Put this case together the other day even broke a drill bit and drove it into my thumb, it hurt for a sec. The finished product was worth it. The graphics card your seeing there is the ATI HD 5870 Eyefinity 6 Edition 2GB.
I just want to be able to replace my dying MSI R9 390 8G Gaming at a fair price. I work full time and have almost no bills and I still can’t get a decent graphics card for around MSRP. I think what would really help is if the memory modules wernt in such short supply and if mining specific hardware would become more efficient for coins like Etherium so that gamers and hardware enthusiests, like me, could get our hardware for good prices and not have them all be abused for the wrong purpos.
Not sure who your calling greedy if that term even fits the situation. I get the supply and demand bit cause that's precisely why gamer's are not getting MSRP and i'm pretty sure gamer's are the minority which makes us the victim. If I understand you correctly you mean the big mining facility's buying up hundreds and even thousands of GPU's up at a time for no other reason but for more money then I would agree, greed is 0

I don´t like this mining story either. And if these miners decide to sell their cards, they should give it a fair prise. I have seen miners selling their cards for as much as the other people sell theire old cards for. Most people that buy the former mining cards don´t think about that the cards have been abused to a maximum. Not fair not cool. Can´t wait for Nvidia to release mining cards.
I wanted to know how this voting system worked, is the number 1 voted for lot the only one ordered? or does the 2nd lot get ordered too?
P.S.
You really shouldn't mention your mining its been a huge turn off for the gaming community and so its not looked at with any love or support since its forced us (gamers) to use sites like this just to try and get MSRP before mining ruined it all.
That means miners demand it way more than you. They are willing to pay for it to mine. If you are willing to game as much as they are willing to mine, you wouldn't complain. I'm sad that miners grab all the GPUs, but they can pay for it, and crypto is good for the future (IMO) so maybe the economy is more important than my gaming needs.
They are willing to pay because they have a return on investment where a Gamer does not, only depreciation. When a gamer looks for a graphics card he has to evaluate cost vs benefit. The two markets share nothing in common with each other other then they both need Graphics cards and I'm sorry but the demand is to high for a gamers market to support the demand of the miners market. You already see the negative results in the gamers market because the demand is less then the other, one is ignored while the other thrives. The only way to keep both markets intact is to develop a Hash mining card with little to no graphic capabilities but more energy efficient hash mining performance. I don't think you can disagree.
