So this is the prototype a friend has made that holds 8 GPUs, which will work well with the 16x 8 way splitter that is currently under development. This is NOT a final design and there are already a few things I want changed, but it's progress in the right direction. Welded aluminum frame and we're shooting for a selling price of $100 worth of GPUC.

Do you know what risers you will need for GPU in this setup, how long? I think more than 35cm.

although it looks nice, if it stays like that there will be major electrical problems (short circuits) as the motherboard is on an aluminium plate and might as well electrocute the user if it touches the frame also in aluminum when the power is turned on and the motherboard start to burn.
I think you have to make that the frame is grounded to avoid these sort of problem.
(you might want to check the regulation in north America before putting this on sale)

Plastic risers for the motherboard (I use cut up bic pens) It is what we all do.

There is ABSOLUTELY no reason to not having a thin plastic mat under the
motherboard. Yeah, I'm going to trust the exposed bottom of my motherboard
to some rigged plastic risers. Soon as I install more ram or touch anything,
flex, metal to metal fried hardware. This should be made out of plastic, hell,
you can buy plastic garage stackable storage shelving for cheap and hang the video cards
without having to worry about a metal frame.
Enough with prototype framing already. Show and sell us some cards!

sure you could, but I do not think the software (OS or miners) will support more than 8, so even with the cheaper cards, and lower power, it is maybe break even, but not better. NOW if we could put 12 GPU on one motherboard and a couple of PSU maybe.

I think what the nvidia cards means is that the big brothers will be serious competition when they come out. The 750 is not sothing that in itself really matter.

My 2 cents.

There is ways you can support more than 8... not easy.. yet, but possible. There will be some interesting things happening that's for sure.. for now I'm amazed that 750 can be powered by just PCIE connector power. This means the actual hashing potential of Maxwell is going to be extraordinary perf/power.

not cheaper at all.
to gain the same hash as you would with amd cards, you'd have to buy more ram, cpus, motherboards, and psus.
while it may save on power, the cost to buy and run all that extra hardware will skyrocket you bills, UNLESS, your only wanting a single small light mining rig.

That's why i said "if you have access to PCIE splitters".. with splitters you can in theory put a lot more GPUs onto 1 chassis.

Has anyone installed vertminer on smos 1.3? I've installed it already from the tips on the smos website but have no idea what to do from here, do I cut and paste different text into the existing cgminer .conf file? Thanks!

Might just be me but how come all these frames never have a way to keep the wires organized? Could be a large sell point..for me an others like me who like there rigs to look more professional than a mad scientist's workshop

So the easiest way to change what the coin is currently trading at is for the DEV to set the price of 1 GPU coin.....if 1 gets us a $435 Dollar Graphics Card than it will sell for $435 worth of BTC..possibly more...

Then the store would never have any inventory? :p

Well of course it wouldn't 1 GPUC per physical GPU but you get my point. These guys have the opportunity to make their store more successful than NewEgg or TigerDirect just by telling us what we can buy with their own coin. Regulation doesn't exist in this market so price fixing would benefit them and the community. We would mine to get more hardware and they would get more sales by us continuing to mine and trade...

I am thinking no one can buy the gpu except whaler or ipo. cause those guy/gals has a lot of gpuc. I don't think it is worthly mining right now if I want to get 270, I have to wait for at least 2 month in order to get one 270 (x) . Sad

Since you have access to splitters..

I strongly suggested using Nvidia's 750 Ti.. better perf/power and cheaper too.

Just plugged in one of these myself.. it runs right off of PCIE power, no external connector needed @280mh/s scrypt .. amazing! You can get 4x for price of R290.

N-scrypt or plain ol scrypt?

I'm getting 305kh/s reg. scrypt, and get about 145kh/s scrypt:N

How do they perform on GPUcoin.

And from the FWIW front. Tom's report on LTC mining with the 270X isn't even close. They show 302 kh/s. Mine do 470kh/s and my friend's 270s will do 440kh/s. Why would they post such bogus numbers? Is it just to make the 750ti look better?
