2 years ago, this picture made me crazy, but now, i just think 'bout the guy, who must had a lot of trouble for selling all this stuff...

But it's nothing, i remember the pic of the guy in his garage, with a damn lot of GPU's and the caption "I've made a huge mistake" Grin
Not exactly, some coins are still profitable for gpu mining and the hardware is a lot easier to resell and holds value longer.

Do you have math to show this?   I was struggling at end of my GPU day's to make more then electricity.  I was better off and I parted all my GPU systems out.

I have one sitting doing nothing still I kept.  It's a small  unit compared to the 5 and 6x GPU machines I was using.
Well currently a 280x gets $0.24 profit on the top current gpu coin @.06$/w (my current rate .07$ summer), this has to also take into that the cards released January 9, 2012 and can still pump out profit and be resold at 30% original release date price.

When I talk about ROI.   Old GPU cards don't really count as no one can replicate.  I'm talking about a buying parts, and setting it up and making a profit.   It still sounds like .24 cents you cannot build a machine and mine.  And if you parted out you would pay for hundreds of day's of mining.
True, Personally I just built a rig recently because I enjoy mining (weird I know) and am actually not doing the coin shuffle to stay on the highest profit and trade it but just mining dash directly. I am one of those crazies who think that there may end up being a couple valuable coins and with Bitcoin as a Gold standard but Dash as a viable coin as well. (I know I would get more Dash if I just did the shuffle)
