IMHO the 6xxx series trumps the 5xxx series in mining LTC.

Pardon my ignorance but 5830's as far as i know can only run in a dual setup for ~530 mhash

Would be keen on 5850's ??

You don't need crossfire to mine so you can run as many as you want on riser cables.

The 5850 is a better card (more efficient per Mh) but will cost you at least 25% more than a 5830.

If electricity is cheap/free, think of that as buy 4 get 1 free.  Wink

Hopefully can find a good MB that will take 6 cards that i can source new from suppliers over here in Oz

My bad was using it as a performance spec

Be sure to get 12v from the PSU rather than the board for the PCIe slots, any more than 3x cards on a single board without that tends to toast the 24 pin connector
