sundownz: Why not use the built-in RDP in Win 10Pro?
Complete the RDP with that https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=44989
and no need for any teamviewer crap.
GIGABYTE GA-970A series (5 PCI-E) AM3 Socket 30-50usd
AMD Athlon II X2 240 AM2+ AM3 65W 10-15usd
4GB DDR3 20usd
i use the same excepted i had the cheaper 160u (unlock to 260u) but later i replace by fx 8300 oc to 3.8 - 4Ghz doing average 360h on moneroAMD Athlon II X2 240 AM2+ AM3 65W 10-15usd
4GB DDR3 20usd
i that on 8 ring it s like having 1 ring more
Sundownz,
Admiring your setup! Can you advise on what you run on these systems? What OS? Are you on a network with a domain controller, or just workgrouping them together? Are you running any anti-virus on them? What apps are you using to mine and manage your rigs?
-Good to know your build can withstand the NC heat; I am in Richmond, VA, so pretty much in the same boat.
Thanks for the ideas!
Paul

Paul,
1) Windows 10 Pro on all systems - I keep them all 100% updated as well.
2) I use built-in Windows Defender & also my whole network is behind a hardware firewall
3) Right now I user a variety of miners:
a) Nemosminer on all nVidia GPUs - running on ZPOOL
b) I use Cpuminer 2.4 on all my CPUs to mine Yescrypt - running on ZPOOL
* I used to do ITNS on all my CPUs but had issues getting IP banned on the pools... but Yescrypt is doing me well.
c) I use SGminer on most of my AMD GPUs for Cryptonight (ITNS)
d) I do have one system with 3x VEGA-64 and I use Cast-XMR on it (ITNS)
4) Right now I don't have any remote admin capacity setup but I am working on that after my vacation:
a) I am looking into the iBOOT Web PDU units : http://dataprobe.com/iboot/
b) Software side I am looking at either putting Team Viewer on every system or getting minerstat.com setup
c) Right now... I check my pool stats to see if miners are online and I have someone at work reset them if needed & I'm not around as my mining setup is at my business.

Hey guys -- heads up to those following my thread... I ordered 11 pcs of these at once this morning. Hop in and try if looking for bigger QTY =)

How much you spend for the electricity ?
Asking the important questions here.
It is around $1000 USD / month approximately.
@Sundownz - Just to confirm, you've not been able to get any TI (1070TI, 1080TI) cards working on the Z400 , have you?
I think they may require UEFI.
Wanted to see your take on this? Thanks!

I actually have 21 pcs of the 1070 Ti cards on my Z400s running no problem so far.
There is a MUCH more recent BIOS available... I always flash mine to version 3.6 before adding hardware.

Awesome set up I love it

That's a cool setup Sundownz.
I like your idea of a modular setup using PC's with just a few GPU's and then just trying to do as many as possible.

I just saw the basement of your home and I have wanted to do something similar in mine.

So awesome - the amount of gear in that picture makes me droll. Makes me feel like I need to also scale up big time
Just found a source for T7500's @ $125... I see a single mention someone earlier in the thread; just wondering has anyone had success turning a T7500 into a mining rig? They seem to be close to the T5500 in design...
$125 ?! I can't find them for any cheaper than 275+ EUR
so that's a steal! Especially considering this ...Dell T5500 is the equivalent of a HP Z400-series
Dell T3500 is the equivalent of a HP Z600-series
Dell T7500 is the equivalent of a HP Z800-series
... and T7500 seems to come with 1100W PSU by default. And with two PCie 16 slots with upto 225W (instead of 150W of HP Z400) out of a total of the similar 4x PCie according to http://www.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx/workstation-precision-t7500 . It sure has great perspective.
I just bought the last two T7500's for $100 a piece. Starting my build soon...
So...how many GPU's can you fit inside a DL380 with the PCIE expander?
Or does anyone know of a "budget" second hand server that can fit GPU's inside with the case closed?
All of the GPU/compute setups are either impossible to find or are $2k+ for the chassis
I'm using Rosewill 4U setups right now and they're awesome, but finding something like a DL580 for cheap would be cool

Awesome Rigs!!
Curious what algos you like at zpool for the nvidias?

Right now X17 is killing it... but I do have 18 algos to switch between. I'll share which ones they are when I get home -- currently in Mexico.
