What do you mean by 512 NVidia Cuda GPU cores? What cards are you talking about?

With CPUs you are looking at 3/4Ghash/second and a huge increase in electricity costs. You could replace all that by a handful of ATI cards. You have got the worst hardware for mining.

Hi,

cheers for the response. 512 Cuda GPU cores come from 2x Quadro 4000.

It was just an idea, the units are there already running, I don't have to buy anything its just the time setting it up. These are just PCs that are sitting idle for most of there time. power use age is no problem either, so think of it as free electricity and hardware.


2 Quadros don't change anything. Like I said, you have around 3/4Ghash/s.See here: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison

Just let me tell you that whoever is paying for that electricity will notice the consumption increase. Which means that if you don't have the permission to use the computers for mining you will get caught.
