750Ti still seem like a really good choice imo.
I guess the prices will go down a bit also now when new cards show up ?
Me myself are buying used 750Ti:s for like 80 bucks.

All my 750Ti:s produce around 7.1-7.3Mhs @Quark superstable.

True.  But when you consider the fact that you can only fit so many cards in one box, looking at performance per card starts to be a bit more important.  One box with 6x 960 should be about the same (probably better) hash/watt as two boxes with 6x 750ti each, but with significantly lower upfront cost.

You have to think outside of the box!  Wink

Hahaha! Nice setup!  How is cooling in open air like that?

The "case" wasn't really the point of my comment though.  CPUs, motherboards and all of the rest of the stuff is mostly irrelevant when it comes to hashrate.  So, IMO, spending money and power on them is wasteful.  I just snagged a http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Q1900M.  Performance is the same on that puny 10W quad-core with a 960 and 750Ti installed as it is in my workstation with 84W i7-4770, 32G RAM, etc.  Now if I can get a hold of some PCIe port multipliers and scale that out to 12 GPUs without performance degradation, I think I'll be onto something...

Cooling is no problem at all!  In the summer I have an oscillating fan blowing on the rig.  In the winter balls to the wall mining!  It is cold in the garage! If you get a port multiplier working please let me know how.  I will definitely add more GPU's.  However I read Windows can only handle 8 GPU's.  Do you know differently?
