Hello,

I am planning to build an ethereum mining rig, http://www.thecryptomining.info/2017/04/6-gpu-ethereum-mining-rig-guide.html.

Does anyone know where can I get a case like this? Do I need to customize or can I get it from a shop in sim lim?

Also, anyone knows where can I get the mobo ASRock H81 PRO BTC? Can't find it in the pricelist

Looks like it's DIY. U can always get the metal from an old case (preferably aluminium case) and then mod it urself. Cheaper than going from scratch

bro.. have you check for the stock RX400 series at simlim?

I wanted to help my friend build gaming PC using RX470, but the shop said all RX470 and RX480 no stock...

Why is this mining so popular ?
More like wasting unnecessary resources and feeding greed.

Nvm, found the answer

Long time since I farmed cryptocurrency... This was my DIY rig which I built few years ago using Ikea and Daiso parts. Worked pretty well and open design made sure it had enough cooling. This thing could actually turn the room into a sauna if no AC was on. The rig is long gone but these I are some old pics I found.

Cost me maybe 45 bucks.

are you sure it's profitable? Singapore electricity is one of the most expensive. have you calculated when is your breakeven time?

Also, take note that current bitcoin price is all time high. It can go higher though, due to all the news and speculation causing everybody to keep adding real money to the cryptocurrency markets.

It may be easier if just speculate and buy and keep the ethereum or bitcoin, see again the price next year.

Who said my mining machine will be located in Singapore. :s13: I send one to Vietnam and one to Malaysia.
