And you shold look at the vega 56 too, if you can get them for good price, you can flash it with vega 64 bios and they are not much worse than vega 64. Look for VEGA threds.

And if TS would like to install some altcoin wallets 120gb will help a lot Title: Re: 2nd rig plans Post by: duketasos on October 10, 2017, 09:08:36 AM thanks for the info mates, never searched anything for server psu so no knowledge there. So maybe another 2x rigs one with vegas and maybe a cheapo one with 6-8x rx560 can find them fairly cheap
