Title: Mining Hardware question
Post by: venom2049 on January 22, 2014, 04:49:39 AM
Im looking to start mining and im trying to put a computer together to start the process, I wanna put a Quad-gpu crossfire set up using Sapphire Radeon 290x Tri-co GC.
Is this a good set up??
how much mhash am I looking to collect per week with this set up running 24/7??

I would really appreciate any kind of help or advice thanks.

Nico

You won't make any Bitcoins with a GPU setup, you need to buy an ASIC miner.

stay away from butterfly labs.
bad reputation and very late delivery.
don't even think about buying from them.
