So what kind of money are you guys getting back? If you feel comfortable enough, just give us an example of how much money you made the last month of mining? I'd LOVE to just leave for work knowing I have a mining rig working its butt off making me a little extra money. Not knowing what hardware to buy is what is killing me. ASIC hadware is out I see but only by small companies.

You have some of the best rigs. I like that little power adapter.  And Absolute: a miner's best friend. |

It is in the CPU at the bottom of the rack, I slow down to show the card running at the end of the video. I put the Artic cool fan on it so it does not look like a factory one if you missed it. Watch it again and you will see  . That factory fan sucks balls big time. |

Well, I made mention of it in another post so I guess I better officially post my pics and my explanation of the setup. Been doing Bitcoin for almost a year now. Started with one rig that is running with 4 5850s using box fan to keep system cooled. Ive been using the spare bed room since its just a storage room for now. Main advantage is that I can keep the room closed and keep the noise to a min. Of course I wanted to expand to more rigs, but I did not want to overload the breaker for the room. I don't have any other spare rooms, and I cant have a rig with a box fan in a usable room. So I decided to make up a submersion rig. Ive seen these for years on youtube and I always wanted to try it. So this was my chance. The advantage was that I could place the rig in the garage and since the system will be "sealed" I don't have to worry about dirt, bugs, mice, etc getting into the computer like if I used a traditional air cooled rig. So after alot of digging and planning and errors I got it going. It is not running at 100% yet, only cause I greatly underestimated the cooling needs with 4 video cards. I do have a triple radiator on order with some high speed fans, so that should give me the cooling required to run the cards at full speed.     It runs very quiet. Only sound you hear is the fans since the pump is submerged. |

I did have a buddy try that. not mining but just gaming. you will need a much bigger radiator than that, car radiator, transmission cooler, something. Also you will want a really high flow pump as you will probably get about a 10th of what the pump is rated Well, I made mention of it in another post so I guess I better officially post my pics and my explanation of the setup.

If it is just like any other submerged system, it should be mineral oil. |

If it is just like any other submerged system, it should be mineral oil. Yeah there's not much else you can use that's clear, unless you spend 100's of dollars a gallon on something like Fluorinert. But damn that would be cool. Thermal conductivity of mineral oil is much lower than water. But on the bright side, systems seem to stay stable at higher temps, because there are no hot spots but technically I'm pretty sure you could submerge a computer in distilled water if you could totally seal the system from any metals entering the system, but that's probably impossible |

So if your using a radiator with a fan to cool it.....why bother submerging it? I thought the whole idea of submerging the entire system was to eliminate the need for fans.

You need to cool the oil unless you're planning on submerging it in a much, much larger tank. |
