I have build a 6 RX480 mining rig, and listed on craigslist for days with nobody asking. So maybe i should put the post link here and see if anybody interested.
Build List:
CPU: Intel Xeon E3-1231V3
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws X 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3
SSD: SanDisk SSD PLUS 2.5" 240GB SATA III
GPU x 6: SAPPHIRE NITRO+ Radeon RX 480 100406NT+8GOCL 8GB
The build is not cheap and I still want to keep it for mining zcash if no good offer. Just want to share the rig with you guys and let me know if you want the 6 gpu frame (have one additional) and the risers (6+ available). Thanks for the advice!
Can you explain why you believe the rig is worth $6K? The cards are ~$250 each brand new. I think a fair value for this rig used is no more than $1,500, optimistically. Am I missing something?
Have a $50 celeron CPU instead of a $300-$400 Xeon
4GB DDR3 Ram max for $15 instead of 16GB which cost probably $100
A 128-256GB old spinner SATA hard drive for $5 instead of 240GB SSD
Ethernet cable connection for $1 instead of a Wifi adapter which uses up a PCIe slot. Why didn’t you use USB wifi adapter instead.
Basically take out the 5 480s GPUs sell seperately and sell the rest as a gaming rig which is what it is.
Ah, good point! Thanks.
Since I’m new to mining and don’t have much experience on building a cheap mining rig!
I don’t want it to be just for mining, maybe just explore the idea of how to build a not ugly mining rig that no-tech people would like to put to their home and let it run.
Anyway, thanks for the advice bro.
Right, but why do you think it’s worth 3500? Can you break it out for us? What about it makes it “not a cheap build” and where is the value for the customer at that price point?
yeah, i can make his build with 2k, this is way too much, no one will buy it from you, remember only because you spent 3k+ doing it when everything was at its max price, doesn’t mean you have to sell it at that plus some change money, you need to check actual price, not whatever number comes to your head for your efforts, for what you are selling i can make almost 2 rigs for that price, almost
