    WOW, I think that card would protrude through the front of my case, but the upside is, it would make a handy can holder!

    I think I'll get one once I hear that others have blazed the trail, and hear that they work on the Collatz and MW projects.

    It would be nice if we started seeing more ATI based projects since Boinc now understands ATI cards directly.

    Massive power at lower wattage. What a combination.

    Well I took the plunge and bought an XFX5850 the other day and installed it last night.

    Used the parts I could salvage from the heat exhausted Shuttle SD37P2V2 box, so thats an Intel Q6600 (existing), 4GB DDR2-800 RAM OCZ (existing), 1TB Samsung HDD (existing), Win 7 64 Ultimate (existing), Seasonic 500W p/s (existing - was a spare I had doing nothing), Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3LR mobo (AUD135) and XFX HD5850 GPU (AUD475) and its crunching Collatz now. Let's give it a day or so to get warm and see how much it produces.

    You'll be happy with that puppy. I have 3 of them producing over 300k daily. To bad its not cold at your place, cause its a nice space heater in the winter here. Its 23F here, and I have the window open and the ac running, heh heh.

    Also, download yourself the MSI Afterburner program, and read the below, this card is highly overclockable.
