well merry fricking christmas
it should be safe to use Hashco as long as you dont do auto withdraw though.
Thanks for all that info, we can always count on you to be thorough.

This crypto currency fad has turned more into a mini revolution which is pretty awesome.
I will miss out of this whole experience because I simply have no interest in it and can't figure out why.
When it is all over I will regret it none the less.

For me it was just another excuse to build a nicer PC. It's actually a good way to get some extra income/pay off some of the PC build if you are smart about it. I've mined over $2,000 worth of coin on a $2,000 computer in less than a month. So essentially I have got the PC for free!

$2,000 from the hashrate of three 290s?
Posted on 12/27/13 at 1:58 pm to ILikeLSUToo
Correct. I have over 2 million DOGE right now and have also built up nearly half a BTC from auto-selling random coins. DOGE is selling on the forums for 8 to 10 bucks/10k right now.

You're math seems off but none the less, if i've bought into Tahiti/Hawaii cards earlier then I might be mining. I only had a single 7950 for a spare to do this. All my other cards are Keplers GK104 and GK110s.

I'm all for building multiple rigs and going all out. That is my main interest, building rigs on every hardware release and all in different form factors.

So people are paying double what it's trading for? Odd.

Man, I can't tell you how much i appreciate you taking the time to do this. I basically went with all of your recommendations. I went with the SLI'd 780's (although i found them cheaper on newegg than NCIX. 489.00 vs 499.00 and thats before the rebate). I also switched to the black pearl version of that same fractal case. So my costs (after I used some large amazon gift cards I got for christmas) was only 1625 for this build: LINK
I've read your huge PC building guide and hope to make this a future hobby for me and/or my son. I guess my only questions now would be if I needed any other cables or hardware for building the pc or do the parts come with what I need. I saw in your write up that you mentioned some cheap Korean 1440p monitors but i'm leary of going that route. Do you have a recommendation?

Nope my math is dead on. See links below.

There is a bit of a premium over selling them for BTC or LTC on one of the exchanges.

Don't be.
Multiple posters here are running Korean IPS 1440 display and have purchased multiple from multiple users. I have 4 Koreans myself, 2 Crossovers, 1 QNIX and 1 Shimian.

eBay or Amazon?
It will be hard now I would think, simply because of it not being Tahiti.
What is the list price? Seems like they are selling around $200, no?

Amazon for $210. I may take the listing down

Why? Just lower it to $199 for a few days.
If you really want to sell and then upgrade leave the listing up. That is what I love about Amazon, no posting fees. Just leave an item up forever at the price you want for it.

It says your listing is posted @ $249 not $209.
Make sure you click save after changing your listing price.
Posted on 12/27/13 at 2:40 pm to LSU Coyote
I just did that. That's my way of removing the listing unless someone is that dumb . I don't want to put any money out for an upgrade right now but if they are dumb enough to pay $250 then ill sell.

Glad I could help. I'd only chosen the white case because I was assuming that you chose that Corsair based on looks (including the white color). And if you find a case you like better, don't feel obligated to stick with the Fractal Design case. It's universally regarded as an excellent case, but there are plenty of high quality mid-towers under $100.
Cable-wise, you should be fine. Your motherboard will come with all the SATA cables you need, as well as an SLI bridge for your 780s. Your PSU will have PCIe cables that support both 6 and 8-pin power connections. The case supports 2.5" SSD installation in all the 3.5" drive bays I believe. The only thing you might want to consider purchasing is some better thermal paste. The Hyper 212 EVO comes with some that's adequate, but buying aftermarket TIM might shave a couple of degrees off CPU temps. Even some arctic silver 5 (available at your local radioshack) would be better than the stock TIM.
Don't be leary of the Korean monitors. I know they look sketchy as hell -- broken English overseas eBay ads for a brand you've never heard of
, but the panels are LG and Samsung (specifically the QNIX that linked a couple pages back is a Samsung panel). I own a QNIX myself (an older model QX2700 with an LG panel). It's beautiful. Also, unless you're certain you want a matte screen, I would look into the glossy versions (assuming you won't be using the PC in harsh lighting). Haven't seen a matte Korean monitor in person, but I've read mixed reviews about them. Some people prefer it for gaming because the gloss gives them a headache after a while, but others think it looks too grainy. Also, if you live in the Baton Rouge area and need any help with the build, let me know!

Crossover is by far my favorite. They all use the same IPS panel from LG so the displays all look the same once calibrated.
The reason I love my CrossOvers are because the stand. It is by far the most stable, sturdy and can go into portrait or landscape. My other Koreans do not offer different orientations.
Matte is Matte, I don't think I could ever go back matte after using glossy displays. The only way would be if I absolutely need to because of strong ambient lighting.
