A shitload of potential here, lets hope they make something out of it..
Before whatever that jstenfanop is building makes them irrelevant
I've seen what he's been working on.
Not bad, but i prefer a 6xgpu rig over a 10x rig any day. (Non MXM GPU's)
Yeah yeah, i know, more mobo's, etc.. but if i have a rig down, i don't have 10+ cards down.
Plus, this (pandaminer) is interesting because of the MXM gpu's and their power efficienty,
i believe what jstefanop is doing is basically a pci splitter..?.. based for Regular GPU's.. (correct me if i'm wrong) and so kind of irrelevant in comparison with this project.
More like a custom pcb that has full length PCIe slots to fit regular cards on it. and not just 10, upto 16 if his plans go well.
So its basically like the custom board that pandaminer has, only for regular desktop grade graphics cards. I'd say that's direct competition, but it will most definitely be more expensive.
PS: I haven't seen it but this is my impression of what he is building is, judging by what conversations I have had/read.
