4x R9 290, but would actually prefer 2x R9 295x2 due to the cooling issues..

I never had a mining rig, although I have tried to mine Bitcoins using Bitminter. I have also used CPU mining, to mine Litecoins.

Mine was my gaming laptop. Cheesy Not really a rig, just wanted to try out mining. This was back then when mining BTC with GPUs was normal, nobody knew about no ASICs and Litecoin was mined by CPUs. Good times... Smiley

My first attempt was using all my laptops.
List:
MacBook Pro 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5
MacBook Pro 2.4 Intel Core 2 Due
ASUS-laptop AMD E2 VISION 1800 1.7 GHz
(Also I did some mining using my Galaxy S3)
Let's just say I didn't become a millionaire. I gave up after a week with ~3mBTC and realized I earned a lot more from faucets.
(Those computers however mined me a few litecoins a few months later, yay!)

Started mining on my two 5750s at 360ish MH/s in early 2013. Stopped it when new worthwhile games came out and I favored plaing them to mining :p. Now jumped back in with two antminer U2s.
