Hiring somebody to help me setup my bitcoin mining rig. I can pay in bitcoins.

[bbitcoin]

Hi,

I'm having some trouble setting up my rig and I was hoping some experts here can help. I am hoping someone can assist me on my setup through AOL instant messaging. I can pay in Bitcoins for whoever can help me get my rig running. I want to setup a rig with 3x ATI 6870's and 2x 6950's, the mobo I'm using has 4 pcie x16 slots and 1 pcie x8 slots. I'll be using a riser cable on 1 of the cards and a pciex1 to pciex16 riser cable on the other. If I can't get all 5 cards to run, I'm willing to settle for 4 cards running. OS is Windows XP. I've tried to do it myself but it is not recognizing all the cards. I've tried plugging a monitor in it and still nothing. Sometimes I can get the system to recognize maybe 2 cards but not every card I put in. I don't have dummy plugs but I have tried to plug another monitor in it still doesn't work. Please reply if anyone can help me. Also, how much Bitcoins do you charge (please give me a quote in USD, I know that bitcoin's price fluctuates and I would like to get a fixed amount in USD)? After setup I would like to let the rig run for 1 day before submitting payment, to make sure nothing goes wrong. (I have setup a rig before and the rig just shuts down and restarts itself). I really like to get by rig up and running because right now I just got a bunch of cards sitting around doing nothing  . Here are some of my specs

Mobo: MSI 790FX-GD70 (it has 4 pciex 16 slots, 1 pcie x8 slots, and 1 pci slots)
Gpus: 3x 6870, 2x 6950
PSU: 1200w watts
Rams: 2 gigs
HD: IDE 18 gigabyte
CPu: don't exactly remember but its some slow AMD cpu that most rigs use.

Thank you all for your time.

Give BAMT a try, it auto detects the video cards, no terminators or monitors needed, and you just need to edit two files to get it up and running: About 60 seconds of work. Instructions to install it to a USB stick are on the BAMT page: http://www.aaronwolfe.com/bamt/.

Hi!

 I can do this for you.

 First, you need to do only two things:

 1- Install Ubuntu Natty 11.04 64 bits using the Alternate CD image found here:

 http://releases.ubuntu.com/natty/ubuntu-11.04-alternate-amd64.iso

 After done the installation, configure your network and install the following packages:

 2- run:

Code:

sudo aptitude install ssh screen

 If you wish, we can setup most of things using TeamViewer.

 And, add me at MSN, GTalk (preferred) or Skype:

 MSN: thiagocmartinsc@hotmail.com
 GTalk: thiagocmartinsc@gmail.com
 Skype: thiagocmartinsc

Best,
Thiago

You don't have to pay me to tell you this:

You need to have POWERED pci-e extenders to get more than 4 gpu on any motherboard, some motherboards can only handle 3.  With high power cards - 5970 and 6990 - you can only run 2 cards (4 gpu limit) without using powered extenders.

I almost burned out a motherboard b.c. of this once.

This.

Although I am currently running 2 5970s and a 6950 on a mobo without powered risers.

Is your 1200W PSU running at 1200W peak or constant? If constant is only say 900W it won't be enough to run 5 cards.
