err are you high TS?
$1,199 for a 7970 rig???
you can get a p45 mainboard, 2gb ram, a celeron for $150. Then a 7970 cost around $400 on newegg.
including psu it would only cost around $600
then look at your TNT $2,549 - 3000 khash
5x 7950@ $300 = $1500
Mobo+CPU+8gbRAM+HDD = $200
1200W Coirsair AX1200 = $265
DIY rack $30 maximum
total $2000
7970s are $419
The PSU to handle all those cards (Seasonic 1250w GOLD rated) NOT JUNK is $259
ASRock 970 extreme 4 $99
etc.
etc.
Anyone could build these or build and sell them, I've remained open about that. The bottom line is I don't build JUNK. Most home mining rigs are junk.
Plus, the rig you described with 7950's would have no real hope of hitting 3000 kh/s
Again, this is more of a service than anything at the moment. Are we researching other alternatives (FPGA, ASIC) of course, but for now, this is what we do.
Thanks to everyone for all the orders so far!
