Re: I have a crappy mining rig, should I use it this winter?

I stopped mining, and frankly kind of forgot about bitcoin for almost 2 years, but now that I'm done school I can afford to focus on it again.  My rig just has 2 5830's, so I'm not actually going to be mining much at all.  But my apartment is electrically heated anyways.  So what I'm trying to figure out is the wear and tear on my rig (which I do use as a general purpose PC) worth the very small amount I'll be mining, or should I just stick with 100% my actually electrical heating (my rig won't completely heat my place, but it will help)

Thanks for your thoughts.


computer heating is a lot nicer than the electric heaters as it heats more evenly Smiley

waste of electricity and good hardware.

he has all electric heating so it wont use any more electric and he doesn't have to set them at 100% even set at 50% mining altcoins would make a couple of USD a week

electric heating =/= electric heating + gpus running
