I'm trying to expand my farm of hodgepodge old PCs with decent GPUs into a proper mining rig or two, and of all the orders I've placed, it's PSUs that keep having their delivery date pushed back. I refuse to overpay for any of this stuff, but at this point I would have made the difference back by now on the PSU.

I was considering to buy like 4-6 x 470 to mine etherium, but my apartment has shitty electrical installation (can only support like 3 kWh max) and also ETH went down in price recently.

Also mining difficulty is going up rapidly, while the hashpower stays the same.

So, it's probably not a good idea to buy the cards right now, i'm late to the party.

I have my antminer inside a box cooler with 3 inch walls and stuffed the insides several torn up memory foam pillow so that it would absorb the sound. The outside is covered with several rugs and yoga mats to further absorb the noise.

I can still hear on the second floor. 3/10 would not recommend.

I've got a couple 1600w titanium EVGA PSUs on order from Amazon for $430, ETA Feb 7-14. I really hope it doesn't get cancelled. I'd normally be fine settling for some 850w instead, but at this point, I'd be stuck with a mountain of 450w bronze PSUs or basically nothing.

Hey dummy, use some of those sick gamer skills to 420 noscope a good deal. I've bought like 10 1080ti's in the last 2 weeks for $850 or less including shipping and taxes. It's not even hard if you're willing to pay even a little bit of attention and learn the system. The only card I overpaid for was $1100 for a 1080 ti kingpin edition, but that was just to mine gamer tears with. I think they're really gonna moon in 2018 and it's going to be totally worth it. :^)

This. If there is any meat to the rumors regarding the upcoming cryptonight ASICs from Russia / Samsung entering the market and with minable security coins being a viable alternative to ICOs by circumventing any legal drawbacks ico issued security tokens can have I am very bullish on mining.

I chose 1080tis for a combination of rig density, (hopefully) a longer profitability window and because ETH is the main source of profitability in the AMD world, and it's a total mystery on how long before they transition to PoS (if ever). If/when ETH transitions to PoS, there will be a huge amount of hashing power spread into all the other coins that are profitable on those cards, and I think it's going to be a bad time.

Before the current market dump, the breakeven point on a 580 and a 1080ti were very similar, but when you counted all the extra parts like motherboards, ram, etc. that you'd need to mine a similar amount of USD per day, it ended up tipping very slightly in the favor of the 1080ti, which also should maintain a bit more resale value down the road, if I decided to sell.

Neither option is currently a bad one if you can pick them up for at or near MSRP. The retards paying $1500 per GPU for their mining rigs are really putting themselves in a risky situation, in a hobby that already has a pretty big risk factor. If you're buying it primarily for gaming and just wanna earn some extra cash on the side, then fuck it I guess, pay whatever you want.

The only nvidia cards i can get for a reasonable price are 1050ti, the rest is overpriced and even then often not even in stock.
So there's not much choice.... unless i get lucky with some obscure new coin, but i don't think that new moon missions will be that often in 2018.
I was considering to 'just wait'™ until AMD and Nvidia will release new cards, i've read that it's going to be this year.

>Neither option is currently a bad one if you can pick them up for at or near MSRP.

I can get a 470 for €200-230 ($240-280) or a 480 for € 250-300 ($300-360) Nvidia cards are so ridiculously overpriced here that i can't seriously consider them.


Not sure about resale value, as market here is small and buyer are well aware about high-end cards being used in mining rigs.

>f you're buying it primarily for gaming

I don't play games that much anymore, there's nothing to play, games are DLC-infested garbage and old games don't need high ends cards.
