I'm in the market for 1-3 graphics cards that I can park into my rack to increase my output at minimal costs (while still being somewhat decent on a PPD/watt basis).

I'm thinking GTX 460 or faster, and I'm currently seeing new GTX460's for $100 after MIR, so I'd love to be able to beat that price.

 
do you have a link to the 100$ 460's ? I'm seeing used 460's for 130 on the hardforum. PPD per dollar for gpu's in my book is the gts 450 and gtx 550.

Its a 768mb version and the fan sounds like a hair dryer (I already have one of these, paid about $120 new after MIR back in November). Its in a server rack on the unfinished side of my basement, so the noise doesn't bother me.
 
ahh gotcha 768 means nothing for folding but from a power standpoint the 450 and 550 use far less power and thanks for the link

Wow. That is an awesome deal for that box. I don't have any more room in my rack at this point nor can I activate any more Windows copies right now... if you're willing to part with the 3 GTXs, I have homes for them folding...
