RE: My Solar Powered Bitcoin Mining Setup
This is a pretty cool homemade rig. I have actually been looking into the idea of setting up coin farms on Solar myself. Here in the US we have commercial suppliers of whole house systems that would be more economical (and safer) than a homemade rig. You might want to look into whether that's available in the UK?
haha sounds even more expensive than DIY that does mate, luckily for me I'm a qualified electrician so its all good, I know my wiring isn't the tidiest but look at all the mechanics driving cars that don't look fit to be on the roads. The ready to go systems will be good for those amongst us who are not comfortable playing with electricity, but id expect them to have a big markup which is only really good if you have deep pockets, I'd love to see a review of one of those setups if you have a youtube vid you can point me at please?
I don't yet, but I can certainly look around. I've been toying with options myself after seeing a tutorial from Lumbridge [dead link] I thought "hey I live in SoCal, I should capitalize on seeing how this would run on a solar rig"
the link doesn't show me anything mate, i don't know why but I've only just seen this comment :/
Well it seems as though the original source has vanished. Sorry about that. It was basically a description of how to use an inexpensive board, SSD, and risers to run 6 AMD R9390 GPU's as one mining rig.
Sounds like good reading matter, if you come across a working link for it please let me know.
I have no idea why but I'm not getting notifications of your replies, will have to keep checking my reply tab more often me thinks :)
reply notifications have been buggy since HF19, I just look for new replies every 15 minutes or so of my "active" day
It isn't quite the same thing, but someone created a pretty good rig setup tutorial here:

I, personally, would bump the PSU to 1600w and favor an AMD Ryzen setup; using the parts in my wishlist;

But everyone has a personal preference ...
