LOL, Really? Funny,

First...

WhatToMine has it at $19.35/day and only using 1680W.
Goliath will make $41.90/day on Nicehash (just cryptonight) @ ~4kW
and $114.78/day on neoscript

Second, show us the system and where to get it as well as the stats please? I'll take 10 of them.

Sure, I posted it in another thread. Just buy used DL580 G7s. They have 12 PCI-E slots (with the PCI-E extension board) and typically come with 4x 1200W PSUs. Just buy whatever 12 video cards you want, 12 risers, build a little rig to hold the gpus for $10, and the PSU adapters so you get the 8 pin output (or go with the break out board that allows you to wire in). $800 +/- $200 (depending on whats on ebay at the time) + cost of GPUs. They have 4x 10 core processors (typically, some of the servers on ebay have older 8 core processors).

Can buy everything you need except the GPUs on ebay. Hell, you could buy the GPUs there too but I don't know if I'd trust them. I found some pretty good deals on used tesla equipment too (since you're a nvidia fan).

And there it is. ~$800 per GPU ($19,200)

Plus, 4 MB/CPU/RAM/SSD = increased power usage for less profit.

You have to know how to build and configure it, a lot of people do not or do not want to.

If you know your stuff, sure you can shop around and throw something together for a little less that what we would charge (using retail prices) even.

But you would not have overhead for employees, packaging and shipping either.

So why be so hard? We are not some China RIG/ASIC builder that will rape you on price and no deliver for long periods of time.

It's a good, solid, well performing system that is flexible and easy to use. You un-box, hookup power, plug in Ethernet, set you Nicehash settings and make money for years. It is perfect for people that do not know how or want to take the time and hassle of building one. Allot goes into obtaining a stable 24 GPU's on a single MB system.

So, Can you find cheaper parts and make it work sure. You deal with he headaches, that saves you money. You do not have to pay anyone to do it. You do not have to have custom packing boxes and internal foam packing material and you don't have to ship to yourself.

I do not believe you were honest or fair about my pricing versus what you get and what you have to put in to it. The company itself on the first batch will barely make anything after all the costs. But it could build our reputation with the mining community - and that is worth much more (for first batch) IMHO.
