picked it up for $599 including the razor mouse and got a $100 rebate that I bought some new shoes with, best gpu deal of 2016 so far

@RIPPEDDRAGON That thing is massive!

Looks great! - Any thoughts on the Geforce 1080X/1070?

Holy crap, 5k stream processors? Make sure you post your hash rate, that’s a monster.
PS: My condolences on the dog, lost the wife 6 weeks ago and the dog keeps me going. Remember we’re pioneers in mining.

@UnklAdM It will be a bit before I get to post some neoscrypt hash rates, they mined ETH for a bit and now are off for the summer due to heat issues in the house. I am running one rig with 6x xfx 280x some days as these cards are 20% more efficient on power than my next best and yes every GPU I use has modded bios.
I ordered a pile of evga PSU cables with the dual connector (6+2 and 6 pin) in one chord. I will be tearing all of these rigs apart here this summer for cleaning and will post some pix. I need these running perfectly by mid September to heat my house again for a 4th winter straight.

Getting ready for another winter here, did some $s to find out how much I was spending last year.
I ran my house on oil for a few months last year, extrapolating the data here were the results:
$750 in oil for just hot water per year
est. $1100 in oil for heating per year$400/month in electric for miners
$1000/month income in ETH/BTC/FTCI only run miners for heat so approx 6 months out of the year
After 1 year no mining - $1850 spent
After 1 year with mining - $2850 earned
Which comes out to $4700 more in my pocket at the end of the year
-
Good luck, we’ll be rooting for you.

@RIPPEDDRAGON Lucky guy :smiley:
here in Germany the calculation would be totally different.

Its looking like this weekend I am going to need to get some cans of air and prep the servers for the cold winter ahead. The weather here is slated to drop from mid 70s and low 80s to mid 60s this weekend with no reversal of that trend in sight. Almost overnight ill go from running ACs to keep the dogs cold during the day to running servers with windows open to cool the house. PIX to come, stay tuned!
Heat transmission may be an issue this year as I have been working on finishing the basement. I might look into running a duct fan and exhausting it into a closet on the 2nd floor for some forced hot air circulation… time will tell.

You are very creative with your hand made aircoindition :D
