Any luck getting 5/6 290's to run on a single rig?

This is flat out wrong. an 8 ton will adequately cool the 55000btu this farm is producing. read: through-wall not in-wall. Did OP mention what he's paying for electricity costs? The water cooling setup would eventually cost less, but it would have to be close to a year depending on OP's...

This is not for bitcoin mining, but for litecoin/scrypt mining which is more resistant to those type of devices (as such, none are available yet). Nobody mines bitcoins on gpu's any more.

hah, I wish they had an affiliate program I'd be sending so many haters there I could retire.

You should consider a through-wall air conditioner (ie: condenser outside) that can do about 100k BTU (this will give you room to grow, and it will be more efficient at 50% duty cycle than a 50K BTU at 100% duty cycle). a 100K BTU through-wall air conditioner setup will run you about $3500...

Yeah seriously, I thought the forum auto scaled them! updated.

debian bench: debian fio: About in line with 4k writes seen in windows, ~55k/s random 4k write!

I'll put centos on it and do some linux benchmarks too.

Just got 8 evo 1Tb drives, set them up on an (admittedly bottlenecked) dell H710 - in an R720 host. Current setup is R6 w/8 drives (~5.45TB available, 128kb block size). The end use for these drives is as an esxi host datastore, so it will be running several databases and webservers on a...

I just got 8 1tb evo's, they're every bit as good as the 840pro's, better in some respects. Write endurance hasn't been measured by anyone yet to my knowledge.

Well, here's the deal: 34x 2Tb sata drives on 2 controllers (set up as non-raid) and put into a soft raid 5 with 1 hotspare array in linux (likely centos). Firstly, should I be concerned about using non-enterprise class (ie: no TLER) if it's not on hardware raid? There will be a good amount of...
