I have a "hunch" that the value per btc will shortly be back to under 10$. Pools will just keep getting bigger and continue mining no matter how high the difficulty level gets. Solo miners will eventually be leftwith two choices, either to join a pool or to drop their rigs and sell them. mining at 1.6ghs with todays difficulty level gets me roughly 1.8 bitcoins per 24 hours. the difficulty went from 500K give or take to 800K give or take and the difference in coins was roughly .3 of a bitcoin per 24 hours. I was making 2.1 bitcoins per 24 hours, now i am making 1.8 bitcoins.

I assume you mean PCI-E power connectors and not SATA.  There's no SATA anything on your video card.

Either get another PSU or just some simple PCI-E power splitters.  There's some that split from molex or even from a current PCI-E connector so you can attach more devices.  Sure your current PSU has plenty of plain regular molex being unused.

That's good as long as you know your PSU can handle the total load.  I'm powering 4 6870s on a 1000w just fine.  Do 6970s require that much more power?  (I don't know) but I would guess that your 1600w would be enough for it.  Sure someone else would chime if I'm mistaken.  *shrug*

What kind of motherboard are you using, and how many mhashes per second are you getting? atleast 400?

This might be odd but im mining at 600mhashes and the card said on the solo mining 5k blocks. do i need to go to 130k block before it can actually find a bitcoin? If it finds a bitcoin will it say on the bottom how many coins i have found/mined? or is there a different option to view what bitcoins you have found/mined.

Motherboard   MB ASUS|P8P67 WS REVOLUTION REV 3.0
Power Supply   Ultra X4 1600-Watt Modular Power Supply - 135mm Fan, ATX

each card needs to be connected to the PSU correct? so the PSU came with 3 sata wires because it only has 3 slots for those sata wires (hopefully they are called sata and i am not mistaken). Well one sata is used up, so we are left with only two for the graphic cards. is there any PSU unit that has 4-5 or 6 SATA wire slots so you can connect more than 3 items to it? and also which motherboard do you recommend i purchase i have 3 6970s. i am looking to keep the rig i built the way it is, and just get a new motherboard and a new psu unit for the additional 3 6970s that i have

I have completed my first rig. The psu only was able to support two cards because it didnt have enough slots. I have 3 6970s remaining, i want to know which motherboard can someone suggest for those specific cards and which PSU unit that will actually have enough slots for all 3 cards to get power. Thanks guys!
