Custom 2000 Kh/sec mining rigs for sale

[CryptoBadger]

Hi all,

I run cryptobadger.com - some of you are probably familiar with my guide on how to build your own litecoin mining rig. Over the past couple months, I've received a lot of requests to sell pre-assembled rigs from people that don't have the time and/or inclination to build one from scratch. I've sold a few privately to get a feel for the process, and as of last week, I've decided to offer my rigs to the public.

If a pre-built rig appeals to you, you can check out what I'm offering here:

If you'd like a better sense of exactly what you're getting, you can check out the setup/management guide here.

And of course, if you'd prefer to build your own rig, I have a fairly detailed guide for that, too. =)

I'll try to anticipate some questions here:

Why don't you accept bitcoins/litecoins as payment?

I'm using Paypal for now mainly to give buyers peace-of-mind. Given that cryptocurrency transactions can't be reversed, I'm sure many people would simply assume "scam" if I wanted customers to pay with bitcoin/litecoin. If you'd prefer to pay with cryptocurrency, I'd be happy to accommodate you, of course.

Won't these be destroyed in shipping?

They're packed pretty thoroughly, with about 2" of bubblewrap and packing paper on all sides of the rig. The GPUs are tied down during shipping, just in case the box is inverted. Everything is securely held in place with cable ties, and any empty space is filled with paper or bubble wrap.

What hardware are you using?

It varies from rig to rig, but they'll all be within 5% of 2000 Kh/sec and 780 watts at the wall. Most recently, I've been using Gigabyte WF3s GPUs (undervolted via custom BIOS). All of the PSUs are at least 80 Plus Gold certified (I pretty much only use Seasonic and Corsair units here). I tend to stick to motherboards that have at least 5 PCI-E slots, in case the customer wants to expand later.

But... you're making money on these!!

Yes. I'm sure there will be those that claim the price I'm offering these units at is too high. After all, in my own hardware guide, I show that the hardware required to build one of these yourself costs under $1500!

Keep in mind that there are several hours of work that go into each rig for assembly, configuration, testing, and packaging. That's assuming that everything goes as it should and I don't have any defective hardware - an individual rig can easily turn into a 15 hour project if I have to troubleshoot issues.

I need to stock enough extra parts and hardware to cover me in the event of faulty hardware. Not to mention stocking a whole bunch of plastic crates and packing materials. =)

I need to deal with RMA process headaches when I get defective hardware.

I need to assume the risk that some customers are going to try to scam me via Paypal chargebacks, etc.

I need to drive these things to a UPS hub to ship them (they're not accepted at other drop-off locations because of the insured value).

And I need to deal with the occasional unpleasant customer.

Essentially, I consider the price that I'm offering these units at to be quite fair. If you disagree, then I've already given you all of the information you need to build your own. =)

Thanks for looking and I'd be happy to answer any questions that you guys might have!

A+.

Checking out the site and i think a lot of people out there would say that your deal is actually pretty nice. There is obviously a premium to be paid for the service and setup (which is where you're making the money), but it appears to be a very fair premium. I've seen similar places try to charge much higher rates for crate rigs which just didn't seem as fair.

If i was someone that was not really technically minded and wanted to get into mining, i'd definitely be interested. As someone that is technically minded i see this as a fair product in terms of pricing, i'd perhaps even call it a bargain to be honest. The reason behind me saying so is simply because of the following:

- Rig is completely setup and good to go. All you need to do is plug in the power and press the "on" button.
 - All software w/ OS is preinstalled and preconfigured
 - All of your own miner details are entered and good to go
 - All hardware has been updated with the most efficient drivers and bios configs

The benefit of all of this is that there is absolutely no fiddling or timewasting in terms of getting your rig to work the best way possible, it's completely done for you. I can imagine kids posting here and talking about how it would be cheaper to buy all the components and set it up yourself, but thats not the point of what the OP is trying to sell, so appreciate that please. A message to anyone that isn't so technically minded and has been wanting to get into altcoin mining: this is a very decent deal, if the guy is genuine, then it's A+ in terms of value.

Hey CryptoBadger, you're guide helped me a lot in setting up a LTC mining rig.  Best of luck in your new business endeavor!  You have my approval.

A word of warning, be very careful with paypal. Someone on reddit was doing the same business you are and had the transaction reversed after the customer signed for the rig. I can't seem to find the link though. I'll edit later if it turns up.

That person was discovered to be a lying troll and they deleted the post.

Thanks for the kind words Aragami and R-T-B!

As for possible Paypal fraud, I understand that it is something that I may have to deal with eventually. I document every step of the process with emails between myself and each customer, and the UPS shipment requires an adult signature. I know it'll be a headache if somebody does try to scam me, but I should have enough documentation and history if/when a dispute comes up. Thanks for the warning, though!

sonofabitch. I missed that completely. Thanks

Had a question earlier and just thought I'd clarify here: the rigs come pre-configured with your primary mining pool, and as many backup pools as you want, ready to go. You just need to press the power button.
