If power wasn't a concern would GPU mining really be dead? GPUs are still the only way to mine X11, X13 and X15, among others.
my humble little farm. nothing too fancy. utility room in action. got into ltc in june last year. got 2x5850, 2x5870, 4x7970, 6x290. now still hashing scrypts. just a hobby. concentrating on mining coins that are potential success with current low difficulty.
Don't know about you. my babies are still shining
Nice! My electric double for summer prices so that pretty much ended it for me. Not sure I'm going to hold them till rates drop again (probably not). Be proud if yours can live on!

what was the temp in the room ?
The temp in my room was 90-100 Fahrenheit in the summer. But I had enough A/C and fans to keep the GPU's around 75-80 Celsius. Worst problem I had was Sapphire Vapor X fan failures :S
I only just started back in March. I had been tinkering with the idea since back in August of last year. Boy do I wish I had just jumped right in and started. I would have hit it right before the big price increase and difficulty increases.
Now I'm moved over to x11 x13 x14 x15 grs dmd farming. It is hectic chasing profits. I think it'll be time soon to just put the GPUs on hold and use only the asics. Even those will be useless soon with all the other ones coming out.

Yup she was a pain when it would not work right, but had weeks of flawless hashing at times. I miss the old days of making over one btc per day.
I started with 12x 7950 saphires which I still have. It eventually grew into over 100 gpus with 7950's, 280x's and 290-290x's. I even had one 270 card just to play with.

I started with a single 5870 prototype back in 2011. Moved up to 4 x 5970 rigs (wish I had pics of them, but I dont) and it finally grew into me building a shipping container to use as a datacenter to host everything so my relationship would survive, lol... also didnt have the power or A/C in my house to host all the crap, lol.
Here is my farm I'm getting ready to say goodbye to...
GPU's were so much fun and so much of a pain sometimes lol. We really put ourselves into it. Goodbye GPU Farm! RIP

As my GPU mining farm slowly becomes obsolete. I figured it would be nice to have a thread dedicated solely to GPU's Rigs. This thread is for GPU miners who want to show their work to other GPU miners and talk about the good ol' days as we say goodbye to those GPU rigs that gave us so much frustration, happiness, anger, pride and tears as we built and maintained them throughout the years 
Post a bit about when/where you started, what you have now, if you have (had) a significant other, did they survive through the influx of heat and noise into your relationship
And anything else you might want to add. Most of all have fun fellow GPU miner's!
Note: This is not a thread saying GPU mining is dead... its just a thread for GPU miner's to post/share their rigs as they retire them. GPU mining is still very much alive.
