Hey guys, I'm pleased to join 'bitcointalk' community

I'm looking forward to build my first mining rig, currently looking at 4x1060s or 4x1070s, but the issue is, that I have quite small flat, so I'm thinking to keep my rig in a living room.
My concern is, how loud these mining rigs are, it's quite difficult to determine that watching youtube videos. I don't mind some noise, but don't really want to bother my girlfriend too much with another crazy idea Cheesy

I have a couple of rigs based on the 1060's now and if you run them at power limit 65 or so the fans hardly spin and the rig is very quiet. You could easily keep them in a living room as the noise would be no more than maybe a small room fan running on the low speed setting.

I would also recommend using a SSD drive, as when I first started mining I tried to reuse some old HDDs I had laying around and the constant clicking of the heads moving is actually a lot more irritating than that of the cooling fans. This will be especially true since you and your girlfriend are going to be in close proximity to the rigs much of the day.
