Same thing happened (and is kinda still happening) on my post. People seem to be able to build 2x7950 or 2x7970 systems for less than the cost of the GPUs themselves, I don't quite understand how they get those numbers. I've priced it out before, but here's my estimates for my line (likely similar to Crypto's):: Motherboard: $80-90 RAM: $30 PSU: $110 CPU: $40-50 Graphics Card: $740 (I do 2x7950 builds) OS: $100 Case: $90 (doesn't apply to Crypto) Not sure how people do such cheap builds, but I would certainly love to see their parts list, I could really slash prices on my miners I think they may be considering just the cost of the GPUs, perhaps they have some spare Wattage and PCI-E 16x sized slots. Not sure. AMEN! I use the 970 extreme 4 MOBO so thats $100 And my power supplies in the TNT models are 1250w Seagates, so they run around $230. 2 of my models actually do come in a case, but most people opt to have them open air anyway.

Yeah, I thought of going case-less as well, however I wasn't sure how shipping would work. I chose cases with good ventilation and a side panel that can be removed, so non-reference-design cards can ventilate from at least two directions very well. 1250W Seagates, talk about longevity.

Alright, I've spent all weekend building and tweaking the orders, some of you should get your units Tuesday, I've provided tracking numbers via email. Next set of units will be done testing and will ship Tuesday afternoon!
Cheers! And thanks for the orders!
PS: I've caught up on the builds, however I'm having a hard time getting my hands on enough 1x to 16x and 16x to 16x risers w/ extensions. So new orders please be aware that this could delay your delivery!!!

Having a hidden WHOIS on a domain is standard protocol for anyone who doesn't want 40 or 50 emails and phone calls per day from indian people claiming that they can "rank my website good in google searches", so there you go, a second reason. Okay dave you still never gave your last name. What was that again? And to counter your statement above. I own thousands of domains. I don't get 50 phone calls a day from "Indian" people a day, the emails go to spam. So again why does a legit business have hidden whois? I don't see how my last name pertains to any of this. The products speak for themselves, I'd be happy to tell any of my CUSTOMERS my last name. And, you must have the luck of the irish to not get those calls or emails. Thank you for your concern, and your concern for others. I agree. I own domains and get phone calls & emails. Most of the emails do go to spam but a few don't, spam filters aren't perfect. I might hit you up, once the member reviews come back.

A few people will be getting their rigs tomorrow, so I'll make sure they send pics and toss up some reviews.

The spoon, and the pickaxe can have a case added for $40 extra, just add it in the notes if you order, I don't recommend a case though, open air (storage crate) is the best way to keep these units cool.

Heres a couple pics for you guys! That's the beginning of a TNT rig (setting up the OS and drivers) This is a temperature test on a couple of the 7970's (That's why they're on the MOBO and so close together) Just some new parts that came in.... Thanks for all the support and orders everyone, I look forward to serving you guys for a long time!

Nice! Did you design this software for mining? Any more details available on what it does?

Nah, it just runs CGMiner with some tweaks for enhanced hashing.

You need to offer payment method of BTC/LTC. How can you sell rigs and only take USD?

I originally accepted BTC, however it's too hard to turn into cash to buy parts, so it doesn't fit into my shipping time frame, waiting 3 days to get the cash when someone pays with BTC.

Why not use 7950's for lite coin mining?

4 7950's would hash around 2000 kh/s 4 7970's will hash around 3000 kh/s.

4 7950's would hash around 2000 kh/s 4 7970's will hash around 3000 kh/s. But for the price of 4 7970's you can get 6 7950's. So your point is not valid. 7950 is more hash per dollar. And also wattage.
