I have two R9 270x GPU's (looking for more, but everyone seems to be sold out!)
Paid $250 each.
I will be buying:
Motherboard:?
Need recommendations.
Processor:AMD FX -4130 3.8Ghz Processor FD4130FRGUBOX, Black Edition
$101.99.
PSU:Not sure yet; but I will be going for a 1250 watter so I can support 3-4 cards total.
OsI would like to use Linux, since I do not have extra copies of Windows 7 lying around. Can anyone recommend an easy to handle USB bootable version fit for mining and compatible with most mining softwares?
Case:I reaaaaally want to get those cool looking stick aluminum build yourself cases that I keep seeing on here, but every place I go, no one knows about them.
I only have Best Buys and Fry's Electronics near me.
On here, the only supplier for them I can see is in Australia.
Also, I do not have access to a spare monitor to the new rig, only a laptop. Would I be able to plug a vga cable from the new rig to a laptop and control the rig that way?
Thanks for putting up with my noob questions
I will post pics of my rig here as soon as it is done.
