The main point here is, you paid for the expertise and convenience of that company putting that bundle together. By no means is it a ripoff, seems a very fair value to me for someone who doesn't know what they are doing.

if you don't see any added value in the motherboard he sent you why have you not named the model?

i think you're more upset that you weren't able to research properly yourself before paying for this or else you would be linking directly to amazon pricing for the same mobo you were sent.

how did you pay for the kit?

Entitled fucking prick, where do you get off DEMANDING they sell products at COST to you? THE POINT OF A BUSINESS IS TO MAKE A PROFIT!!!

If the service/goods they sell perform as advertised HOW can you possibly complain? Of course they are going to use the cheapest mobo capable of 8 cards.... why would you waste money on more expensive boards that offer NO tangible benefit?

Simple facts here, you wanted a plug n play setup that was guaranteed to work, you PAID for the PRIVILEGE. Could it have been done cheaper? Sure, but you would have had to do actual work, I know, you're probably allergic or adverse to that....

How is it only worth $200?

Mobo - $139

Eth OS flash drive - $40, Eth OS does cost $40 a license you know.... a cheap flash drive has nothing to do with it.

RAM - 4 GB - $30

G3930 - $42

Total = $251 and thats not counting the free shipping which I promise you cost at least $10 bare minimum, closer to $20 more likely.

So $261-271 BARE MINIMUM.



I dont give a fuck about "gpu shack" but as someone who runs a small business, I would tell you to go fuck yourself in NO uncertain words. Especially with that negative review extortion BS that you implied above.

And you wonder why they dont answer your emails.... I still cant believe the attitude you have. Simply unreal.

They make about $75 profit on the kits, I bought one, now know exactly what parts to buy on my own. Also bought their case for $250, raised my temps a lot over the dishracks I was using. They offer a good service for beginners but they could do a lot more to get repeat business.

As much as I dislike gpushack, what you received still fits the description and I don't think you're entitled to a refund.

However, you still have a right to review a shitty product as a consumer. I see a bunch of people on this thread riding gpushacks dick to validate their seemingly unrealized overpriced bundle purchase. I'm not sure who in their right mind would drop $360 when all could be had for <$200.

As it's already been stated. You paid for a guaranteed 8 card mobo package. If you didn't buy this, would you have had any clue on the correct motherboard to purchase to run 8 cards? People ask here ALL the time on how to get x cards working on y motherboards, and most of the time it's just not possible. People see 6-8 PCIE slots and just assume it'll work, but in now way does it work like that.

A fool and their money....

There's your problem. You assumed something that is not stated anywhere in the listing. The seller guarantee's the components in the bundle will work together for a good OOBE mining setup. Not top of line components or the cheapest option. If you know what components to get on your own, then why didn't you do so?

Can you give me an example of any business in the world that allows you to only pay them their cost for products? I'll wait...

Maybe while you're at it you should contact your ISP and tell them they're charging you more than what it costs to provide you internet so you deserve a refund, or maybe mcdonalds too, because surely they are also charging you more than what it costs to make the food

You call for him to review his business model? Their current business model is selling product for more than what it costs them. You want them to sell products for what is costs them. That is not a business, welcome to capitalism, read about it

Noob,

For you this is probably a good deal.

This and many other mining message boards are crawling with noobs whining about how to get X cards working on Y motherboard. This company guarantees that what they sold you works with 8 cards.  FWIW, they are selling you an engineered package guaranteeing a certain performance.  This is the value they add.

 I've probably invested at least 30 hours in working out how to get the motherboards I use setup and working with information from this and the ethereum forum mining board.

The sensible way to view this experience is to figure that the extra $200+ that you spent saved Z amount in your labor.

If you were going to expand, the cost of adding additional miners just went down because you were shown the correct MB settings and the operating system setup with this configuration.

I think it's somewhat of a scam on your part to demand that people who sell their expertise to charge little or nothing for their time. Your time is certainly not more precious.

Its your job as a consumer to do due diligence before you buy.
GPU shack extra cost is for a few reasons -->

1. its a package deal, you get all your parts at once.
2. If you use ethOS, they GUARANTEE that all hardware will work. AKA they will chat with you, provide support, etc.

GPU shack is for lazy people who want everything at once.
If you wanted 'top-of-the-line' stuff you should have gone and picked everything out yourself.

He provides a service. You didn't just get a Mobo. You got mobo, SSD, ram, CPU and ethos. Could you have gotten it cheaper on your own? Sure but you didn't. It's hard for people to figure out what motherboards to use. He provides a service making a simple plug and play bundle. You knew what you were buying.

This is stupid, you decided to buy, you were delivered exactly what you were promised, on time and in perfect working order.  You have no basis here and are just complaining because you want some money back.

I have ordered many bundles from GPUshack and they have always been delivered on time and with exactly what I ordered, how many companies can you say do this in the bitcoin space currently?  I will continue to buy from them.

The site sent you what he was promoting right ? So if the price is fair or not is totally fall on you you should have price check anything before buying it

not after you do buy . Ya the deal is terrible but I am afraid nothing you can do here .

While you are correct in that it's a terrible deal, you were the one purchasing the pack in the first place. You could've just bought components somewhere else.
