Guys PLEASE NUMBER!
Has someone done this yet?
Most funny thread on EVERY forum.
I'll start :O
1. When you know the core, memory, sp, codename, etc, of every AMD card by heart.
2. When your Asian friend says he uses PPS to watch videos at home and you think "Pay-Per-Share".
3. When you go the Sahara Desert and say "Psh..my room's hotter than this lol".
4. When you check your miners every 30 seconds to make sure they didn't lock up or are getting connection errors.
I'll think of more later.

When you bid on every single Radeon 5850 on ebay and then realise you've already spent this months wages on 5850's.
When you've got two big piles of 5850 boxes, half empty and half waiting to go into the next rig.
When you no longer need heating for your house but infact need air conditioning.
When you go to the store and think about how much everything costs in bitcoins and how long it would take for you to 'earn' that chocolate / bag / shirt.

100. You need to find out how to block DDoS attacks by other miners (and pools).
101. You need a 10Gbit/sec pipe to your home so that it can act as a backup DC for your pool servers.
102. If your miners go down for a day the next block difficulty will be lower.
103. You start looking for places around the planet with the lowest KWh costs.
104. You start looking for really cold countries to setup an outdoor air cooled mining facility.
105. You really do wonder which countries match the criteria for 103 and 104, and which would be the cheapest factoring in PUE.
106. You wonder if a nearby lake could act as a heat sink, but are still a bit concerned about possibly slow cooking all the fish alive.
107. You wonder how you can turn heat into an additional revenue stream. And begin by googling Low-temperature cooking and Sous-vide.
108. You wonder if you could ever mass market electric Bitcoin radiators.
109. You wonder if you have said too much about your addiction by taking part in this thread.

to expand on my previous point: McLaren Technology Center: (from wikipedia) The building is accompanied by a series of artificial lakes: one formal lake directly opposite that completes the circle of the building, and a further four 'ecology' lakes. Together they contain about 50,000 m³ of water. This water is pumped through a series of heat exchangers to cool the building and to dissipate the heat produced by the wind tunnels...
A 145 metre long, rectangular-circuit shaped wind tunnel is located at one end of the building. Team McLaren uses it for testing development aerodynamic parts, as well as testing aerodynamic set-ups. The tunnel contains 400 tonnes of steel and the air is propelled by a four metre wide fan that rotates at up to 600 rpm. How cool would my rigs run if they were cooled by a 4 meter fan at 600 RPM? |

131. When you have ignored your wife and talked about mining so much that she doesn't ask you to get romantic anymore but threatens to divorce you if you "don't come over here and drill this mine for a while."

132. When you realized that the last time you logged into Steam was 200 days ago.
133. Driver/BIOS updates aren't as a high priority anymore.
134. You're sacrificing body heat for an open window during the winter months.
135. Open box AMD cards on Newegg become more of an obsession than Nvidia.
136. You're changing the sleep profile for your monitor from "never" to "<5 min".
