This will give you ~800Mhashes/s. If you have enough money to spend on something like this, just remember that what you build is resaleable.

For short term gain, go into stock mode. If you have faith in the market and for massive longterm gain, mine.

Let's post some tips that all newbs should know before wasting money.

1. Using your CPU uses at least 10 times more energy than a GPU for the same amount of hashes.

I forgot to mention that OP is the kind of person that leads to market crashes.

Miners dont have to worry if they have a resaleable computer.

Powerful system indeed, but that is the worst rig you can possibly use for bitmining.

First 11 posters get 0.001 bitcoins. If you dont give me an address, you get no bitcoins.

Prolexic costs around $400 - $1000 a month. Far cheaper than the $100,000 a year that was 6 years ago.

114  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: explaining the jump in hashrate? on: June 23, 2011, 09:38:30 AM
People have built their mining rigs, fortunately the video card market has dried up and hashrate growth should come to a halt.

A cyberspace pirate saw your transaction and hijacked it.

You could save yourself $100 and increase cooling by skipping the case completely and letting the system run open-air.  I believe one guy on these forums used zip-ties to suspend his GPUs above his motherboard, connecting them to a cheap, wire shoe rack.  Sure, it's not pretty, but it is efficient, economical, and will run cooler.

I chose a case because I want to have the option to resale the rig to anyone very quickly in case the market crashes. As for cooling, you are right about going no case at all, you have no heat build-up. And as for case cooling, that case I chose is horrible for GPU cooling. I ordered it and realized that it does not have a spot for a dedicated GPU fan. So, I am going to use my current case which is an antec 1200(http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129100) and it will be capable of pushing out all that heat. I am not a fan of going caseless, because over a shorter period of time, dust will build up onto your CPU and especially GPU heatsink making maintainance sort of a headache. But hey, there are pros and cons, it's a personal choice.

Forgot to add ram to that wishlist. You probably wouldnt need any if you had some laying around.

did you calculate with changing difficulty? because i think 44 days is a bit fast

Oops, my new estimate is about 80 days based on the fact that more and more power
is being added to the network. I am hoping that difficulty growth tapers as the video
card market dries up.
