Nice read thanks, I just wish Vogons would open a new tab instead of taking me there, when I closed the tab is when I noticed Vogons was missing, DOH....

If that was your thread then give up on bitcoin unless you got several thousand to spend on a decent asic setup. GPU mining is almost dead and cpu mining has been dead for years.

On a far away planet reading your posts in the year 10,191.

It is a cool system, if you have a use for it. Wonder how bad the power draw is.

That is the best dumpster find I have ever seen.

The powerdraw with two E5620 wll be "low". Not much more than a normal single CPU s1366 system.
I have two e5620s in my spare SR-2.
I like the dual socket 1366 setup so much that I had to have a spare motherboard 😀 I got the E5620s "free" with the board.

Even at stock speed those 2.4 ghz (2.53 all cores turbo) cpus will run all games perfectly.

Gross, I just threw up a little bit in my mouth.

Just pretend its one of those evil PC Chips/ECS boards that never worked right..... and/or a Pentium 4. There is plenty of crap to send to the crusher.

If you are squeamish, don't prod the beach rubble.

I saw the youtube movie, 1st my heart stopped a fraction.
But the PC is not old enough and this will eventually make our own stuff be more valuable.
Has a hard time on laptops though.

Might you want to fill you pc case and disguise them with hard stone bricks inside to make the shredder break or big lumps of blunt metal.

Still wondering what mobo setup and vga would have been in there and if one of those guys jumped in there themselves if they would be fractured like the pc pieces that came out 😉

yeah definitely not messing with bitcoin, it's too confusing anyways. Internet usage is far more concerning than power draw, since i keep it at computer shop. Stupid internet caps.

so far i'm just using it for, MineCraft, Tekkit Classic, Terraria and Team Speak 3. Where my old server was running at almost full load, this one barley taps out at 6%. 🤣 😈

I still don't get it why people bother with gold recovery? I was under the impression that it didn't pay out unless you operated with tons of equipment.

no idea, though from i what i understand scrapers get paid for the gold scrap and it all gets sent to a place that does nothing but, gold recovery.

It doesn't pay unless done on an industrial scale and can be dangerous without proper safety precautions but some people are too stupid to understand that.
