Gutting A Computer For Parts To Build A Mining Rig

diy-electronics (43)in #cryptocurrency • 6 years ago

I got a computer to strip out for the parts to build a mining rig for altcoins. This is an old Dell computer which has a pretty decent looking after market power supply. I am building cryptocurrency mining rigs to pay for our bills at home. I hope to be able to live off the profits from the mining rigs.

This old Dell computer with three PCIe slots. I have been running out of mining rig parts and cash to build them so I have been salvaging anything I can get my hands on in order to get all my graphics cards mining.

I first pulled out all the wires and removed the power supply to give myself more space to work. Next came all the screws on the motherboard. This is a Dell so there are some odd screws under the CPU all the time. This took some work to get them out but I got them eventually.

When I got the motherboard out, I then started to assembly my new mining rig. This was only going to be a three card rig but every little bit helps when you are on a budget.

I have a frame that I built for the mining rig which works very nicely to hold it all together.

First I get Windows 10 installed on a rig and then install the graphics cards one at a time until they are all working. Often I will mine for a while with each card to make sure the mining rig is going to be stable. I often run into problems where a rig crashes or freezes at times. This is more often than not due to a faulty riser or a weak power supply.

Therefore it is much easier to build the rig one card at a time and test each and every addition before moving on to another card.

I used to put all my videos on YouTube but they cut my partner privileges as they did with so many thousands of other channels and took away my pay.

YouTube is not worth wasting my time on anymore.

Now I put my videos on DIY Tube Video Community where they pay everyone to interact. You can find them here: http://www.diytube.video

THE TRUTH HOW THIS WAR STARTED BETWEEN TROY REID AND I...
I have known troy since January 2012 and we were good friends until fall 2013 over a year and a half+. troy reid got severely mad when he was booted from a radio talk show hosted by AroundTheCabin.com back in summer 2013. He demanded I leave with him in protest. I said no because the owner of that site was a long time good family friend for nearly five years at that point and about 9yrs now I think.
So roughly 2 weeks later The radio show was contacted by a tv producer wanting to speak to me about making a tv show. It was called America Unplugged and later aired on the Sportsman Channel on national tv. I was episode 4. troy reid again was furious and DEMANDED I give up the show and tell the Sportsman channel to do it on troy reid. I refused obviously.
troy reid decided then that he was going to try and convince everyone I was attacking him and going to his home destroying his stuff in an attempt to get me kicked off the show. His goons even made videos claiming I was a pedo and more. Of course none of it worked and I had one of the highest rated shows on the series.
troy reid learned he could profit nicely off the drama and so for 5yrs now he has kept it up. troy reid has continuosly made false claims about me going to his home in Pine Bush NY several times per week to destroy his stuff. Of course it is all lies. troy reid has made a multitude of lies about me destroying his truck, tractor, tents, killing his chickens, knocking over his fences, and many other things.
One thing troy reid has never ever not even once shown, is a single shred of evidence of his claims about me or anyone else. troy reid says that he has said proof but has never shown it. troy reid has dozens of video and picture surveillance cameras up so he claims. Yet he cannot provide a single picture or video of me EVER on his property.
troy reid has used these lies of his to incite dozens of his hardcore followers to attack me on false pretense. I have actually had to get the police involved and have had a few of troy reid's goons arrested or given police order to back off or go to jail. It is all public record for all to see.
troy reid cannot produce a single piece of evidence to proof anything he claims about trolls attacking him at home or in real life anywhere.
The only thing troy reid can prove is that there are literally 1000's of people fed up with troy reid's lies, libel, slander, fraud, and theft among other things. And yes he can prove there are people here that are openly standing up to troy reid and his crap.
Anyone that has a difference of opinion from troy reid, makes claim that troy reid did something wrong, claims troy reid does not understand something, or just plain disagrees with troy reid is automatically in most cases deemed a TROLL by troy reid and all of their comments are deemed an attack against troy reid.
For once troy reid can you tell everyone the TRUTH why so many people are after you???
