I am looking to get into mining but not in a big way. I just want to buy one or two GPUs and put into my existing computer. I figure if nothing else I can SLI them together for gaming...
The perfect reason to mine with a gpu or two.
And why it is never too late to start mining for a gamer.
Thanks for the encouragement! From the looks of things around here most people are hostile to new miners. While I know I missed the boat so to speak, I am only doing it as a hobby, and as you said I can game with the cards as well.
I am looking to put them in a open air frame though, as running inside my PC case is quite warm even with extra fans. Does anyone else run their gaming PC in an open air design, or run a dual gaming mining rig?
Ohh you havent seen hostile yet lol. It can get pretty ruff on here from time to time. Anyway. Do your own research. Its definitely profitable to be mining at least in the USA. Most are going to say no if they live in high power $ area or they trying to protect their pc of the pie.
As far as your rig goes. Lookup building a rig out of milk crate. Yea it doesnt look very pretty but it will cool vastly better. Or look into spending some money and buy a open air pc case. They can be found more and more nowadays. With a little work you can build a really nice one for cheap.
