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.
Wtf are you talking about. It's not $800 per gpu. It's $800 period ($800 / 12 = $66 per gpu PLUS GPU COST). Come on man, stop trolling us with your bullshit offer. Your pricing is beyond absurd, it's beyond criminal.. It's a joke.. No one will buy this.. I'm not trying to troll you but I do need the posts so I can get up to legendary status (another 200 or so posts to go! So, I'll continue arguing and proving you wrong all day if you want.)
Previously when I did mine with GPUs, I could get the price per gpu for the system down to around $35-40. That's $35-$40/GPU + GPU COST.
AND, these servers (if you get the E7-4860) would make around $125/mo cpu mining. Electrical cost for 12 gpus + system is around $205/mo at $0.10/KWH. Meaning, the CPU itself will pay for over half the electrical costs for the entire system including cpus.
