Was i naive to try building a Mining rig in Europe? Part 2

in #mining7 years ago (edited)

Hello Steemers ;)

If you read my first post Was i naive to try building a mining rig in Europe? You will have heard about the difficulties i was having obtaining the parts i needed.

Well i am pleased to say after a longer than expected delivery time i finally received some of my goodies albeit a long time after the promised 5 days delivery.

Open case mining chassis for upto 6gpu

Where are my GPU's ?

I was right to be apprehensive about the order being delivered on the 30th of June, As i expected there would be delays. My supplier has given me a new date of the 7th June but to be honest I'm not too sure if they can fulfil that date either as they are not listing the MSI rx 570 4gb armor card on their website any longer. Hopefully the supplier can provide me with the cards at that date as i'm feeling like a child at Christmas with a new toy but i cannot play with it as i don't have any batteries.

I still need a PSU and some RAM however i will wait until the graphics cards arrive before parting with more of my hard earned cash.

Wish me luck guys. Have you had any problems building your rigs recently?

Nice dude! I've heard great things about those BTC motherboards, but yeah it's quite a pain to find graphics cards these days. All the miners are buying them all out, so all the good cards are sold out everywhere. Crazy

Thanks and yeah i've heard good things too about the motherboard but only time will tell i suppose. Even the motherboards aren't so easy to come by these days.
The frame seems pretty sturdy too and is stackable if i decide to get more in the future which is a bonus with limited space available.
