I have 15 BFL Singles mining away with 15 SC upgrades dancing in my dreams. Every email I get I hope it is BFL asking me to send them in for upgrade.
Damn.... Sounds like you knew someone over at BFL...

Im mining with 4 X 7850 / 2 x 7770 / 2x 7950
Makes about 3000 KHashs consuming 1,5 KW/h :-D
Im payinf 0,28 $ per Kw/h, so at the moment its really worth the effort.

What types of chassis do you use for those machines (and perhaps in particular, the quad-GPU one)?
I have a well-ventilated SFF case for my single-GPU system, but I guess I'll have to use milk crates or something when it reaches 4..
I 2nd this request... Can you share more details?

15 BFL ghezzz how did you get those you must have known someone on the inside
Must have cost a bomb admitantly

Wow, I really envy you guys who found some free power! In Denmark, the kWh rate is about 0.36 USD, so it's pretty expensive to mine over here, haha.
I turned out to have a Radeon 5850/Core i5-750 SFF PC lying around, so that's been setup for mining. Definitely going to upgrade this though: removing the (albeit well cooled) SFF case, and buying more GPU's. (Too bad those PCI-E riser cables seem so.. rare?)
There seems to be a lot of hype around the Radeon 7950, but man, that card is just insanely expensive. Over here, a used 5850 is around 1/4th the price - and maybe I'm just lucky, but they seem rather easy to get hold of as well.

I've struggled to find any 5 series cards in the UK, there's quite a lot of 6 series cards flying around though on Ebay, considering expanding but I'd rather not if these new ASIC miners do change the game that much, I'd rather save some BTC for a 2nd Gen or a second hand 1st Gen.

Are your FPGA quite stable to run then?

As I'm a hobbyist miner and I need to make a few posts I thought I'd make an effort to see what other hobbyists use. Mine:
2 AMD 6950 graphics cards I got off Ebay
and a beast of a computer I built a year or two back running Xubuntu.
Used to generate around 1BTC a week (I've had some issues with OS instability and cards overheating lately), I don't pay power bills as my work was kind enough to let me rig up a machine in their server room.
Hoping to get on the ASIC bandwagon at some point but not overly worried about this gold rush atm, seems a lot of people have faith in the things.
