Currently what I have at my place:

12 x EVGA NVIDIA 1070 Ti FTW2
52 x EVGA NVIDIA 1080 Ti FTW3
12 x XFX R9 390
36 x Sapphire R9 Fury
24 x R9 380
89 x RX 480
7 x RX 580
TOTAL OF 232 x GPU's at my place.


Those RX 480s are pretty much the dream GPUs. How long have you been mining for? Congratulations you probably don't have to work a regular job for the rest of your life by now eh.

I would also love to know why you are still mining with power hungry R9 Furys. Is electricity so cheap at your location that they still give you a decent profit (for all the risk vs resale value)?

Yes, the R9 Fury's are VERY power hungry.  The best price to power ratio with Fury's and a BIOS Mod is ZEC at approximately 420 Sol's each and 130 Watts.  Currently mining ETH at 32 MH/s each card.  Not sure how many watts.  I'm sure I could make them hash faster.  Took them back to factory BIOS with ETH.  Thinking about using AMD software to make them more power efficient.  I'm holding on to them as long as they keep making me money.  Smiley

I bought most all of my 480's the first couple of months they came out.  They've ROI'ed at least 3 times over.  The price I paid for those 480 8GB's was literally half of what most people paid for their 580 8GB's.  I paid $145 each for the R9 380 4GB's back in May and June, 2016.  They ROI-ed 3 times over.  I had 78 x R9 380's at one time.  Along with a lot of Fury's and R9 390's.  I've had the NVIDIA's since July and August for some and the remainder in December.  I paid between $600 and $820 for most every EVGA 1080 Ti I have.  They were going for $1,200 "Used" quite easily a few months back.

I haven't worked a regular job in a long time.
