  That's why I'm waiting to buy a used BRL single for 50% off from some bored early adopter.  Cool

It is the marginal demand & supply which drives prices.

At one point 5970s were going for $550.  Think about that.  A brand new 7970 with awseome gaming performance, lower heat, lower noise, and lower power consumption with a full warranty (and eye candy like better tesselation) for $550 or a used 5970 of unknown quality which is hotter, noisier, sucks more juice and has no warranty.

Which one do you think a gamer would pick?  No gamer was dropping $400, $500, $550 on 5970s.  Noob idiot miners were and hopefully they got burned hard.

A small change in supply or demand can have a larger change in price.  Hopefully we see a small rise in supply and a small fall in demand.  Not for me of course I am just looking out for those noob miners.  Don't want them getting burned paying too much for obsolete gear.  Smiley

I really don't think that the GPUs 'flooding' into the market will have an effect on prices. We're only talking about a maximum of ~ 12,000 GH worth of GPUs.

Here's something else for yous guys. I'm too lazy to run the numbers. Here's the sales figures to give everyone a sense of scale.

It's never as good as it seems and it is never as bad as it seems.

And all the miners with free power and cooling. I'm surprised at how many there seem to be.

Everything's free in mom's basement.  Grin

Eventually, most people's momfare checks run out eventually. I really think these singles are game changers for building up mining clusters, curious what other people's thoughts are.

You should sell those obsolete 5970s.  Better hurry though before word gets out how noisy and ancient they are.

Are people expecting the secondary market to be flooded with GPU's once singles are being easily accessible?

I believe gamers are really going to enjoy this...

i.e., are you ordering more watercooling blocks D&T? Grin

Well, I only have two, but with the delta fans it was noisier than I like it. Now with the singles, it's the sound of silence.

If interested in the 5970's PM me.

GPUs are off. Also, took the time to unplug the delta case fans,  It's so quiet.  I didn't realize how loud those 5970's were.

So happy  Smiley

Let's keep the relationship/financial discussions out of here; this isn't the place. If you guys want to start a new thread (not in Mining>Hardware, if this needs to be spelled out) where it belongs, go crazy.
Why?
The OP hasn't said so - and no this thread wasn't created by a BFL representative (or you Tongue)
Also if you look back at the OP's posts he's asked a few reasonable questions, a couple that BFL haven't even bothered to answer ...

BFL has already adjusted their original estimates on the Rig box based on their finding from the single and are quite confident this time around.

Ok, time will show  Wink

You are correct. I've waited this long, I can wait a little longer.  Cheesy
