How did you turbo boost your jalapeno with $125?

Chips are/were going on Ebay for $22 a chip+3 shipping or so. 4 chips is about $100.

Then I needed to buy an ATX power supply, $25 there. I have the Aoyue air heat SMD rework station, and I did have to spend $5.00 for a tube of flux.

With all that I plan to put two more chips on the Jally CPU board, fire up and test, then add two more to the other side so I am running 6 chips in a pair of 3 row maticies.

The issues are power (solved by the bigger power supply, the power supply sold as a part of this is a joke, need 12 volts at 8 amps or so at least) and heat. I'm going to put the resuting system in the shed for the winter (in case it burns up) but I think the fan plus <40 F temps should keep it under 65c (which is what the um... singles seem to run at).

We shall see.

Indeed, 300mh is pretty much useless. Right now I'm turbo-boosting my Jalapeno from 5gh to 24gh for about $125. Should be able to double my money on it, but that's about it.

It's a hobby that is paying for itself. I've made back my purchase price on my Jally, I got to overclock it and pay that off, now I'm going to toss another pair of chips into it and see what happens. Best case I pay off my investment on my Aoyue air tools.

If it fails, no big loss.

Profit, mining is suppose to boost my income and not reduce.... Since now the Bitcoin price is increasing I have a better time break-even since I paid in USD....

Mostly I mine because around here the best I can get is part-time work at some piddly 7.25hr, mining offers a significant boost to my income.

My calculations tell me I can make more money selling my BFL SC Single on eBay than by mining, but I just can't bear the thought of parting with it! So I guess my real motivation must be for the fun of it. I love being a Bitcoin miner!

For profit! Turned out mining wasn't the way to go about it :-P
Would have made a dew quid by now I'd I hadn't been scammed outta 8btx when they were at $130 :-(

Haha, same here, never knew mining would have been like this....

For profit, but looks like the more people aiming for the profit, the worse it is....
