Title: "New R box" from Rock miner. Post by: spazzdla on June 03, 2015, 03:20:27 PM I know the unit has been out for some time. I am suprised this unit hasn't been bought a lot more. It is PERFECT for the hobby miner. Small enough power draw that if you have a decent powersupply in your computer all you need is the miner..
I am running mine from my comp power supply and using the comp as a controller... It is only the cost of the miner. While it probably won't make you any cash as mining has become a very small profit move it is great to mine as a hobby and very cost and *EDIT* low power draw, only 110 watts not very noticable on your bill. Anyone else have the "new r-box" using their comp power supply to power it and comp to control it? I am tempted to buy another one as back up lol. Title: Re: "New R box" from Rock miner.

They're decent little units, and you're right it's an excellent size/volume/power-draw for hobby desk miners.

Correcting. Title: Re: "New R box" from Rock miner. Post by: spazzdla on June 03, 2015, 06:18:16 PM I was handed a bunch of these busted and I fixed most of 'em but they're just sitting on the shelf.
