and one with 6 7950s .... http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboBund ... 95-_-Combo

I'm wondering how you get six video cards on that mobo. I've seen posts at HardOCP where people are oc'ing as hard as they can and burning cards out in 90-120 days.

Somebody's gotten their hands on a pile of the 7950s and is trying to make the big $$ while there is such a huge premium on the AMD cards.

...but what is the ROI on that? how many BCs can you mine vs the cost of the rig + electricity?

You don't mine bitcoin anymore because the difficulty is too high. You mine script based coins like Litecoin or Feather coin and exchange them for bitcoins. If you run all cards at 100%, you should net about 2 to 3 litecoins per day if mining in a pool. However, you are probaby looking at 70% profit at best when you take electricity into account.

I wish I had a partner to supply the rigs, I live at a boarding school and our electricity is unmetered. Pure profit
