I find it easier to replace a fan than to replace a burnt out GPU :p

Hmm. Great price, I think I might order one. Personally, though, I think the fans running on auto is better than running at 100% because the fans can only take so much before the bearings wear out.
How many 5970s do you have and how long were they mining for (@ 100% fan)?

I have 8, and they were running for about 5 months. None of the fans make any noise they're not supposed to.

I am selling my Radeon HD 5970's. 75 BTC each, shipped anywhere in the US.
They have been used solely for Bitcoin mining. They are clean and have no problems whatsoever, no freezeups, no nothing. Also, they have never been aggressively overclocked (I am kind to equipment I care about). I have always run the fans at 100% speed - even when not mandatory - to ensure the lowest GPU temps. Every one of my cards has solved dozens of blocks in solo mining. They are 100% reliable at the speeds I ran them at. I ran them to yield just over 660 MHash/s. (770 MHz where stock is 725 MHz). The fans are in perfect condition, everything is about as good as you can ask for.
I have the original boxes. Each card has two DVI outputs and a DisplayPort output. One of my mining rigs was featured in a June issue of Bloomberg BusinessWeek, these are the same cards I am selling.
May be missing DisplayPort / CrossFire connectors, not needed for bitcoin mining. You probably won't need these, even for gaming, but please e-mail if you do.
To buy a 5970, go to my website, submit a shopping cart with nothing but Priority Mail shipping, ignore the total, and pay exactly 75 BTC to the order address. Fill out your shipping address, and include the following in the notes:
----- BEGIN COUPON -----
Ordering a Radeon 5970 as advertised on forum
----- END COUPON -----
Please contact me if interested in ordering outside the US. I assume interest outside the US is slim because the costs and hassle outweigh the utility of buying a used card.
If you'd like to order Casascius Physical Bitcoins, I can ship them in the same order and you won't pay shipping.
Why am I selling? I stopped mining around the time my third child was born (July), we needed the room without the heat and the noise, and I'm unlikely to start mining again.
