Do you think it'll ever be worth it again? Wasn't into doing it but I guess you never know.

Nope, since it got hacked its just falling, I remember I mined for a week when it was at 19$ and made some cash but its not worth it now, Crypto mining is not worth it and even at when ethereum was at a high price the profit was close to none. Go get a job it will work better.

I was just trying to save you some time, Crypto mining is not profitable anymore.

I was in no way trying to do this, if you read the question, you can see that I didn't even know what it was. I would never try something not knowing what it was. Anyways, I like your test bench you should paint it black, would look nice.

Dope, I followed the thread. I may make a test bench myself. 

Yeah its cheap and effective, Once I get the water loop set up and OC the chip to as high as I can I will install it in a proper case
