Still spinning. The borgs are taking over though. 3 more hiding in the basement.

  You know the super long twist ties that come with your PSU cables? They work, 1.5 years out and not one failure.
Actually an old pic there. Down to 3 identical rigs in the basement mobo and all w/ two 5970's, 5870, 5850 all reference design and one BFL (aka Bull Fucking Lame) each.

Very glad I just trimmed the fat (5830's non-ref. 5850's) from the cave and didn't sell out everything.

Thanks I shitted in one hand and hoped in the other. Guess which filled up first?

Where did you purchase your pci->pcie cable/adapters?

But I only see 5 connected and that should be so on what I guessing is an Asrock970 board.

Sapphire 5830x2, 5850x2, Asus  P7P55 WS, i5 670, PCPower 950w
Shrouds now removed from GPU's and living in basement.

Taking a break

5 PCIe slots 5850/5870/5970's in bound 

Main Rig 2x5850's


+A few other 5850's and 5770's laying around town.

^ Now that's interesting, which pcie switches are you referring too?

Still have a couple together plus some signature BFL stand alone psu's if your interested.
Hate to just scrap them.

Sitting on a few of these old bastards stripped down to nothing.
The 120 and 92mm fans while loud can be made useful.
What about the heatsinks? They look like they could be great for a low profile case however they have the mounting holes of a mobile socket P.
Be a shame to waste these nice heatsinks let alone the silicone and everything else that was put into them.
I'll say despite my hate for BFL like many others, they did make these to stand up to the stress of time and hard labor, though short.

So whats one to do with these pieces of history?

I see this as a good thing. Catching up with modern chip manufacturing for a p2p network is nothing to be upset about.
Expect to be flat or down for awhile however. Still have that why should joe blow use btc whether he knows it or not dilemma.
Big money gets in quietly before joe gets in.
