thanks for the tips.

I'm pretty sure running at 70C isn't going to kill it. If you're not current with gaming laptops some of them have very good ventilation now and run fairly cool. Also my room is kept pretty cold, and with winter coming heat shouldn't be an issue (besides me freezing).

Haha, yea the computer's really mine. There's nothing even close to as powerful as that in the army.

 I think the best army laptop I've seen is a C2Q with a fx3700.

I was planning on running a x7200 desktop replacement with an i7-960 and 2x 6990m's in CF.

I'm not looking to make a fortune out of this like some people, but I won't be on my computer for about 22 hours a day, so I figured I could put it to work.

I'm currently deployed to Afghanistan, but will soon have slow, but stable internet. I was wondering if it would still be possible to mine with my limited internet connection.

I'm also completely new to this, but I do have a couple friends that have been mining for awhile, so any tips are appreciated to get me started.

Hey, Nick here. Planning on purchasing a new laptop with 6990m's in Crossfire. Figure I could put it to a little work while I'm not using it.
