2 Nvidia GTX 580's

I have two of the linked GPU's for sale. They are in very good condition and were kept in a cool, smoke free environment. No need to get into the details about the cards since you can just read them for yourself. Reason for selling is because I am upgrading to the 3GB GTX 580's so I can run smoothly at 2560x1600 and therefore I no longer need them.  I always stayed well above 60fps in every game at 1920x1080 with all settings maxed with these cards. These cards are big (3 slots) so make sure you have room in your case. I am not set on the price so feel free to send any reasonable offers.  Card only...no wires or adapters.
Thanks guys.

3 questions:
1.) How many hours do you think you have on them?
2.) Were they ever OC'd beyond listed specs?
3.) What case were/are they in now?
4.) What is the card height from top to bottom in inches?
Was waiting on next gen cards, but these might be tempting.

1.) I have had one of them since September and the other since November. I would say that I put on an average of an hour and a half a day. (sometimes I play for a few hours and then I will go two or three day where I don't play at all). The first card probably has around 150-200 hours on it and the second has around 100-150. This is a rough estimate though

2.) They were OC'ed to 900 mhz on the core from the 810 mhz stock. That was without voltage change. I ran them at that for maybe 3 hours and then returned back to stock. Never saw temps higher than 72C on either of them. Highest temps was playing Serious Sam 3:BFE with everything maxed for a few hours.

3.) I have them in a Fractal R3 on a GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD7. They have one slot in between them which helps with the temps. If you have a full tower I would bet that your temps would be even better than mine.

4.) I will have to post the height later as they are still in my case. I should be getting my new EVGA Hydros today so within the next two days I will get an exact measurement. They take up three PCI slots. This thread on the overclockers forum demonstrates the size and spacing of the card nicely. http://www.overclockers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=672877

Thanks for the link in #4. Dont bother measuring for me, the images in the link gave me enough info. I have a cosmos S case which is plenty big, but the layout of my Rampage II extreme, as it sits in the case, means I am going to be short for space for both cards running them in SLI. The top card will fit, but for the second card, the middle slot is too close to the top card to clear and the bottom slot is too close to the PSU for the bottom card to clear. I was going to keep them on air but they are a bit too tall.

I am holding one for someone at the Feb LAN. I will be selling it for $350. I have one more left that I'll also let go for $350. Thanks

I wish I had my tax return like... yesterday. Then I'd take that other one off your hands. Maybe it'll come in on time, maybe not.
