I would have been very interested a week ago for one
maybe in 2 weeks I'll be interested again. doesn't answer your question though.
eBay is showing completed listings of between £150 -£220 for the higher end ones. Irish market is a little different though, most people want to trade you for a box of ice, or €10. I think you'd be doing well to get €200. one sold for €100 on adverts.ie so they're not high demand unfortunately.0 -

Thanks tea, I just keep them then. I had my head turned with the 680s but can't justify the price0 -

999$ price tag though
And likely higher in euros..
it still works out cheapest 1015eu++ for 690 in europe. like i said, i would just get 2x680 instead. . 680 sli was scaling very good on launch day, and i bet it is better with each patch. plus you get 2 proper cooling systems.
i really dont like design of these dual gpus. one side is going to blow all hot air inside, so then your fan chokes on that hot air again. 680 is know to be on hotter side too, that was the price to pay for being so silent.
if you are getting stuff like 6990,590,690 then chances are you are not planning on sli'ing it. i can only imagine a mess with drivers on those yokes...0 -

actually, im cutting it close :P
im transfering my HTPC/server into Thermaltake Element Q.
3xHDD's, and an SSD jammed in there somewhere.
im worried about heat now though.
its going to get this ITX board, a pentium G630 with stock cooler, and a passive HD6450, along with the above 3xHDD's and an SSD
will i need to somehow get a case fan in there?0 -

Bulldozers have been reduced in price since that thread though, haven't they?
€180 for an FX 8150 seems like a decent price for an octocore processor if you have a workflow that fits it. I'd love more cores for streaming TF2.
Although the power consumption of the 8150 is twice its Intel equivalent, which is kind of concerning...0
