You seem to contradict yourself in your statements, you don't care about ROI, but you want to buy the latest and greatest GPUs? I don't think you know exactly what you want and you need to do further research. You can easily mine alt-currencies with smaller cards if you're not looking to profit from this.
Again, I think you're ahead of yourself in the research stage and you need to define your objectives.
Best of luck and feel fre to ask questions if you need help.
My first post and several after have made it clear that I have never looked at this from strictly a ROI position. Yes I want the latest and greatest GPUs for multiple reasons. One is that these are excellent for mining as far as standard computer hardware (non-purpose specific) can be anyway. These GPUs can be used for several years to come regardless of whether I mine or not. I am sorry if my reasoning was not clear but this whole thread has been about acquiring the best current equipment for mining but that also has other uses. Right now I plan to start with two 7990s as soon as I can get them, these will be used to mine twenty-four seven but if the introduction of the ASICs increases the difficulty levels to the point that BTC mining becomes outdated with them then I can use them to mine LTC or TerraCoin. If I grow bored with mining then I still have to kick-a** GPUs I can use in various methods. It it more about usability that profitability. Do I wanna make lots of money mining? Yeah, who doesn't! But its not important! Does that make sense?
That makes more sense now, there were a few discrepancies along the way, but that makes more sense.
