Newegg's got a few 5830's left @ $130 - Great for Mining!

 Dont these make about 0.18 BTC (@ 300 mhz) per 24 hours now - at just todays difficulty level? (without factoring electricity)
 Isnt it a false economy buying hardware these days for mining?
 Would be grateful of some ROI calculations Smiley

Each card will pay for half itself(at $0.20/kwh) within 30 days.

Is this a static difficulty calculation?

With a 6990 I was getting ~ 1.2 BTC per day ~ a month ago, and that has gradually reduced to 0.3*-0.4* BTC per day now
