I have a box with an internal PSU and fans to plug in 6 GPU's and I can easily get more. The only issue is again it uses a PCIe-->USB-->PCIe interface or PCIe-->USB-->expresscard interface. it already mines in windows but once again i'd like to use it on a simple linux board

dothebeats i resurrected the thread because I'm curious. There was no clear answer at the time because everyone was OOOOOOOOOOOO ASICS111!!! as far as profit I can make one with a setup like this (already am making profit but would like to decrease space & power consumption -->>> decrease heat).

whether or not I get some clear advice I will eventually hook up a rpi or another board to some external cards to mine x11

for example something like this http://www.mfactors.com/pe4h-ec060a-v3-2-pcie-x16-adapter/

thats expensive for my taste but I have something similar. My concern is that whether its a riser, adapter, or enclosure, they all are either pcie,mpcie, or expresscard, which makes it difficult to interface with a barebones linux system or in my case a single board CPU.

if I can get either expresscard or pcie working in SGminer then it would be possible to make something halfway between a powered riser & this enclosure adapter for GPU mining.......in my case x11 mining.

right on guys, got a lot done.

no one is talking about scrypt or ASIC's. I already have a pci-e enclosure with GPU's and am once again tinkering

Well thanks for stating the obvious and also repeating what has been previously said. I'm comfortable with the current level of x11 mining I do and have experience with hardware. I don't need amateur jim kramers to tell me where to put my time and money, I would just like real technical input from someone who knows what they are talking about to help me tinker.

I don't mean to wake the undead here but quite a bit has changed since this post and I was just curious if anyone here could chime in? IIRC you can use riser cards at only x1 speed for mining but maybe someone can explain why that is? If pci-e x1 is good enough for mining wouldn't usb 3.0 work?

that MP1 that was posted may be a hardware solution but if i'm trying to use something like that in a linux mining setup I doubt it would be easy

I can load up both ccminer 0.7 and 1.2 and hash on the myriad-groestl pool but it never accepts any shares and just keeps hashing. Not sure what i'm doing wrong, username pass and command line seem okay?

any advice would be appreciated
