Would you settle for dual L5520's that are significantly under your budget?
Contact Cloudshards, tell them a badass person sent you

Hi, we do have some 2xL5639 72GB RAM 1TB HDD 10TB @ 100mbit. $85/month. Informart Dallas.
Just FYI - the used hardware market for the Dual L5639 systems is drying up fast with all of the *miners...
How much currency can you mine on that sort of system per month?
I'd say > $90 :P
fizzyjoe908: no thanks, i am looking for hex cores
serverian: contacted
INIZ: offer expired
black: i would say that's a close estimate ^^
How much more than $90?
At the moment, the highest I'm seeing is about $72-ish per month.
That's considering a 90 KH/s scrypt, 11.2 MH/s sha-256, considering that the systems roughly comparable to a single E5-2620.
Can you please explain?
What currency is that? Litecoin?
There are only so many Dual L5639 systems available on the used market. Because they are so popular with miners, there are fewer and fewer systems available, which is causing a huge spike in prices.
For instance, this system

was available from multiple vendors for around $1099 about 2 weeks ago.
If you mine scrypt I suggest multipool.us
I make a dollar day using 2x ATI Radeon 5770 (120KH/s combined)
Idk how anyone would make any $ using CPUs anymore.
Sorry but still dont get it. Someone can rent 1 Gh/sec for around 10$ (power and card included) using 28nm ASIC cards for SHA mining or can buy a 700Kh/sec 7970 for around 350$ for scrypt mining.
A dual L5639 is a joke compared.
Source?
We're talking about scrypt mining not Bitcoin mining. Bitcoin's algorithm allows ASIC but scrypt mostly uses CPU & GPUs right now. That would be Litecoins, Dogecoins, etc.

and you can do the calculation for a year

Whelp... it'll be unprofitable before I see it.
Probably "cpu mining" only coins like primecoin, quark, protoshares, etc
Based on current prices ,,, assuming they remain ... u can double your money in one year.
@Jupiter, just stop; you're making a fool of yourself.
You might wanna have a look at the shipping Shows me $1,193.62
ok genius of your own imagination. Why don't you use the following calculator with 600GH as input and all other values at default:
https://cex.io/calc
assume bitcoin prices fixed as of today 1 BTC = 800 USD and get one 600 GH Monarch card plus one year hosting for 6192 USD below:
https://products.butterflylabs.com/homepage-new-products/600-gh-bitcoin-mining-card.html
and give us another answer than (20.7*800) / 6192 after 1 year
so this has turned into a crypto mining argument, i should have seen it coming -_-
So btc has to be at around $500 to make sense mining at this point? I know very little about the economics of the actual mini g process so I am eager to learn.

Not an expert but at this point if you have a couple of old AMD cards like 7970 (700 kH) lying around install them to your idle servers/workstations and start mining scrypt based coins to pay the bills ...
Regarding the break even point for SHA-256 based coins the above calculation is very rough as the problem is dynamic and more complicated due to interactions. It depends on new
hardware introduced, miners coming online, demand etc.
In my opinion the whole BS with cryptomining is just a ploy by USA corporations to sell more hardware.
Another way to waste resources for no purpose what so ever ...
Thanks for the information. I can't see myself ever actively mining for bitcoins but it's very surprising to me that people are willing to rent servers that cost $500-$1000/month for mining. I just can't figure out how they are making money.
