I wouldn't even mess with the custom *nix distros if you have under 5 or fewer HD7xxx cards that can use the older drivers.
Win7 x64 + 12.6 Cats + 5 HD7xxx cards = Very good chance you'll get them up and running within an hour.
I've got 2 5 card 7950 boxes in Win7 x64 using the 12.6 Cats and got them both up and running very fast.
Thanks, that was my plan for today. Half say no Windows and say use windows.... BAMT works great on all of my rigs though.

To begin, I currently have a small 8.5MH/s farm of my own up and running smoothly, so I would like to think that I know what I am doing. However, I have been asked to build a mining rig where the parts had been purchased in December, but yet was still in boxes. Here is the list of equipment that I am working with: - AMD FX 4300
- Asrock Extreme 4
- 8GB of Ram
- Silverstone 1500w PSU
- Corsair AX1200i
- 3 - Sapphire 7970 Vapor-X 3GB Edition
- 2- Sapphire 7970 Vapor-X 6GB Edition (Horrible cards for mining)
I had three cards running on Saturday at ~700, got the extra PSU, added the 2 extra cards and PSU now I am having trouble getting the rig to boot. I have tried BAMT 1.3, 1.4; Xubuntu (Saucy Salamander) using these steps ( http://rumorscity.com/2013/12/08/headless-linux-litecoin-miner-setup/). Everything is great until Step 5, XUbuntu detects all 5 cards before I do "sudo reboot" but it won't reboot back into XUbuntu, just hangs on a black screen. I have tried both a flash drive and hard drive. Frustrated last night, I left it sitting there just in case my patience is not what is was earlier yesterday. BAMT also hangs on a black screen, however I can RDP into the machine, but detects no GPU's. I hate to use Windows, but that may be my only option on this machine, working on that today after work. Any help will be greatly appreciated, I honestly feel defeated; this rig just won't cooperate with me. If you have any questions, please let me know. Thanks for your help!

Hell of a lot nicer looking than mine! What 4U Case is that?
Thanks. This is custom built in a factory ; right now it's prototyping. We plan to produce small series (~100), for our data center. If there is interest, I can sell some, but shipping from France could be a problem (expensive) Eric Well they look awesome! I might be stripping my 4u cases this weekend then...

Is it possible to ship these overnight?
If you'll pay the difference between standard shipping and overnight than you can get it shipped any way you want PM'd

That is nice! Those 3 fans provide enough airflow when it's all closed up and in a rack? Are you making those to sell? How much did it cost you?
It's too early to tell, but it looks like airflow is enough. I'll know more when I'll have 10 cases in one bay Prototyping is very expensive, but I plan to make 100 pieces so at then end it should cost ~150€. I'm not doing it primilary to sell, I have the need to build clean cases for data center hosting. If you are really interested I could sell of course, but international shipping would be quite expensive (I'm in France). Eric Nice work Eric - I work in a datacenter, and having professional looking machines in our racks is very important. Best of luck to you! Obviously you don't work in my datacenter. LOL!

I'm hoping someone here can help me with my four cubes. I have had nothing but problems since I got them. They are running in a data center with the proxy pointed to Ghash. Two of the four cubes are running on a AX1200i because anymore than that the PSU shuts off-these will stay running One is running on a CX750M, this one will stop running and require a hard reset once every 12 hours. One is running on a EVGA 750B, this one didn't last longer than 3 hours last night. I have tried pretty much everything I can think of: -Rearranging the cards inside the Cube; -There is no damage and the cards have no X's -They were working from the seller perfectly, but once shipped to me they start to cut out; -Heatsinks have been tightened, and the cards have been placed in the slots; -Tried the capacitor trick; -Tried new fuses. If anyone has some insight it would be greatly appreciated, and possible tips. Thanks! What do you mean by cutout? They hard power off, they aren't accessible via network, they are accessible but stop mining? If three are connected to the 1200, the PSU Shuts off completely. The two CUBES on a separate PSU become inaccessible via network, stop mining, no status light, and only the top green light is on.

You have two cubes on the AX1200i that remain running perfectly, correct?
Swap the other two cubes with the ones on the AZ1200i. If the ones on the 1200W PSU stay happy, it's PSU issues. If not, it's cube issues.
Alright, I will do that next trip to the DC. What kind of issues could the cube be having? I'm getting no X's when running only O's. Thanks!!

I have tried to trouble shoot for days but I can't seem to get to my cubes settings page.
Here is a shot of the router settings:
Here is a picture of the usual error I see when I try to connect:
Here is a picture of a screen I sometimes come across but nothing else loads:
The status light clicks on and stays solid red The SB Pwr and Pwr lights are lit and solid green The Ethernet lights are solid orange and flickering green.
I'm using a Lepa N500 5ooW power supply.
I'm pretty sure I'm just missing something small but I'm pretty new to this so if you know what I did wrong and can explain like I'm 5 it would be appreciated.
Have you solved this yet? If not, I'm assuming it has to do with your number of users allowed. I had to change my number of users to incorporate the .254 IP address. Hope that helps...
