Title: Simple rig challenge (Single GPU)
Post by: Coin_Joiner on November 07, 2017, 02:49:31 PM
Hi all,

for most people an elaborate mining rig is too expensive. In addition most people don't have a comprehensive grasp on this subject/how to tweak the hell out of your hardware...So why not build an every man's rig, just like Ford did with cars?  ;D

Thats why I have the following challenge: what components would you use to build a single gpu mining rig for 24/7 operation? The following groundrules apply:

- Keep build cost to a minimum (how cheap can you build?  ;D)
- Keep operational cost to a minimum (how much would your rig cost annually in terms of electricity?)
- Minimum probable hash rate of 500H/s (to keep mining interesting  ;))
- No flashing of GPU card (factory OC's are allowed)
- You can use any and all components currently available on the market

I hope to see some very creative builds. Share your build according to the following guidelines:

1. Specify hardware (motherboard, cpu, ram, hd, power supply and gpu)
2. Specify OS (any and all are allowed)
3. Specify mining software/coins you would mine
4. Specify probable hash rate/yield

I wonder what kind of creative/exotic builds people can come up with?
