Title: Re: making old pc to miner Post by: John (John K.) on March 18, 2012, 07:33:32 AM Probably get one with the molex power as 7970's suck a lot of power. You might end up with a burnt MB if the power isn't enough.

When dealing with $100s in high end computer hardware, I think that $8 for an extender isn't a problem if it is a higher quality.
