Hi lads !
I'm looking into making a silent mining heater using gpus using a 100bucks ionizer as the box :

Plus you have a temperature sensor and can monitor your temps (ambient of course) from anywhere using their app

My question is, seeing the dedicated mobos like these

The GPUs would be hanging and on risers of course.
I didn't yet resolve the PSU issue, a server psu would be far more space efiscient but the noise of the fans on these are too much for a living room.
The idea behind that is to crowdsource plans for a silent home gpu miner that of course wouldn't be as cost effective as bare gpu rigs but could allow many miners to continue their activities at home and reuse the heat for something usefull
Any inputs appreciated !
Cheers,
Q.
Maybe this belongs more in the altcoin mining section ? If so I'll move it just ask
