Will work for Crypto !! New Mini PC Rig Build

A gaming PC starting from the heavy duty gaming Corsair case shown above, the system is now gutted and inserted into a mining rig case, much simpler and kinda boring but looks cool in it’s own right.

I’ve turned this computer into a decent mining ring for now.... I just purchased and added an RX 580 8gb gpu, which has been fired it up mining ethereum. The rig only has 3 cards but they are Hashing away each day so I have no complains. I was able to get the 580 to an outstanding high of 28mh on Ethermine.com and I am super stoked with the results.

The profits daily is nowhere near the two S9’s but this setup was much much cheaper, possibly more profitable in the short term.

I also have an r9 270x that was in the Corsair case and a new RX560 installed and mining as well. The 560 cost under 200 bucks so it was a easy buy to mine some coins like zcash and possibly some Monero or electroneum.

The rig is stable and runs on a Windows 10 installation on a Radeon SSD, with 16gb of ram and a 750w power supply I should have plenty of room to expand. I think I’m going to continue to add GPUs until all 6 slots plus an add on to the M2 slot will actually make it 7 total. Then replace a few of the older cards and try to crush my ROI ASAP.

I think I’m going after some 1070s next! Plenty of room to spare will all those lonely PCIe slots.

I am currently using the claymore miner for ZCash and Ether but I’m looking for a cheaper alternative. A one time fee might best best, I just don’t like the idea that ever hour I’m paying some guy for a peice of software that would never cost the amount of money he will end of earning over the life of this rig. 2% each hour adds up, and if you don’t agree, well then give me 2% hourly of anything you want and I’ll make out like an F’in king.

Future plans ...well other than the next few GPUs , I’m thinking of running a little Monero off the CPU, it’s watercooled so it could take a pretty heavy load before any performance issues would show. There is just something about the minersgate software I don’t trust. I’ll have to find an alternative...on the other hand it is making me nothing by sitting around.
