Any idea how to get just the cards by themselves. I think a 3 month warranty is reasonable, miners tend to change clock and power settings, if I were a gpu manufacturer I would not want to give a long warranty to miners either. I've seen hardware die in the first few weeks and I've seen it die when it gets old but I rarely see it die in between if it hasn't been abused.

So I've never mined coins before. Was under the impression that it was all mined on proprietary asic out of china with dirty cheap coal power. I have a connection with a manufacturing company with an industrial power source that has an incremental power cost of ~$0.03/kwh during non peak times, 50 Mbps fiber internet (can get up to 10 gbps) and is willing to give me some space for mining so long as I don't bump up there peak power at all. (Most of there power bill is this huge ass gay fee based on the highest 15 minutes of usage in the month.) They are willing to let me do this for free as a proof of concept basis, if it looks good they would be willing to invest like $25k on hardware and after the $25k is payed back they would split the profits 50/50 (I keep everything running and manage it, they provide free rent for the gear and power costs ($0.03/kwh) would come off the top, upgrading/additional hardware would be split evenly). Is this like one of those things I should jump on or is it something I'd be wasting my time and money with. How cheap does power have to get to make a profit mining coins? At first I would just run it during non business hours but with some more monitoring I could probably determine just when those 15 minute peaks are and cut out around them.
