Check my MinerPE approach, for single gpus setups is by far the best option, much better than linux. But for multiple gpu rigs the best option is Linux on a pendrive.

Care to elaborate? What is MinerPE? Do you have any stats which will convince us that MinerPE is superior to other approaches?

fair enoght.

pros:
*Easy to setup: 10 minutes from first boot to mining, incluiding overcloking.

*Easy to update software in the farm: (5 minutes to update a up to 252 pcs farm, another 15-30m to reboot afterwards, depending on network speed and pcs)
-Adding Phoenix hashrate mod??? just update the kernel.cl file in server and reboot the farm
-Updating drivers and SDK??? update the files in the server and reboot the farm.

*MSI Afterburner support on every pc in the farm, oc settings are saved and stored.

*VNC Server support on every client on the farm.

*PXE boot, no pendrives or HDDs, just LAN boot.

*Easy to mod, 90% of the work is on batch files, making it trivial to mod or add funtions.

*No problem with corrupted files on client pcs on the farm, so you will never worried again about some client not booting because a file is corrupted.

cons:
*Only 1 VGA is supported.
*Its not Linux (?)

Anyway, check the video.

Cool, I particularly like the network booting. This gives Windows an 'easy and quick to configure' bonus over Linux which I won't deny. If you are setting up even a moderate sized farm and/or are just looking for maximum profit (and your time is valuable) then this could be a good choice.

However, it may well be that one can achieve better MH/s or MH/J in Linux and I think there are a few people on these forums who value the extra MH/s more than the 2-3 hours time configuring the miner. Indeed I doubt I'm alone in actually enjoying the configuration and tweaking.
