    You just need a really big PSU.

    Could you give me the links to your mining frames?  I'd like to see what they're like.

    Hmmmm.... One is the same one(s) that Ian&SteveC runs. Don't know if I can find a link but I can ship it to you after I disassemble it. 

    For FREE ???   Can you send me a picture of it before you dissect it, I mean disassemble it ??

      George,

      I can do the picture. But I am planning to use masking tape with letters (hook A to A) etc to make possible to reassemble. Because I am not sure where the manual is.

      And this really is off topic.

      The new MB I bought seems to have a bad primary slot. So my two gpu is going to get another transplant.

        This is similar to the one I have, it looks a bit more sturdy than mine:

          Thanks for the link.  I watched the videos and I seem to be watching the same "how to" videos over and over.  I think I could get by without Tom's 'insert tab A into slot A'.  I was a mechanic for nearly 30 years before I went to teach automotive techology at the local community college.

              Oh my... 

              Could you possibly measure the longest piece for me?  I need it to be no more than 30", otherwise it wouldn't work.

              .....[EDIT].....

              i didn't realize that there was that big of a difference in the lengths.

                If you don't need more than 4 memory modules this looks like a good deal.

                  And here's another problem with cpu's and Projects that use numbers like Einstein, Prime Grid and probably EVERY OTHER Boinc Project and that is why trying to use pc's to make things make sense in Science isn't always as easy as easy as one might think!

                    Thank you for sharing. It takes me back to some of my few computer science courses.
