I know, it's not a miner, but the build is really beautiful and may give someone here some interesting ideas. http://www.totalgeekdom.com/?p=572

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

I'm not familiar with the cost/availability of Legos so I'm wondering how much a build like that would cost?

Second that. I have a few old boxes lying around but nowhere near enough of the right pieces.. Also, I have heard there was actually a designer program which allowed you to do CAD style model and then gave you a part list to order... that may be quite useful too... EDIT: trying now: http://ldd.lego.com/download/default.aspx

Look through the rigs thread. I'm pretty sure someone in there has built a K'Nex rig to support his/her cards

Two 6970's at ~360MH/s on stock voltage and one 5830 at 270MH/s, also on stock voltage...all running on linuxcoin. Using the GPU fans @ 50% they all hover around 73C in my basement drawing 720 watts.

I believe you're thinking of an Erector Set. Went out of style with the chemistry sets... Sharp edges and chemicals? The children could be killed!

I am so incredibly grateful not to be a youngster today. They don't have a clue how to actually build anything. Nor do toystores have anything resembling a decent model section anymore.

That K'Nex build is actually pretty elegant. Being an 'old fart' I have no idea where one obtains K'Nex though.

Im impressed with the K'Nex one that had to take some time to construct it. But I wonder how fragile it is, can you move it as one piece if you had to?
