Hey guys,

I haven't been in the bitcoin community for a while due to studies etc.
Last time I was generating Bitcoin was in December where there was all this hype about ASIC.

Reading around, it looks like companies like bASIC pulled out with people's money or something.

Anyways, my rig currently has 3 Watercooled 5970s, all hashing away nicely. (Going to take 1 5970 out as I need to do some work on it)
A great opportunity has appeared for me to buy 2 watercooled 5870s for a great price.
I was wondering if I should invest in these 2 cards, or is there any legit ASIC company out there.

I do know that IF, and yes IF, ASIC does occur, I can always switch to Litecoin.

So what would you people recommend?

At the current rate, it will take me 3/4 of a month to fully pay off these watercooled 5870s (a rig with 2x 5970s, and 2x5870s).
So that will be roughly 2.7 ghash. (Can go higher, not sure how hard to I can push the 5870s yet)

Those cards pull a nice amount of electricity, but still, do it. Price is high, you will most likely be making money for a while
