i need advice, on a cheapest mining rig with just 2 vga, with no case
MOB: cheapest one, there is anything around 50 euro? CPU: adm or intel? RAM: 4 gb VGA: 2x 7950, gigabyte maybe? or vapor-x? PSU: a 650w would be enough, tell me the best HDD: no issue, i have already one
it's possible to stay on 550 euro at max, $750usd

Have you calculate, is the worth of electricity etc worth the cost of mining?

2 x 7950 already cost more then 500 euro... And go for AMD: cheap mobo cheap cpu, good enough performance

There's still no chance of it being 550 EUR, decent PSU is probably 90 EUR (which you NEED).

400+90+60(mob+cpu+ram) even used mob, cpu and ram are ok, i don't need them new
if it is still impossible, than 600 at max should be enough

You want more than a 650 psu for 2x7950.

If power is not a concern 5850's can be bught for $125 us and get 400khash overclocked
Find a cheap open box am3 or am3+ motherboard at your local store.
single core amd sempron
cheap ram and a good power supply
with 3 5850's 1.2mh and all together can be had for 575 us dollars $50 motheboard $30 cpu $20 ram $100 power supply 3x 5850 at $125 =375 Total = 575 say 600 for shipping ect.
EDIT: actually they consume 175watts each so not bad on power either

The 5000 series are strange cards. My 6850 maxes at 275kh it doesnt care wether the memory clock is 700mhz or 1200 mhz still 275kh. My 5850's run at 400khash at 975 core and 1175 memory. If I change one up or down without the other i actually loose hashrate. My 5850's blow the 6850 out of the water. I know the numbering system was differant back then. I think a 5850 is comparable to a 7950

You can try 3 x ATI 7850, they cost less and spent less power... MB GB H61M-DS2V - 51$ CPU Intel G1610 - 45$ HDD no matter - 55$ RAM 2GB DDR3 - 18$ PSU SS 620W bronze - 85$ 3x ATI 7850 1GB DDR5 - 3x175$ _____________________ Prices are in Bulgaria! This system will spent less than 450 wats under hard overclock...and will give you 1200 kh/s VGA: core 1100/ memory 1400 Miner: tread concurrency 8-9000, worksize 256, agression 19 _______________________________ 390-400 kh/s single card ______________________________________________ My rigs: MB Asrock B75 Pro 3 CPU Intel G1610 HDD 500 GB Seagate SATA3 RAM 4GB DDR3 PSU SS 750W Bronze 3x ATI 7950 Powercolor ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 750 wats, 600-610 kh/s single card
