RE: First post, first Gridcoin.
Hey applepiie,
I know that old hardware can be a good hardware. As the HD7970 shows literally that.
I crunched Milkyway@home for that amount of time but it got too hot in my room and too loud because of that "stupid" fan. As I still live with my parents, I can't really have a hot and loud room all the time.
As I wrote, I want to crunch again, when I'm living in my own apartment and can (almost) be as loud as I want to.
Where do you live, if you don't mind that I ask that question?
I'm from Switzerland, German speaking part :) I live in a shared flat with my girlfriend in one room. She has to suffer badly because of my crunching. My rig is humming in the background all day long and the window is always slightly open to keep the temperatures perfect (except in summer, then its way too hot in here...).
You have to think about your hot room in a positive manner. Firstly, you don't have to heat your room anymore and secondly every time you sweat a drop and suffer in your bed at night because it is so hot, you know you do it for science and that is pretty cool 😏

That should probably be on a shirt...
Well, there are of course some "disadvantages" :D
Have a look at ebay-kleinanzeigen.de there are some HD7970. It's a German site, some people might send the package (if you pay for shipping) to switzerland :)
Otherwise, eBay.de is a place too.
I might look into Germany... was looking in Switzerland only and our used PC-Parts market is rather small
