A litecoin mining machine isn't something you see every day, so I can't wait to see some pictures. Something I have to ask though, are you sure that is 0.08 cents per KW/h and not 8 cents? That just seems excessively cheap.

Is how that how I wrote it? If so, that is wrong :P It's 0.8 cents per KW/h

That seems a little less insane, though you still do have really cheap electricity costs.

Well, Litecoins are in terms of killahash's. So, this machine will get about 2500KH/S, or 2.5GH/S in Bitcoin speak.

I have looked into that market so much lateley. :D

 

But the market is changing so fast. maybe mining is inefficient in 1 month from now.

 

I view it as a chance to pay off the cost of my hardware. I'll try to add a 2nd card later, pay that off, get a new PSU, pay that off. Until mining get's inefficient because of electricity cost. (at least for me)

 

In the end you maybe didn't make any moiney but you have a big pile of hardware that's pricy.

Eventually, I will try to switch over to something like Feather Coins or something else. But, that's only if LTC becomes inefficient.

That's because Bitcoin is a lot harder to mine. Like I said, this is for Litecoin, so use the correct calculators.

Why only 4gb of ram

Cause, that's all that is needed. A mining rig doesn't need much ram. Just GPU power

So how is the temperature on the GPUs? It seems like having all those cards so close together can't be that good cooling wise.
