  1. If all else fails, id make every effort to scour eBay daily for parts. Someone may be parting one out or there may be damaged/defective ones for sale. Unfortunately with something like an iMac, screens are one of the more damaged things. Certainly someone will have a damaged one up for sale at some point or at least parting one out. Though I imagine it would not come cheap...
  2. Ryzen 3 2200G up for pre order: https://www.amazon.com/AMD-YD2200C5FBBOX-Processor-Radeon-Graphics/dp/B079D3DBNM/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1518416622&sr=1-1&keywords=YD2200C5FBBOX&dpID=31AsSQaK51L&preST=_SX300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch
  3. 8? Thats more than enough LOL And indeed there are mining motherboards. If the 2200G does at least 500 h/s it would be an excellent CPU for this board: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813138456&ignorebbr=1
  4. Obviously mining Ethereum would be out of the question but coins based on the cryptonight algo are not memory intensive. I dont think you understand how lucrative this really is, people build mining rigs generally use a $50 celeron CPU. That CPU will never ROI itself and will never do anything for you beyond run your rig. With these, and the readily available mining motherboards for only $80, it would make an excellent base CPU for a mining rig if it were actually able to pull some weight. A much better alternative to the classic celeron people use, and much more powerful as well. Basically the chip would be like have an extra GPU in your system, and would pay itself off and then be all profit after about 3 months.
  5. No way an i5 bottlenecks a 1050ti. Its just not a powerful card.
  6. No way, Ryzen 3 will sell out instantly. Ive already got some $25 AM4 boards (and some $21 EVGA PSU) from newegg to see what I can get out of them mining wise. Of course i expect some reviewers will release this info on Monday. I expect Ryzen 5 2400G to stay in stock a bit longer as its a worse (cost 70% more for at best maybe 25% better perf) value in terms of mining performance. Its true that for some Algos like Ethash it will perform poorly (if it could even allocate 3 GB ram) due to memory bandwidth issues but other algos like Cryptonight might be much better. Realistically we might see 250 H/s on the Ryzen 2 2200G's CPU and at least the same on the Vega GPU, so at least 500 H/s. With both the CPU and GPU being unlocked I expect at least 550-600 H/s total out of the 2200G. Remember Vega 64 is good for at least 2000 H/s and the Vega 8 is 1/8th of that power so 250 H/s at least. An easy 500 H/s total for the $99 APU. If its shown that the $99 2200G does 500-600 H/s cryptonight it WILL sell out overnight. Thats in between RX 560 and 570 speed, closer to the 570. Then you can slap it in an $80 TB350-BTC board to add 6 more GPU's. Absolute no brainer to use as a mining platform CPU. Mark my words, this CPU isnt for anyone but miners who will use it as the new base CPU in place of celery's that never ROI. $99 for a CPU that will ROI itself in under 3 months is excellent right now. As soon as I confirm this CPU is a decent performer I will buy many of them, believe it. People recently spent a lot more($1000-1200 per server) on servers that do 2000 H/s total but consume a lot more power (500 watts or more) and have little to no expandability. https://www.cryptunit.com/ 500 H/s is good for $1.3 a day right now.
