Decided I have far too much stuff cluttering up my room so getting rid of as much as I can. Have some parts left over from a bitcoin mining rig I was putting together that was foiled by a DOA motherboard and I CBF'd anymore.

Prefer pickup from Palmerston NT. May be able to negotiate drop off in Palmerston or Darwin.

Unseen hasn't made his mind up yet about the XFX 5870, so that might be available too. I'll give him until Friday and if he still hasn't decided you can have that one too if you want. $600 for 3x5870 and the 5850? Otherwise, yeah, I'll do $450 for the 5850 and 2x 5870s.

Post 12

Anyone interested in the games? I'll do all the PC games (not including the PS3 and Gamecube ones) for "00. Works out at just over $3 per game.

Post 13

hey the 5870 doesnt fit in our computers lol. is the 5850 smaller in size? anything we can work out here or too late?

Post 14

i see imitation has dibs on the 5850 but maybe he'd prefer another 5870 instead?

Post 15

Ahh bugger Pazuzu, sorry to hear that. 5850 is slightly smaller (by an inch or so), but the power plugs are positioned at the back of the card instead of the top, so once those are attached it'll be about the same length.

Is it possible to rearrange hard drives etc so that the card fits or is the space simply too small?

Post 16

yeah 5870 is like a 1/4 inch too big unless the power plugs into the back of it as well then its way too big. And the metal case in which the HDDs slot into are the culprit which cant be removed. it might also be too big for the mother board, ill have to check, cause it looked like the ram slots might be in the way. might just have to get a new case and mobo

Post 17

Alright the 5850 should be 9.5" vs 11.1" for the 5870. Would fit, just depends on whether the power cables can be fit around the drive cage in the case. Could probably fix the problem with some cutters and a little filing :p. If you want to do a swap or something, we can probably sort it out. Fairly confident Imitation would prefer the 5870, though that's up to him.

Ok either way is good.

Post 19

hi wally - still got one of these 5870's?

Post 20

or even a power adapter that goes into the powersupply / port? i need one to get my machine up and running

Post 21

@ Imitation - shot you a PM on OCAU earlier about the cards

@ brownie - I've just offered 2x 5870s + 5850 to Imitation and had decided to keep one to play through Portal 2/Shogun 2, but could reconsider. What sort of adapter do you need? A 2x molex -> 6 pin PCIe? Might have a spare one around.
