I bought a referb for $90.00 CAD at a comp store and it mines at 200Mh/s OC'ed.

Only good thing is it has only one power connector on it so it works with a smaller PSU.

Thats not a 5870... your thinking a 5770.

and at this point in the mining game i would expect 90 US dollars spent to get 300 mh/s.
naturally MB/ram/cpu/psu/etc is not factored into that.


Sadly not in the great white north. Ironically our CAD is worth more than your USD to boot!

I just found a referb for $300.00 CAD. I'd love to try mining with this puppy but 300 is too steep!

it's not worth it at that price. The only reasonable reason to buy hardware right now it's if prices are good.
