WTB Radeon HD 6950/6970

[PBTTC]

Hi, I'm looking at crossfire for my current Radeon HD 6950 2GB reference V1 (which can be flash to 6970). So I'm looking for either a 6970 reference (I want to water cool it) or a 6950 2GB reference which I can flash to 6970(unlock shaders) and water cool as well.

Since I need to water cool it because the spacing on my motherboard is tight between the PCI-e slots and I'm not Bill Gates, a reasonable price is preferred considering water blocks and such are not cheap!

Thanks

i have a friend that has a 6950 laying around. hes on the forums. ill get in touch with him and see what he would let it go for...also i dont think people would sell it cheaper just because youre gonna take the fan off and water cool it, but thats just my 2 cents. Ill keep you posted

Thank you, and for the situation of asking for a good price I didn't intend for people to sell it cheaper because I want to water cool it, rather I would appreciate it if they help me out since I'm low on budget and had to find an alternate option instead of buying a new card even though the ladder with stock cooling or large coolers is almost impossible with my current board. I get what you mean though and appreciate your opinion.

Newegg has 2 models of the 6970 in stock right now for only $159 which is pretty good pricing since many people are still trying to get 200 - 250+ for used ones ! ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161413 ) is the best choice since it includes free shipping while the other Sapphire version is $6 for shipping.
