Yes if slush's pool would happen to go down you want at minimum a second pool in there for fail over purposes so you are not wasting electricity and potential btc while you wait for it to come up.

As far as luck that's typically all it would be I had very good results mining slush when I started months back, but slush's pool works out over  the long run, but "most" pools will give you similar results over an extended period!

I gave the wrong file name for guiminer those lines of code that need replaced are in this file:

phatk.cl

NOT poclbm.cl

CCGs + MTG singles (Mtg, Pokemon, yu gi oh), RPGs (pathfinder, D&D, white wolf, shadowrun), Miniature Games (Warhammer, heroclix, war machine).

This is 1 of 3 things causing a kernel error:

1. Defective hardware - let's assume the hardware is good
2. Driver problem - what driver and sdk are you using
3.  May need to do the following:

Using GUIminer, locate poclbm.cl and simply replace

#ifdef BFI_INT
   #define Ch(x, y, z) amd_bytealign(x, y, z)
#else
   #define Ch(x, y, z) bitselect(z, y, x)
#endif


with

#define Ch(x, y, z) bitselect(z, y, x)

No specific services like this exist that I know of.  There are a few members on the forum that "hack" existing gear similar to what you stated.

If this is something that really interests you do a search on the "WASP" Project.  It is a controller/backplane that allows you to upgrade any generation of chips by purchasing a new board and popping it into a slot without having to completely replace the entire miner every time.

I just wanted to jump back in this thread and say thanks to everyone and this is encouraging!  A newbie that didn't understand, the community came to help and OP learned a little and seems to be gaining a grasp on everything at a basic level.

Just my input as well Alt coin prices are falling pretty hard over the past few weeks as 1Mh/s (1000Kh/s) in scrypt is earning under .006 per 24 hours so please consider alt coin markets as well when making your calculations.

I've used DriveSavers in the past.  They have a facility where they are able to do platter level recovery.  It is expensive, but the time I needed it it was worth it.  They recovered 100% of my data, immediately put the files I told them were critical on an ftp site and then shipped me the recovered data at the time was on DVDs.

Weekend up make an offer for the whole package or individual rigs motivated to sell as it's going towards opening a game store in my local town!

More info is needed:

What Video Card, What drivers, what OS, What SDK.

In Guiminer click view and show console and see what the error says in there.

This sounds like a driver problem to me, but still need information.

You can technically do minimal and "call" it a data center, but there are tier classifications of data centers pertaining to redundancy and uptime.

There are also considerations above what has been mentioned above of said facility to withstand natural disasters.  I was involved in a DC that was built that was not classified as Tier 4 because they chose to put reinforced windows that were smaller than 1' wide for aesthetics so visitors could see in etc., but they said because the reinforced windows could not sustain an impact from a telephone pole traveling at tornado speeds they could not classify it as a top tier data center.

You've misunderstood or are trolling:

the above computer system is Mh/s for mining the scrypt algorithm not SHA256 BTC

Never trust and Atom.......................They make up everything!

Also don't forget this is not linear.  With each difficulty increase every 10-14ish days the same amount of hash will gain less and less proportional to the % increase in difficulty.

Do you already own all this hardware?
4 7970s - around 740Kh/s each
2 6990s - around 800-850Kh/s each

Asus M5A97 r2.0 - only has 4 PCIe slots so I'm confused about what you are planning?

If this is going to be used for mining only this would be better off and more cost effective in an open air frame w/ fans and not worry about water cooling.  SSDs are overkill for mining machines and the dvd drive would only be used for the OS install IF you wanted a hard drive at all and didn't boot BAMT or something similar from a 2-4 gig usb jump drive.

1200 watt power supply may also be pushing it on hoping for it to push 4 cards and the components.

Lastly the r9 series cards 270, 280, 290, have since outdated the 7900 series cards.  the r9 280/280x are about the same cost as the 7970 with a higher hashrate.

I don't have it in front of me to tell you where, but cgwatcher has an option to actually restart the computer itself not just cgminer.

Sidehack can you confirm these are yours?

This is my up for the day.

What about interest in this configuration:

Rig 1 - Take 2 6870s from Rig 2 and a 800 watt power supply making Rig 1 4 vid cards, 2 PSUs, running around 1.4Mh/s (1 7850 1 6950/6970 2 6870) - $700 in BTC at coinbase/preev rate.
Rig 2 - Take 2 5830s from other rigs making rig 2 around 900Kh/s to 1Mh/s (1 5850 2 5830) - $350 BTC at coinbase/preev rate.

Rigs 3/4 - I would move the 6790, 6850, 6870 (700Kh/s to 800Kh/s) remaining to 1 single rig and either sell it cheap around $150 or run it until it is no longer profitable.
