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.

Um, yes, I know that everything that is not a video card in this computer is not making me money. However, in order to use a video card I need a system to run it in do I not Huh

Not sure if I understand what that comment is supposed to mean. But this is about as cheap as one can get given the circumstances

I'm not gonna blow $4000 on a dual 6990 system with mining difficulty growing at such a horrific rate.

An extremely small, sub $400 system that can mine at at least 200+ m/hs 24/7 pooled sounds pretty effective to me.

And 5000 series video cards are still plentiful enough, maybe not new of course, but there are several websites that would allow me to acquire a used one.

Even with free electricity, your payoff is still a few months down the road.

Your $/MH = 2:1 which is kinda high, in my opinion. If you can snag two 5830s and get 300 MH/s each I think you'll have a very strong setup.
