Hi all, I just registered today as I get more and more serious with bitcoin mining. Lucky for me, in my current location I already have access to a system with one watercooled 5970 ( 
) thats been running for about 36 hours now.
Each core of the 5970 has almost 8000 shares from slush's pool. They're mining away at avg 500+ m/hs.
Anyways, fortunate for me my other home has solar panels which lower the electric bill to a fraction of what it once was. This allows consideration of electrical cost of mining rig to be almost nonexistent.
I was hoping to see what everyone else on here thinks of this current 24/7 Mini ITX mining rig I've put together on newegg. (assuming almost everyone on here has an exceptional knowledge of computer hardware + bitcoin mining)

As the video card is the most essential unit in a mining rig, I have yet to decide on what that will be. I am considering a 5770, 5830, 5850, or 5870. However I have yet to find that irresistible deal on one that will make this all become a reality. I'd like to get at least 200+ mega hashes out of the card. The rest of you scoundrels have swept up all the remaining 5970s and 6990s from the market
So let me know what you guys think about my current setup/situation/goals. Thanks!

I cannot see why you would do this. Everything that is not a video card is not making you money and 5830's, 5850's and 5870's are nearly impossible to find.
