So, my guy at HP Personal Systems...

just for shits and giggles I ran my Quadro 4000s on bitminter today and they made the grand total of 48MH/s each LOL. I knew they were crap for mining but didn't know they were that bad!

yeah, i wasn't expecting 1GH out of the Tesla C2050, but 125MH is so not worth the effort it took to get the thing running.  Mainly I'm just looking for stuff to fark around with for the next month or two to take my mind off the stress of buying a condo and moving two apartments into it.

The idiot who was IT manager before me and got fired got 4 off-lease HP-Compaq lay flat cases.  They're purposely designed with an L-shaped PSU so you "have to" get one from HP.  One failed and smoked and sparked up our conference room pretty good.  Another blew out in reception.  They wanted like $90 ea so for both, I put a standard ATX PSU outside the case and ran the cables in.  But HP thought of that!  The fan in the PSU is powered by a loopback cable from the PSU that hooks up to a 3-pin fan controller port on their rigged custom motherboard.  So now every time we turn them on, they beep angrily and you have to hit F1 to bypass the "no PSU fan" warning.  It is not disablable in the BIOS (even Dell's can do that!). Absolute bullshit.

So really, their enterprise products are giant boxes of scam and they're scam artists for selling those atrocities.  Out of all the PC's my other company has sold in the last 9.5 years, 1 has had a hardware failure.  Guess who we're buying the rest from.  I would not touch a personal or business product they make every again for any reason.

Oh and out of the 4, 3 had hardware failure since we got them 1.5 years ago.  I just swapped out a hard drive in another one with a 64GB Vertex 4 SSD it's really fast but thaaaaaaanks so much for that custom, one of a kind rail system for hard drive mounting.  That helped a lot!  Assholes.

Oh btw when shopping for printers, an ultra high end Xerox's TCO after 5 years was $31,000.  HP's somewhat mid level was $68,000.  Awesome.

I still respect HP.

Because my HP48sx calculator that I bought in 1990 still works and is still the king (imho).

We have like 8 HP Laserjets over 10 years old, some 15, and we can still get toner for them and they work great!  So yeah, their older stuff was fantastic.  Then they decided to have a who can get the crappiest parts for the cheapest price contest with Acer and Dell

Most things are like that nowadays. Quality has really went down the crapper comparing to yesteryear products.

Don't even get me started on the TouchPad. I bought a bunch during the internal "fire sale", and flipped em for a 300% profit by hacking them into Android tablets.

I got some in the fire sale too, kids were going mental at me to get them before they ran out, the main selling point of these things was Beats Audio and when they arrived the headphone socket only plays audio out of one ear!   WTF mono went out of fasion in the 70s!

What mining software did you use?

[Miner99er]

Wanted to chime in here just for the LULZ.

I have somewhere around 50 DC7100's D530 CMT's.

The D530's aren't worth a shit, but the DC7100's I have running (about have a 5830 or 5850 in them... on a 340W or 365W PSU.

And the damn things are overclocked to at least 950... and one amazing 5830 that sees 1010 on the core.

I just wanted to share.
