Just got to see if new gpu drivers would work on xp now then. Thanks for taking the time to reply. It seems this section of the forum has alot more posts and things get pushed onto the second page alot quicker than anything ive experienced in the btc section.

Edit: Would a used RX 470-480 be worth a try? Or is there something cheaper but still able to do some sort of mining of ETH (like a 450-460) just so i can learn a bit before spending more on newer gear?

Here arw a couple of photos. The machine was running WinXP if thats any help:-

Or would an msi Z170A M5 gaming mobo be better?

Is this a decent start? Obviously no gpu on there as thh 570 is out of stock and they dont list a 470-480.

To be honest i would start from scratch anyway. With the resale market, if things didnt work out for whatever reason i could always sell the parts on. So i would rather have newer gear just incase. So the list so far is:-

GPU:- RX470,480,570,580
SSD:- what size?
Mobo & RAM:- any one more suited to ether mining?
PSU:- i have a fanless 520w platinum ATX and a HP1200 with sidehack breakout board
CPU:- obviously to fit the mobo but are any better than others?
Peripherals:- ive got an old lcd screen with a multipin plug (used to fit in the blue monitor port) and a isb mouse and keyboard combo laying around.

Its 10+ years old, its got an amd athlon 2.8ghz(?) single core cpu, no idea on graphics card. The psu is 500w and before the 80+ ratings came into affect.

Thats exactly why im here, ive googled and there is so much information and opinions on which gpus and other equipment. Always found the knowledge here to be better than random searches on google.

Thats the trouble i use a laptop and my old tower pc is ancient.

New to this part of the forum but been around the btc section for a while. Ive only ever used asics on and off as a home hobby miner as noise/heat and electricty consumption are a factor for me.

Im interested in setting up a small expandable rig to mine ETH alone. Having never really dealt in any indepth computer building etc im totally lost in regards to how and where to start. I know what bits are and can plug them in but other than that its a mystery  im eager to learn though and generally quick to grasp things. From what i understand there are a few different OS i could use but for simplicity i would like to stick with windows.

Basically what bits do i need to buy to get started (one card for now just to dip my toe in) and how the hell do you build it all lol.

Thanks for any help you guys can give me.

P.s. Im based in the UK so if hardware suggestions could be that region specific it would be a great help.

It takes longer to send pictures to individuals than it would to post pictures on this thread with your forum name and date. That would show every prospective buyer you have the goods you are suposedly selling.

I put a thread up about buying ETH with BTC and it was removed for some reason. Not sure why, wouldve been nice if one of the mods/admins messaged me as to why.

Just a heads up incade you find this thread gets deleted. Good luck woth the trade though 

How much to ship to the UK? Im happy to pay escrow fees through philipma1957.

Just putting some feelers out there to see of anyone wants to trade ETH for BTC. Just to be clear i want ETH and have BTC to trade, straight swap in equivalent value.

Jusy received from the manufacturer? How long did the courier lose them for?

Have you got a picture of the 12 units with a note showing your forum name and date?

Sold 0.042 for paypal. Smooth transaction. Thanks.

Haggsfin has purchased a couple of miners from them and they delivered. No experience myself but i did contact them and they responded quickly and quite professionally.

No trusted takers so selling it through coinbase.

Rate changed to +5% preev rate.

Hi zazarb, what rate do you buy btc at? I have 0.042 and need some paypal.

Thanks.

Thanks revo. Looks like I dodged a bullet there
