I'll recommend you to include the amount of downtime for reasons such as electricity down, Internet loss, miners acting up leading to crashes. Many people who come all enthusiastic to get into mining forget to take this into account. I was one of them. Moreover, check for the stability of the miners that you're going to buy. I'll definitely say that the price is really good for the offer but do your research before buying them and ask if he can produce some invoice for the GPUs which will make your RMA process for any GPU a less hassle in the future.
Thank you very much guys and let me update on this as I will start building my 2 rigs this weekend:
@Rig 1 ( all parts arrived)~~~ $2300-$2500
- 6 RX 580
- Z170 + Celeron + 4gb DDR4 RAM.
- Mintcell PCI risers.
- HP 1200 W server ( + breaker board + adapter+ cable ) and 750 W EVGA G2===> haven't figured out how to properly combine this two, Voskcoin youtube video seems confusing.
- Wood/ Aluminum frame from Home Depot=> Haven't figured out how to build it.
- Will run SM OS through SanDisk 32 GB flash drive.=> Is there any wifi adapter that is compatible with this OS?
@Rig 2 ( parts arrived)~~~ $3000-$3300
- 4 GTX 1080 Hybrid ( from Newegg)=$600 x4= $2400 but I bought it when eBay offered 10% eBay bucks.
- Asrock OC + Pentium sky lake + 8gb ram . MB has four PCI-E so it saves me couple bucks on riser cards.
- 1000w Corsair HX1000i PSU=> I am not sure if this one can handle Quad SLI.
- 512 Sandisk SSD ( Windows) or 32 GB SM OS flash drive.
- EVGA DG-86 case for $150 from Neweggs.
I would love to hear and appreciate for any suggestion to make the most out of these rigs.
Best,
Rothco.
Ps: For the past weeks, I have been buying LTC and ETH from Coinbase, I already gained couple grands from recent breakout.
