Hey

The wiki on suggested mining rig hardware is very useful but it's very us-centric. Anyone out there got some good suggestions of hardware and a good vendor to buy it in the UK.

I was hoping to build something like the dual 5970 rig described in this thread (he's getting 1.2Ghash/s - 700 watts). I might buy the rest of the system (case, psu etc.) new and then try and buy the video cards on the cheap second hand.

cheers

why not get r9-280x or R9-290 instead?

Cause it's not 2011 any more!

Does 2011 have anything to do with new graphic card?

I suggest not buying anything from cex.io, their maintenance is high and they are overpriced..

Why settle for the lesser evil?
