Carter takes a critical and tactical deep dive on the cost associated to cryptocurrency mining. This application can be applied to ANY currency that is applicable mining with GPU/CPU at any scale (1 rig to 1000+)
DISCLAIMER: Cryptocurrency can be volatile, do your research! This video is to give you insight on the cost elements associated to fixed/variable agnostic to the volatile price of crypto. i.e. back in the day in early mining of bitcoin, it was far from profitable, however people still did it. Those early adopters believed in the system and invested into its success by maintaining the network.

Litecoin Mining Rig Indoor & Outdoor Analysis
So the BBT team put together a standard mining rig around two Gigabyte non-ghz edition 7970 HD's and collected some temperatures indoor and outdoor (winter) sub freezing to see if the ambient temps really do matter. Some interesting findings both on the power and effects on the rig when the entire computer was placed outside.
Rig stats:
eVGA 1300W G2 Supernova Power Supply
P8P67 Asus Rev 3.0 Motherboard
Intel i5 3570k Processor (1155s)
8gb Corsair Ballastix (2x4gb DDR3 12800)
120gb Sandisk SSD
2x Gigabyte 7970HD non-ghz edition 1000mhz core
13.9 Catalyst Drivers
Windows 7 x64

Vlog for 6 APR 2017 - Tutorial style walkthrough on cradle to grave walkthrough on EthOS 1.2.0
This Linux distro is used for Ethereum, ZCash, Monero, DCR and more Cryptocurrency Mining. This leverage's the latest efforts in the scene allowing for multiple choices of which mining client you want to use "Ethermine, Claymore etc"
Bottom line, think of a light client, vs having a full windows box + license.

In this episode the BBT sets out and builds a 6x 750Ti rig and trys to stay under 500w for TOTAL system power when hashing. Additionally the team walks through end to end on the build from installing windows, to the driver and the settings.
NOTES: BEFORE LAUNCHING CUDAMINER, Launch CHROME (it can just set on default screen, has a 10-12 k/h increase
We were able to do this by not modifying the TDP and staying with stock values provided by the MSI Twin Frozr graphics card.
Base configuration used in this build:
BBT 6 GPU Open Air Mining Rig (v.2.0)
Intel G1820 Celeron CPU
1x 1x by 16x 30cm ribbon riser (powered, plugged in) Flyconn Brand
5x 1x by 16x 15cm ribbon risers (non powered) Flyconn Brand
4gb Corsair Ballistix DDR3 12800
Kingston 120gb SSD
6x MSI Twin Frozr 750Ti 2GB (nVidia)
1x eVGA 750w Supernova

and not mentioned, install Chrome and launch prior to starting mining!

BBT Team branching out to include quick 1 min. pro tip non-narrated straight and to the point video's.
Just bought your HTC VIVE and having problems getting it setup? More than likely you have a SLI or CROSSFIRE Setup and are trying to use the second card's HDMI.
The VIVE like the primary graphics card HDMI slot so that requires you moving your monitor to Display port or a DVI connection! All of our links for Amazon are associated with our affiliate store

In this episode the BBT sets out to identify if two different PC configurations yet, same graphics cards running the same CGMiner settings and drivers really matter when hashing. The overall goal was showing no-matter what the difference between the rigs, settings/card overall ruled the setup. Both rigs locked in successfully @ 2.815m/h. Noticeable difference came from one rig was set with fans @ 100% other had fans set to auto... the machine with the auto settings ran significantly warmer.
As for the Ebay Link for these rig:

Using settings
-w 256 --intensity 19 -v 1 -g 1 --lookup-gap 2 --thread-concurrency 24000 --gpu-engine 1100 --gpu-memclock 1500 --gpu-powertune 20
Power requirements right around 1020AC to 1155AC, single 20A circuit
