If you want open cases your best bet is to just buy a bunch of garage shelves locally or if you want specifically designed aluminium frames then you can also order the parts locally cut to whatever sizes you want them with corner/elbow elements.

Or if you really want to done it cheaply, just get some thin wood (batten?/slat?) and build it yourself.

If you want 4U cases designed for mining I recommend flex design: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1921659

They're the cheapest and have a very sturdy design but they're more loud.

You can only earn as much as you invest and you should probably do your own research.

Pick one. Not that I care for Eth but come on, so much money only to rename a previously existing, even old project trying to compete with Eth?

Exactly this.

Practically the same reason I'm using 3x4mm² (~6 AWG) cables per 16A breaker for mining rigs. Ain't no kill like overkill.

Turning thin wires into space heaters with massive voltage drop is no fun.

Bought 2 of these and I'm very happy with them. The package was busted a bit and the cases endured some scratches but they are super sturdy and well designed.

I got about the same temps as cards in frames with plenty of space between them (~20 cm) but the ones in the cases achieved those temps with about 20% less fan speed. And these were 1080 Ti AORUS cards which are super wide and their cooling is not designed to be used in racks (they push air perpendicular to the card and not lengthwise).

Unfortunately, with the 3 fans I have put in the case (EEC0381B1-0000-G99) these are too loud for my liking and since I have plenty of open space I'll be sticking with open frames for now.

If I were to ramp up mining or if sound wouldn't matter I'd be definitely going with these cases.

And compared to other similar cases these are the cheapest.

Way, way overpriced compared to flex design: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1921659

This doesn't include the fans, grills and risers but even then it's a much better value proposition.

Why not just split the power between several smaller circuit breakers, like 16A?

That's way cheaper than a big PDU especially if you're not interested in PDU features.

It's likely something touching a fan a bit. Or a piece of tape or something flapping in the wind.

GPU mining Scrypt is like trying to win an F1 race with a bicycle.

SHA-256 (Bitcoin), Scrypt, X11, Quark, Qubit and a few others have mining specific hardware designed which is much much faster for much less electricity making it pointless to GPU mine.

Try mining Zcash or something like that.

I can't see the options for 'none' or 'all of these are scams'.

Put pause at the end of your bat file in a new line so that if ccminer quits the bat file doesn't close until you press a key.

Way to be anal about something so insignificant and create a thread about it but whatever floats your boat I guess.

Since everybody knows what people mean by saying stuff like "I reached my ROI" it's not going to change anytime soon.

Nah, you want some easy money.

I use the provided 2 x 6 pin into 1 x 8 pin 'Y' cable with the cards.

But then again my cards are heavily power limited (150 watts instead of 300).

8-pin is rated at 150 watts and 6-pin is rated at 75 watts so on paper, limiting to 225 watts should be completely fine.

I wouldn't try it on a multi rail PSU though.

You can't even create a simple token yet you want people to give you money?

This is walletbuilders all over again.

No, Dash will be Dash and DigiByte will be DigiByte.

Coins are not replacing each other.

Hahh! Finally a picture I can actually really see 8+8 cables!

It seems the EVGA SuperNOVA models doesn't have 8+8 cables but other models do.

Weird, really.

I'm curious if the cables for the 1000GQ are interchangeable with the SuperNOVA models. It would be silly if it wouldn't but who knows, time to ask EVGA again.

When did Poloniex upgraded from being a simple exchange to an all powerful agency that can seize homes anywhere on Earth? /s



Because they're too busy seizing castles, obviously
