Okay, I'll admit it: I love clusters. But until I realized the profitability of bitcoin mining, I never had a justification for keeping one running.
Now I can't wait to build one.
Did this happen to anyone else?

I've gotta admit, that I love having servers. Makes me feel powerful. Though I don't think mine are powerful enough to do any serious mining. D:

I have a cluster of 200 Apple II computers all networked together to provide 1 Mh/s of mining power.

Yes. I am obsessed with bitcoin rigs.
|
I buy and sell GPUs, most 5850s and 7970s. jimzolorenzo@gmail.com -- Make an offer. http://myworld.ebay.com/i_buy_5850s -- current inventory I have a couple bare bone mining rigs for sale as well. -------------- I bought silver from [ccliu] 5 star transaction! I bought silver from [TECSHARE] -- shipping still |

It's probably for the technician who needs to patch behind those machines  |

No matter how many times I see those pictures I can't stop myself from just sitting and staring at the awesomeness for several minutes.

 I like small and quiet clusters like this  Icarus fpga cluster 2 Ghs @ 100W |

Has anyone built an AWS GPU cluster?

That's almost certainly not worth it. The GPU instances use Nvidia cards, which from what I gather are slow at hashing. Plus they cost $2.10/hr ($1500/mn). |

Not to hijack the thread, but could someone give me the "explain it to me like im 5" explanation of what im looking at. I understand mining bitcoins with computers and such but these cards confuse me. How are they achieving that type of hash rate at such a low power draw? |
