Topic: Can I use an 'HP elite desk 800 G1' as a miner? (Read 73 times)
You can't meaningfully mine bitcoin with pc gear. You need sha-256 asic gear to mine bitcoin.
Altcoins mining is a different story and mining those is covered in the altcoins mining area https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=160.0

Hi all,
There's a cheap 'HP elite desk 800 G1' near me with some accessories, and I was thinking of grabbing it and using the components from the computer as a mini mining rig.
It comes with an SSD, RAM, monitor etc. so I thought it might be worth getting, however, I don't know if the included PCIe slots are suitable, as they're older v2.0 ones, as follows:
(2) PCI Express x1 (v2.0)
(1) PCI Express x 16 (v2.0 - wired as x4)
(1) PCI Express x16 (v3.0)
(1) Optional PCI (v2.3)
Is anyone able to please advise if these slots are suitable for using risers?
I know that I would have to use a different PSU, but I'd plan to pull the MB (with CPU) and SSD out and put it into a mining frame.
I appreciate any assistance or advice.
Kind regards,
Knightly.
