Title: Old PCs as Miners? Post by: jack_jones on June 19, 2011, 11:55:27 PM So I've got several old PCs lying around my house. They're all from around 2006... and certainly haven't been used for some time now. I'm just curious if anyone has tried to put their old PCs to work using Linux + Diablo. Is it even worth it to consider using old machines? Or is the only practical way to consider mining at this stage in BTC integration to get an entirely new rig?

I'm off to make a thread on solar powered mining rigs :| EDIT: http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=11878.0 Great minds |
