Title: When does CUSTOM HARDWARE become HARDWARE?
Post by: Bicknellski on July 02, 2013, 09:19:55 PM
Is it time to relegate Hardware and call "Custom" Hardware what it really is... The HARDWARE.

Agreed.  Why do we have to dig down all the way to Custom Hardware? 

Fix: Create a GPU Mining sub-forum under Hardware and an ASIC sub-forum there too.

So If I go buy a BFL labs miner and stick some LED's on it, is it custom?

Nah you would also need to put some of those go faster stripes you see on chavy (ricer) cars  ;D

On a serious note though FPGA & ASIC hardware goes in the Custom Hardware sub.
GPUs and hardware related to Bitcoin mining but specifically not FPGA/ASIC go in the Hardware sub.
I imagine as GPUs become less popular we will have another move around.

I think its alright for now, what exactly are your problems with the current subs? You don't make it very clear in the OP.
