I have a colossal desktop/server rig that was given to me as retired scrap from my employer and I wanted to mine Monero on it for investment, not monthly profits. I use it now to CPU mine shitcoin and as a hyper-v, it has alot of utility so I want to keep it. Plus its too damn heavy to move so it is staying.
It's got 2 pci-x16 slots and a pci-8x slot which I have a riser and a crappy GTX 1050 ti on standby for later.
But I want to get a couple of badass cards to put in those 2 onboard slots. This will just be a 3 card system as I want to keep it all in the tower (open side panel though). Once monero is too hard to mine, I will move to a shitcoin.
My budget is $300 per card (need 2 cards). Fast as possible! Don't care how much power it burns. I do care about how loud they are, as wife will get aggro if too loud.

Processor: Dual Quad core Xeon 2.0 GHz
