^ righto, yeah it operates as 1x speed PCIE, which is not optimal for gaming, but it will run monitors

You can, yes, have a friend using a couple of them on 16x slots and it works fine. Planning on ordering some when I get more cards too. Here is the one he uses: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=181285248039

Hey everyone,

New to posting here, but have been mining for a while. I originally started mining with 2 AMD 5750's in 2010 but stopped after about a month thinking it wasn't worth the electricity cost. At the time I had accumulated about 7$ worth of Bitcoin, which is completely lost Sad. Since I've overwritten the hard drive and have no idea what pool I was even mining on. I pretty much abandoned ship without any care for my 7$ back then. I'm very sad about that now as that's quite a few 100's of dollars today.

Now I'm coming back with a little revenge, and not going to make the same mistake twice!  I've got about 5.7Ghs worth of ASIC miners for SHA-256 pools that I put to use, and about 1250 KH/s worth of scrypt mining power at my disposable. I'm trying to come out ahead and make some extra money to help secure my future, as I've never been a rich person. I'll leave the rest of the personal details out as they probably don't matter all that much to most people and I prefer to be mostly anonymous in the internet world. I've always loved computers and everything about them - which helped me land a job in the IT field. Crypto feels very natural to me already and I'm already trading and buying/selling between friends with it.

I know for sure, and I'm sure everyone does, Cryptocurrency isn't going away. Governments may do something 'rash' and try to get ride of it, I hope they don't but it does threaten their power over people in a way. If they try, I'll fight to the bitter end for the cryptos!

So Hi! Looking forward to meeting new people and learning more through these forums.

Seems worth it. Grab a board, some pcie risers, some cards and put it all together, they sell on ebay for way more than the cost of the hardware. Tempted to build them and sell them...

Nice for mining altcoins which could be exchanged for BTC.
