Heres a nice portable computer!
Or you could just go out and get a gaming laptop!

I'm glad most of figured out this post was meant to be "tongue in cheek", thanks for playing along.
Of course, but it would make a great case to mod and replace parts with a mini-atx.

Haha woah
If you know you can get away with it, then go for it mate. Just be wary of getting snapped ay. There is also the risk of someone thieving your rig.

Buy an Alienware M17X revision 1 or 2 (not 3) and run two 6990m. You should see around 450mh/s and possibly more depending how they overclock (I only have experience with 6970m)
Only 450mh from 2 6990s? Do laptop really burn out quicker, even if you take external steps keep it cool?

To bad if u had something like that someone would think its a bomb then you have yourself a lot more trouble then just stealing some power from work lol.
Have you lifted a rig with 4x GPU cards before? It's not something you want to take on the train with you during the commute.
It's not just the weight. Someone might call the bomb squad.
Yeah, once they see all of the led-lights, cables everywhere, and really loud fans going they're sure to notice the "convenient and portable work-briefcase-mining-rig with 4x 6990s". It's a bomb, run!
I was also planning to add a car battery (to make it portable) so I can move it around the office with me. Rolling work bags are all the rage right now. LOL!
You guys are great, thanks for all the awesome ideas!

loged onto extreme systems for the first time in like 6 months just to give that guy rep :p
if you work in cubicle type office, then your neighbors will be really pissed. Just bring some old laptops.
Old laptops will not give any mhash at all. maybe some khash, that's it. not worth the effort. here's an idea, I know it's crazy.. buy a mining rig and leave it at home while you are at work. wow!
But that wouldn't involve theft -- which takes all the fun away for some people.
As if running a computer to make free money wasn't great enough -- some people don't even want to "work" that much at it. They want free electricity.

Has anyone built a portable "suitcase" mining rig to take to work and plug in? Imagine 4 HD6990s chugging away for 10 hours a day under your desk, lol (keep your feet nice and warm). Of course you will "forget it" and leave it over the weekends.
Does a "suitcase" case exist?

I'm imagining that you have yet to own any real mining rigs and thus are not aware of the reality of the noise and heat they put out. Not to mention that >2 6990 cards in a case are rather difficult to cool, let alone a briefcase with 4 of them. Have you lifted a rig with 4x GPU cards before? It's not something you want to take on the train with you during the commute. Oh, there's also the "Yeah I left my $4000 rig at the office unattended and not locked up from prying ears and eyes."
Please, think before you post stuff like this.

Lets get serious. Really.
* This is about 1500 to 2000 watt heat. It wont heat you feet, it will heat most smaller rooms.
* It is LOUD. And no, you can not isolate this - unless you get LARGE for the noice cancellation. It will not be humming, it will be screaming away. I suggest trying out one 6990 before having obviously ridiculous ideas.
* At the end, it is theft. It WILL be found, you WILL be fired, you WILL be fined. Abnd it is quite a lot of theft - about 1.x megawatthours (1500-2000 kilowatthours).
I wish peiople would stop having outright stupid ideas. And maybe put some integrity back into their life.
+1
Yeah this case is damn good.
Back to the Idea:
This is bullshit, you can only handle such amount of heat in a small case with water cooling. I would also suggest not to invest into Bitcoin mining, unless you have the knowlegde and could throw the money away without any pain.
It is not a stable investment and if you really calculate your hourly wage, it isnt worth it. The reason why i mine bitcoins is because im a nerd. I love to build stupid fast computers and let them run. My boss knows what im talking about. He got a 100000 dollar bill from running Jugene for about an hour .
