the 650ti boost though would actually have been a pretty huge upgrade for another $30.... dunno, the graphics card labeling scheme is pretty retarded, as it sounds like it wouldn't be :shrug: 




Yeah, yeah, yeah. I could have gone with the boost, but just had to draw the line somewhere.  And I actually ended up getting my 650 ti for just under $110 after rebate. So the gap, for me at the time of purchase, between the ti and ti boost was somewhere between $45-50.

Haha fucken nice.

Definitely get an SSD next. Prices have been steadily dropping.
I'd recommend 120GB at minimum for your OS/few games or whatever. 240GB is getting cheaper though and would be good.
As for brand.. Intel or Samsung or Corsair :thumbup:

Milk crates make a great case for about $6. It also has plenty of air-flow. ^.^



This guy has 4 video card to mine LTC, but it would still work.





I'm probably going to set up an LTC miner in a crate with something similar, but plan on spending around 1k on the GPU's alone.

I've been thinking about doing the same myself.
Shame that Nvidia GPUs suck at mining. Oh well, can't have it all.

Doesn't seem too lucrative if miners are using milk crates as cases. :ifyoucanawe:

Shit, most mining systems I've seen don't even use cases at all. They have them sitting on a rack or something.

But the payout comes later..

Yah, Honestly I figured they were the best in all regards until doing a bit of research.

:themoreyouknow:

I spent all day learning about cryptocurrencies, because my knowledge was sub-par to say the least.

It increases the air-flow to the GPU's, especially if you have a regular fan blowing on it, you cant blow a regular fan inside of a case.

A bitcoin block is basically the same thing as the decryptor/encryptor program I wrote, but more advanced, it just moves the characters around at certain intervals, and you have to find the intervals by brute force, or trying them all until you find one that works.

It's getting to be about that time where I need a new computer. My current laptop is over 4 years old now and can't handle everything I want it to. I just need something more up to date for around $600-700, just on the tower, no periphs. Nothing too powerful, I won't be playing the high end games.


The last time I built an full computer from parts must have been 6 years ago, so I'm a bit rusty. I don't know which brands are best to go with, but I still know how to find parts that match and can compare specs.


On the other hand, I found a pre-built alienware machine for $700 (tower only) that will be going on sale for $600 around black friday. After reading some reviews and watching youtube videos, it seems to be what I need and I don't mind the mini case.

Alienware X51: DPCWXY01H (the basic unit for $699)



CPU:
i3-4130 Processor (3MB Cache, 3.40 GHz)

RAM:
6GB (1x2GB+1x4GB) DDR3L 1600Mh Non-ECC

HDD:
1TB SATA 6Gb/s (7,200RPM) 64MB Cache

Video:
NVIDIAยฎ GeForceยฎ GTX 645 with 1GB GDDR5



Now what I need to do is build a computer that has similar or better specs than this alienware. I tried a few days ago on newegg, but had trouble finding the matching parts and kept coming out a few hundred over budget.

Any help is appreciated, even if it's just recommending a motherboard.



Man in my personal opinion I would see if the cpu you want to use will work with the socket you have. but more importantly your gpu and memory matter most a gpu has 10 or more cores a cpu may have 8 and your memory may be 4 gigs but the gpu picks up the slack. If you get my meaning. Your MoBo is only limited by the bios and that can be hacked to take more memory and gpu so 350 to 400 watts in a case should work fine. Your processor actually means very little at the end of the day.

I should probably clear that up, haven't really brought this thread to closure yet. :lol:

So, my "table case" setup was used due to the actual case coming in the following day. I just wanted to get windows up and running with all the drivers and a set of my favorite must have programs, so I could quickly throw it all together the next day and have it up and running asap.

Gonna shut down to get some pics for yall. :grin:
