back up now
I still can't get on it. Is it back down again? Re: Anyone have an idea of the current rating for a .47uh inductor on a 7950?
Are inductors like capacitors, where you can use a larger current rating component without issue? Just so long as you get the right microHenrey value??

Yes, I would think so.http://www.digikey.com/product-highlights/us/en/sumida-cdmc6d28/376
I was actually thinking since I am a gamer and my machine already old, I will get 4X7970s running in Quad-Crossfire, actually put on a decent ram and CPU anduse it for gaming and have it mine novacoins and litecoins in the meantime. If it pays for itself in a year that way, I would be pretty happy with that. Unfortunately, I do pay for my own power. Also, I see everyone saying 7950s, but what about 7970s or even the new 7990s?
This is what I'm doing. I have 2x7970 that I use to mine litecoins while not gaming (and my electricity is included in my rent for the moment 
).The reason everyone recommends the 7950 is because they are cheaper and have mining performance equivalent to the 7970 (although for gaming the 7970 is better). As for the 7990, it seems to have a speedup of around 2x compared to the 7950/7970, as one would expect.

If you want to start mining right now, the HD7950s are the way to go, and they'll be useful for mining Litecoins even after Bitcoin reaches ASIC saturation.
By the way, $3400 seems pretty pricey for 5 of those cards and a box...the 7950s cost ~$320 each. You could save a lot by building the rig yourself. But anyway, if you decide you want to go this route, make sure you can support the 12+ amps it will draw. Also be aware that you won't see a return on investment for at least a year.
