      Hi Guys

      I am looking at building a Mining rig, I am very new to this, so please help me, I have a few questions.

      1. I am not going to custom build anything so first question is any recommendation for a CASE?
      2. What card should I use including brand, I was thinking 7950
      3. 3 card or 4 card
      4. If 3 card or 4 card can someone recommend a motherboard and CPU? And a power supply?
      5. I currently use GUI miner, but I see a lot of ppl using that script one, is it better what is it call?
      6. Anything else I need to be aware of?

      Thanks

        I think our mining-gurus are all in bed right now! :)

        I can only recommend you to use CGminer as miningtool!

        4x 7950 sounds great!

        You should get more help tomorrow from our mining-section.

            1. No case
            2. SAPPHIRE are just fine
            3. 3 because motherboard price
            4. Motherboard / CPU ( 64 bit ) most cheap you can find and PSU according needed electricity. Always add extra UPS not to hold the system up, but to protect the system.
            5. CGMiner + linux box
            6. Fallback internet connection + coolers ;)

              how much faster the GUI miner?

              anyone else with recommendation for set up?

              thanks
