Fair warning, those "Diamond" cards are actually made by a company named "Best Data" and they're awful compared to most of the other manufacturers.  Support is terrible and the cards have a higher rate of failure than most.  Shame too, Diamond used to be a good name in the business.

I've recently just started mining for bitcoins and after some of reading on the forums it seems as though ATI's 5800 line of cards seem to be the most profitable if you can get them at the right price.  I was looking around and found that Fry's.com has the 5830 in stock for 130$ after a 50$ rebate.  I avoid rebates like the plague but at that price and the possibility of getting them in 2 days for 5 $ shipping seems reasonable.  Just wanted to let the mining community know.

If you know of a place to get this card cheaper please post it.

Any donations for a inside info first post would be appreciated Cheesy.
