It's best to stick to using full size systems and one of the graphics cards listed here: https://new.nicehash.com/profitability-calculator |
Your not wrong there, my Macbook is living proof of that, I had to send it away to have the gpu chip replaced for that very reason.
Following this thread with interest.
Is it possible to build a rig into a proper pc case or is it usually Frankenstein'd? I have a silverstone TJ-07 case thats never been used sitting in the loft.
Also surprised to see they don't use liquid cooling for quietness and maybe heat recovery to be used for the house?
