I´m thinking about building a small Hybrid Rig using 2x Evga 1070ti Hybrid in this case: Sharkoon VG5-V
Should work if I place both hybrid fans on the side of the case (there are two spots for 120mm fans), right?!

Picture of the mod? Know you on which other server psu it's also possible?
The server PSUs that I like are the HP 1,500w common slot PSU (yellow label on top, takes 220v) and the DPS-2000BB (220v). I use them with breakout boards, not wires. You can strap or screw in a heatsink on the HP 1500w units and that will help keep them cool and the fan noise to a minimum. Easy to fit one of these into a 4U Rosewill case (HP PSU). Can't speak to the particular one on Ebay.
DO you use a passive heatsink or one with a fan? I presume you just dab some thermal paste on and zip tie it to the exterior of the PSU? Noise isn't a problem for the server PSUs out in our dedicated mining portion of our barn, but if we ever have any in the house it certainly would be an issue...
Depends. In an open rig, simply passive. Take out six screws, remove the top, apply thermal paste, clamp the heat sink to the top, drill, screw in four screws. In a 4U, I place the HP along the floor of where a normal ATX power supply would fit and I mount a fan on the outside back of the case to blow cool air over the fins. You can also zip tie to keep the heat sink in contact with the top of the HP. I use these heat sinks: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Large-Big-Aluminum-Heat-sink-Cooling-Radiator-for-Led-High-Power-Amplifier-IC-B1/292311600903?epid=8008981252&hash=item440f210f07:g:1BQAAOSw~HBZ9vdg |

Question. When you have multiple rigs. How do you tie them all into your monitor to view what’s going on?
smOS ? @phil - my supplier over this side of the world said that there is new NVIDIA announcements after CES and there are price hikes too. @rs1x - much going on with ETH developments, expect this to move even higher.... ETH is good for long hodl, especially in 2018 -- the year of the Platforms (see NEO, QTUM, ICX, EOS, etc.). BTC dominance may not be long.... BTC in #2 or #3 spot looks likely. I agree - have not sold one coin that I've mined in the last 10 months. I have a unique situation where I can offset operating costs. ETH is last I'd consider selling. I am sitting on a few EXPANSE, UBIQ, and ETH Classic I would sell before ETH. |

@ citronick what's your opinion on moving a couple dozen from BTC into ETH
Thinking about diversifying my portfolio a little bit but not sure if I want to eat the fees or just keep it all BTC.
Currently, my Gemini account is 30% BTC, 30% ETH and 40% USD$ I have also Binance and Bittrex trading accounts... for about 12 more alts. Diversity is key to growing wealth. The Citronick System: Every Monday - I see if BTC or ETH is high enough so that I can sell. If NO - do nothing. Every Friday - I see if BTC or ETH is low enough so that I can buy. If NO - do nothing. At the moment, BTC dipped below 15,900$ support -- so I will buy. ETH is strong at 1225$ ATH and the rally since weekend show a lot of accumulation --- so I will sell. RINSE and REPEAT. Absolutely diversify your portfolio! True with stocks, 401k and other investments... also true with Crypto! I've got roughly 1/3 BTC, 1/3 ETH, and 1/3 in other alts. Those other alts are also diversified by type... meaning don't put all your eggs into the Privacy coin (like XMR etc) basket... branch out and get into storage-based coins (like Burst, Sia, Storj), other smart contract coins, medical field coins, etc, etc. This methodology has enabled me to mitigate losses on big BTC downswings. Granted, this market is crazy and nobody can predict what will happen, but at least recently, alts have made huge gains vs BTC. I know a few you-tubers were preaching moving all of their altcoin investments into BTC back in early Dec. If you followed that advice you would have lost big time as BTC has gone from about 52% of the total crypto market value to under 35% currently. |

Wow has ETH been on a wild ride! Was watching it all day yesterday... topping out at about $1,230 on GDAX (I broke down and sold 1 at just over $1,200 lol). Then overnight, it crashed all the way down under $980, only to quickly rebound and now be right at the $1,150 mark and possibly headed over $1,200 again. Thanks to this latest bump, my rx 470's are netting over $3/day... something I never would have thought possible, even 3 months ago! Granted, it's nowhere near the close to $10/day on the higher end GTX cards, but hopefully i will get on that train very soon.

Interesting theory Phil. I've been plagued by these high BTC transaction fees to the point that it is not economical to use BTC anymore for purchases unless you're buying something costly. This would certainly explain a lot and I hope it opens people's eyes to mine on other pools. |

Hey, haven't you read this from Antpool doc: Transaction fees not paid out to miners for maintaining cost and the bonus for our engineers You don't want to leave those hard working engineers without their bonus do you?  |

This would certainly explain a lot and I hope it opens people's eyes to mine on other pools. the only theory is how many 2 to 10 sat transaction are they doing like the 1 a day for 2 months that I show. 1 a day is no big deal 10000 a day is a big deal 10000 x 0.0001 = 1 btc and it creates 80 to 225 btc back to the antpool+btc.com 40% group 10000 a day is 10,000 x 1335 bytes = 13,350,000 or 13.35 blocks at small fees of about but it creates 13,350,000 x 10 = 133,500,000 bytes or 133.5 blocks at high fees so if a coder was to search out all transactions paying under 10 sats a byte the exact number is determined. We have proof of 1 day not more so is it 1 or 10,000? or most likely an in between number? Say 100 or 1000 I would love to know and if I could code to sort out tx's under 10 sats a byte I would. That is on someone else to do. |

Well here's my other dilemma - I just don't feel safe depositing a lot of bitcoins in any exchange. I am already shitting bricks with just 3 BTC that I have in Poloniex. I probably wouldn't be able to sleep at night if I deposited 10% or 25% of my holdings with all the new tax and IRS bullshit going on I just feel I'm better off keeping it all off the books. Just had really bad dealings with Paypal 10-15 years ago just as an example freezing 50k and didn't release for 6 months! Coinbase also stole around 100k from me and banned my account a few years ago. Not trying to deal with shit like that. Pretty much just ranting at this point so I'll stop. Side note I was able to scrape up 6 1070 TI's - 4 1080 TI FE's - 4 1080 TI Hybrids - and 4 1080's - never used 1080's but just said screw it why not. Slots need to be filled. Still on the hunt for more but I'm not trying to pay crazy reseller prices |

Nope. 12" maximum width on the MB. EATX uses a LONGER motherboard, not a wider one, so they can still fit into 4U cases with an ATX-type power supply "on it's side" without exceeding the max width of a 4U case or having to park the PS "over" something. |

ETHMonitor (not the control part, JUST the monitor part) works pretty well and is free to use. I don't bother with KVM switches any more, I just move the KB/Trackball/VGA connectors as needed with one set assigned to each "rack/shelf" unit. |

What do you guys think about the GTX 1080 Ti equipped with a blower fan? I'm thinking about returning into to the gpu mining and build a small 4 GPU rig using these made by Zotac: ZOTAC GeForce® GTX 1080 Ti Blower (ZT-P10810B-10P)https://www.zotac.com/us/product/graphics_card/zotac-geforce-gtx-1080-tiI'm able to buy these for quite reasonable price from Germany. |
