+1 for using a Raspberry Pi.

You might want to get a powered USB hub, just in case.

Most use cheap raspberrypi boards over a laptop, saves electricity as well

I love this idea! Thanx. If you have any good links about doing this please share.

Better wait for pics of their boards/chips before spending any more money. Did they even post a tape-out date yet?

I had an old netbook lying around so I use that to mine with my 20 USB erupters. It works great.

Does ram, cpu speed, gpu, etc. make a difference in my over all miner performance or can I buy the cheapest laptop?
Negligible difference, unless the cpu is so slow that it can't keep up with submissions.

Hi guys

I have a 256gh/s Fast-Hash One Base Unit on preorder and I am doing research on what laptop to get to host my miner.

Does ram, cpu speed, gpu, etc. make a difference in my over all miner performance or can I buy the cheapest laptop?
