Re: [ANN] cudaMiner & ccMiner CUDA based mining applications [Windows/Linux/MacOSX]
Shhh I neeeed it :p
I'm waiting for the new 8 core 16 thread i7's to come out. CPU, mb, ddr4 memory. Roughly $1700 or so
My current Xeon is going as a spare so the website will go on that. Plus its an excuse to get a second PC set up. I also need to sort out my new displays to code properly. Coding on less then 3 screens sucks. And I only have 1 right now
So yes, it will be my new toy haha. I have a list of water cooling fittings that are going to cost $500 or more just to fit everything again lmao
Oh, I see. Been there, done that. I'm waiting for the new 8 core 16 thread i7's to come out. CPU, mb, ddr4 memory. Roughly $1700 or so

Made out alive, though wasted a lot of money in the process. It's just consumer-grade hardware does surprisingly well these days, a simple AMD FX-8350 gives all the power that vast majority of hobbyists need, supports up to 32GB of ECC RAM, and there's enough 990FX boards out there that work great as hypervisors with Xen/Vmware.. There's also a lot of previous gen Xeons on ebay, 6 core / 12 threads 1366 cpus go for like less than $150 and are still very capable. One can build a very powerful server for under $1k and in real-life applications most would never even notice the difference in performance compared to the latest/greatest top xeon. Well, if you want that latest stuff and can afford it then sure. For me it's just never worth it, I do like to geek out and play with new toys, but most fun is gone in like a week after the purchase and then I start to feel like shit, realizing that I could get all the performance I needed for a fraction of the price paid.
AMD is to me simply too power hungry, i had a top of the line FX not long back and sent it back due to power usage.
I need to buy a second machine anyway as my partner keeps stealing mine
, and even if i get last gen (same as i have now) 6 core xeons, with a proper mb, cpu, new memory etc. i am still looking at a good chunk of money.Both machines are going to be high end gaming machines so the $4k was budgeting in 4 displays, another full system, plus a 780 Hydro Copper to go with my current 780 hydro copper, please another 750Ti, plus watercooling fittings.
This is the expense list (in the UK so inflated prices)
Displays: 4 x VN279QLB = 2.86BTC
EVGA 780 Hydro Copper = 1.42BTC
Watercooling Fittings = 0.43BTC
CPU: 1.714BTC
MB: 0.86BTC
Memory (16GB): 0.46BTC
Case: 0.37BTC
PSU: 0.26BTC
SSD: 0.514BTC
Total: 8.88BTC xD or 0.05BTC each if 178 people donate?
