Photoshop? Or is this one real? 

 

Joking aside: why are you going for Plexiglas instead of the metal plates? Don't get me wrong, it still looks awesome though 

Also, are those other/special GPUs? They don't look like your everyday run of the mill NVIDIA or AMD graphics card?

a lot easier to find company with plexi laser cutter than metal, also i want to build this from plexi anyway just for fun (i used 3mm thick plexi and its ok but for next build I will use 4 or 5mm for bottom and top panel

also i have new idea about replacing aluminium profiles - plexi profiles (should looks even better) 


gpus are - 12x gtx 1050ti kfa2 - you can remove fan without removing heatsink (3 screws only) 

stock - 12 gpus - 12 fans 0,25A each so 70% fan wil be about 1,7A = 21W

my case - 12 gpus - 5 fans 0,6A each but work on 8-9V so its consume about 0,3A or less = fan power consumption 10W 

triple win
1. less space
2. less power consumption
3. stock heatsink still brand new (advantage while reselling)

Damn that's pretty cool! Those cases are beautiful and super compact!

To be honest, I truly like the "industrial" look of the metal cases though 

But of course, it's 2018 and every case simply has to have a window, no? 

 

... still like the metal ones though...

Is a 1050 Ti still sufficient nowadays for crypto mining? What kind of algorith are you using then?

And you are using them without an overclock? Their 14 nm architecture gives them great overclocking potential, so why do you not OC them?

 

The 1050 Ti has 4 GB VRAM, which makes it suitable for mining Ethereum. On the other hand, the GTX 1050 comes with 2 GB VRAM, which means that it has no value for ETH mining whatsoever these days.

 

Sorry if these questions seem silly, but I don't have a lot of knowledge about crypto mining though

I like metal too, but i want to do sth different for now



1050ti are perfect for mining 
- low power (15,2mhash 54-56W) RX470/570 making 28,5 @ 110-115W
- almost 0 value drop so its good for reselling


on CRYPTO HYPE - 4-5 months ago rx470/570 was impossible to buy, and even if - price was 2x than 1050ti, now used rx470/570 cost 10% more than used 1050ti so better to buy 470/570 but i have cards already so i mine with them


ethereum can be mined at 4GB cards, BUT is a lot more coins which can be mine with even 2gb cards

I think UBIQ can be mined with 1050 2GB (hashrate the same as 1050ti 4GB)

And do all of your cards are 1050 Ti? Doesn't that limit your flexibility when you want to change your mining "strategy"?

The RX 470 and RX 570 are actually still quite pricey here, so they haven't gone down in price that much though. But indeed, the 470/570 seems to be better these days 

 

By the way, have you seen this? It's not in Poland, but still quits impressive though...

 

 

[duniek]

i had 60 1050ti and 50-60 rx470/570

but i sold a lot cards this month so 1050ti only 24 pieces

and rx470 - 48

Hello, what you are doing is wonderful. I want to make a vertical mining rig in plexiglass; except that I am not too skillful. Can you help me ?
