Title: Can I use this as the base for my mining rig? Post by: aMasheep on January 23, 2014, 05:31:25 PM Hello
For the past weeks, I have been looking into mining altcoins. I have put together some rigs, but not really decided what to buy yet. However, I got this old PC I had from back in the days, and I noticed it had a lot of PCIe ports. (or are they PCI?) Anyways, I was wondering if some of you had seen something simalar before, and would know if I could attatch some R9 280X's to these PCIe ports with some raisers(with a molex power input aswell) or if it would just not work? I am installing Ubuntu on it as I write. Screenshot(large inmage): https://i.imgur.com/Bs9lPgz.jpg (https://i.imgur.com/Bs9lPgz.jpg) If some of the old cards are in the way or it's hard to see, tell me. I'll take a new pic :) Thanks for any help/answers. Title: Re: Can I use this as the base for my mining rig?

Nope, graphic cards won't fit in there. Title: Re: Can I use this as the base for my mining rig? Post by: aMasheep on January 24, 2014, 06:04:46 AM From the picture the look like pci, sorry. Mtnminer Ah damn, I forgot about the possibilities of it beeing only pci. Ohwell. It was from back in 2001, so what did I expect... Thanks for the replies btw! :) |
