Looking to build this mining rig for about $2000 USD. My goal is to use three 6970's at first, with potential to add a fourth one. Does this look like a reasonable setup? Any comments/feedback are appreciated.
Thanks.
P.S.
I realize the CPU liquid cooling is likely unnecessary, but figured I may as well keep the unit as cool/quiet as possible.
Specs look good. If this is a dedicated mining rig you do not need an Athlon X2 or 4G of RAM. You can get away with a Sempron processor and 1-2G of RAM. If it is not a dedicated miner and/or you are planning for other uses or post mining usage then it looks good. My dedicated linux miner has 2G of RAM but is barely using over 1G, if you are planning to using windows for mining you probably want 2G.
