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. 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...  |

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.
