You will have one hell of a time keeping them cool in a normal case, especially in summer.
I would offer them for sale with a tech bench: http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=103_467&products_id=33104
Or with a HAF922: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119197
and replacing all the 120mm fans and the side 200mm fan with high static pressure R4s: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103061 (search online, you can find them for ~$5 each)
I know from experience that you can fit 6x 120mm fans in a HAF922 and that is cools really well (1x bottom, 2x side, 1x rear, 2x top). For the fans on the top/bottom you should get fluid bearing or ball bearing fans too, as cheap sleeve bearing fans like R4s tend to fail quickly when placed on their sides: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835233035
Yes, it's like $30-50 worth of fans, but it will ensure decent airflow over the GPUs so that you don't have customers calling you and complaining in the summer that their rig is dead because of heat. My personal experience is that MSI cards have the best aftermarket cooling too, so I wouldn't buy anything but those. They are still available if you search a lot for them.
Edit: I would also recommend the following PSU instead of the bronze one you chose http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182084
The reason being that this PSU will have >90% efficiency at the est. 450-550w or so you'll be pulling from the PC and also the 7 year warranty and also the price.

Seems more reasonable now.
Since the system has a proper case, windows intalled and already set
up for mining, it's an OK deal now i guess.
And one should not forget, that there is your worktime invested in it, and that has to be paid too.

Yeah, I think the lower price point makes these devices a bit more economical, especially for first-time miners.

Now using even cheaper components, brought the price down to $1200 + shipping.

This sounds more like a resonably price.
I built 2 rigs with 2x7950 each last month for less than 1400 € and they are hashing with over 2.2MH/s
And why this gigantic PSU? Just use a 630W for 45€ and 4 gig RAM. And there are ASRock mainboards with
2 PCIe 16x slots for less than 60€. I really don't get the pricing here
All this sounds like a rip off to me. Sorry
I could do builds with this kind of hardware (aside from a milk box), if people would prefer. Really low-end core parts do significantly decrease versatility of the machine, but for a miner I suppose that's not a problem. I'll look into it.

I added this to the original post as well, but though I'd mention it here.
In an attempt to clear some suspicion out of the way:
The first buyer to get one of these gets $50 off if they agree to post a picture of the machine on this thread once they receive it.

I am very interested. I just cant afford to send out 1400$ without any security other than the amount of posts you have on the forum (repuatation). Frankly i believe you are legitimate and only trying to further the currency. For this i commend you! I'll be watching with an interested eye :p
No problem, it's hard to send $1400 without any security, sadly escrow just isn't an option at this point :/ Thanks for the interest!

So why would I want to buy this when I can just go out on the market and get me a system 10x faster for far less 1x 7950 costs around $180 so that's 360 or their about
then ram everything else...... what makes this any different from someone walking out to a shop and just buying them
?
I give you credit for coming up with a services like this but i wish you best of luck in selling

A 7950 does not cost 180..
buying 2nd hand but new yes would cost around what OP said but still Ill go with something else.......
Thx for providing such an offer tho
Yeah, 2nd hand parts would certainly make the build cheaper, the only problem is the lifetime of the rig would likely take a hit.
April 12, 2013, 11:56:47 PM
escrow?
Unfortunately during the early stages of this escrow would probably not be possible, as I need to buy the parts with the money from the purchases, so having the money come after I've tested and shipped the unit wouldn't hold well. Sorry :\
Keep in mind though that PayPal does protect buyers quite well, and therefore if I end up not shipping a product to you you could file a claim with them, and if I can't provide evidence of a shipping label, packaging, etc. then the money would be returned to your account.
April 12, 2013, 11:28:50 PM
nice offer do you have any pics of the cases
PLease post a pic of the case.
it takes a LOT to keep a 2x7950 in a concealed case cool.
my "desktop" with 2x7950's is in a corsair 400r with 2x 140mm fans on top, 2x120 in front, 2x 120 on the side and 1x120 in the back, and it STILL runs hotter than my open air setups.

I chose a case that allows extremely easy (two thumb screw) removal of the top side panel, so if the machine is used as a dedicated miner it can be run more efficiently:
I will put this info in the thread starter too
