Now waiting for the 2x HD7970 cards
Now waiting for the 2x HD7970 cards
that's a good design, I am thinking something like this, my previous design isn't that stable for the "second floor" cars.
After a couple of weeks of no mining, I'm back. Sold off a few parts and got an electrician to install some more outlets in my basement (been procrastinating 6+ years for this). Pardon the poor lighting - that is next in my to-do list. 
Just wondering what temp do you get with that 480 rad?
I am planning to water cool my 3 7950 rig with a 360 rad + Koolance 450 pump
I'm not sure the rad is big enough.

I have them hooked up to two 480 rads. My temps are 36°C, 38°C, and 39°C respectively. The lonely 7950 on the end is 41°C (not half bad considering).
impressive, it seems I need more rad or adjust my expectation
I'll be happy if I can keep the temp below 70 during the summer with one 360 rad.

Nice rig, I am trying to water cool my miner, but 4 VGA water blocks are really pricey, still thinking
Are you using 2 * 240 rad in the loop?
Yes, the top rad is a thin Blackice GT (all I could fit up there) and the front is an XSPC RX240. Cards run at about 60c.
nice, nice, I finally ordered 3 EK universal GPU water blocks and a Koolance 450 pump for my 7950s, but I guess I will need more rad, one 360 maybe not enough for the summer
Needed a case for one of my miners, so built this: celeron + asus mobo,c70 case, 7970, 3x 5850 and a bfl single.
what kind of temp you got with this layout? Will they get too hot?
At -5'C outside temp:
GPU 0: 72.0C 3281RPM
GPU 1: 73.0C 2554RPM
GPU 2: 72.5C 2027RPM
GPU 3: 73.5C 1693RPM
BFL 0: 32.6C
No fans in the side door, but I will have those installed by the summer (or more likely, have this running at a datacenter).
Coz when I am mining ltc, the "naked" rig stays at 70 with a 20 inch fan blowing....

Did you build that little cart?
a spare IKEA little coffee table
a unused IKEA table leg
4 unused wheels from IKEA furniture
a pair of bracket from Dollarama
and I put them together,
Not all of those Molex to PCIe converters are made of the same caliber parts - some use crappy/cheap 22AWG wires and other use thicker 18AWG wires. If you're trying to power 5970/6990/7970s with those cheaper 22AWG wired ones you'll have a fire. If you're running a "lowly" 7770 that pulls most of the power off the board you should be OK even with the thinner 22AWG.
The ones that came with the Sapphire 6870s and 6950s I bought have all been decent and not one has given me problems. Of course I don't pack my rigs past 4 cards per board so they probably pull less through the PCIe power (I'm not sure how the power is distributed).
NEVER use a SATA to PCIe connector - don't know who the hell thought of that idea but that is just asking for a problem since the SATA connectors were never designed to deliver that much power.

I found a 2x4 Pin Molex to 6-pin connector with 18 AWG wire. I guess that's from my old 3850, is it enough to support a 7850? given all my 6-pins connectors are used up by 3 7950.
Just learned, the smaller the AWG, the better for "heavier" duty ?

How soon after purchasing a miner do we actually start mining (receiving payments)? With Genesis Mining it was almost 6 months after purchase and I'm not looking to wait that long
Thank you for this report on your experience with bounty campaigns. I have had similar experience with bounties such as Binance and others. I find that bounties with smaller pools of participants are much more rewarding
Bounty campaigns will never make you rich. They only serve to promote the ICO that they pertain to. If the reward actually is big enough for you to earn thousands of dollars, then everyone else was able to make thousands too and you will all be dumping on the exchange and killing the price of the coin.
Choose a bounty that flies under the radar. Many bounties can attract a lot of attention, and the more attention it has, the less you will receive proportionally. In order to receive the most for your efforts, go for lesser-known bounties
There is no surefire method except storing coins offline. Anything that is connected to the internet is vulnerable, so it's best to go with hardware wallets or paper wallets to protect your coins.
I think June is a decent prediction since it will be the month in which a lot of very hyped mainnets will be launching such as EOS. We should see an influx of money as the excitement and interest around crypto increases again.
I make sure to read enough to understand the actual value of the project, the legitimacy of their team/advisors, and the scarcity of the coin. The price of the coin needs to be reasonable in relation to the total supply.
