Hi - I'm "88bitcoins". About to clear a space to set up my new rig. Excited and my motherboard is very sharp looking.

Was mining bitcoins on my Macbook (A1278) laptop (cpu) just for fun back when they were 25 cents, then blew it all on a silly bet.

Back then I just got a kick out of counting the number of "Yays" I got a day.

Coulda-woulda-shoulda, but life got in the way and it's still better late than never.

Not phased by either the volatility, the haters, or the fact that I waited so long to take real action.

Just quickly, my new rig includes Asrock M3A770DE motherboard with two Sapphire 5830 graphics cards and a Rosewill power supply. It's modest and pretty much all I could afford at the moment. Thought I'd be able to re-appropriate more components or at least a case from one of the older towers I have lying around, but no such luck. Oh well.

Gotta go to put it together now. Unfortunately clearing a space for it while my place is in a state of chaotic renovation is going to take as long or longer than getting the rig up and running.

later...
