because mining didn't need a computer.

Isn't a GPU PCI-based?
Yes but they are not built for the purpose of what we are using them for hence inefficent. It's like using a car engine to generate electricity sure you can do it but there's better engines to do that with. August 27, 2012, 12:35:57 AM

The cooling of my computer isn't the best. I don't want another heat producer inside it.
Besides, for the people who really want to mine big, the total number of pci/pci-e/whatever type of cards is limited to a very low number. usb goes up to 127 devices each controller.

I'm gonna guess and say USB controllers are cheaper and easier to work with than PCIe controllers. The KISS rule always trumps.

Ok stupid question considering you need a computer to run all current hardware to run any of the stand alone mining hardware.
Why hasn't any one made a PCI based card to mine coins?
Yes it's more power efficient but if you just plug a card into your computer that has a already being used PSU, why do I need to have another power leeching wall wart?
Is there any one that I could contact for such a thing to get one made to get the ball rolling? Maybe get a kickstarter program going.
If any one that is designing the Opensource hardware could we maybe get a vote going what style of hardware you'd prefer?
