Using PV is quite popular for mining. This guy converted his shed into a solar-powered mining farm: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9AmMV-Bmhh8

They're basically desktop machines in a folding case. I used to use them as portable Hyper-V hosts running Windows Server. I've got three of them just sitting about now so its most vexing they won't even run it. Trying a dual Xeon gaming PC with a GTX 960 now... |

That solar powered rig is very cool indeed

It won't recognise the GTX960 either

That certainly is a hefty looking laptop!
The GTX960 looks to be supported. Try updating the drivers.

Seems like this stuff just wants a random pile of junk rather than a complete working machine
This works fine apparently: Currently running at $1.52 a day. |

Looking good. The pile of junk appearance is very in-keeping with the mining ethos. Now you just need a few more cards, dangling from risers, to increase that daily rate. I've just ordered a couple of 1080 Ti cards today at an eye-watering £650 each. They should make close to £10 per day between them however.

Is there much performance impact from running an x1 to x16 riser? I've got 1x1 and 1x16 on this board so I could at least get another 960 on it. The Xeon board has 2x16 and 2x8 though so I could get four on that if I can persuade it to work. It might have just needed a clean OS install. Not sure there's much point powering a pair of Xeons though since the Core2 Quad on this machine is just idling.

Can I ask why you went with that choice of card, looking at the calculator would say otherwise or am i missing a key factor?

Depending on which Xeon CPUs you have there, you can probably mine with those too. You won't make a lot from them but they'll probably cover their electricity costs (just). Unlike GPU mining though, other applications may suffer reduced performance while CPU mining. I often run NiceHash when I'm setting up new servers for customers as a kind of soak-test. It gives the CPUs, fans and PSUs a good workout and confirms everything is stable before I start installing and configuring everything. I have a HP ProLiant DL360p Gen8 on my bench right now. Here's a NiceHash screenshot of its workout a couple of weeks ago: I calculated the electricity usage to be a little over £1 per day, so I was making a small profit.
