  I am the one that got the first "workstation/proof of concept PC" and I have to say this thing is a beast. The Xeon E5-2650 V3 CPU makes a perfect WS/Miner CPU you can be plotting and mining and still doing other normal days to day stuff. My machine has been running steady since I got it and it has not missed a beat. Haitch is a top notch guy, I am really pleased with my purchase and you can't go wrong getting him to build you a WS/Miner.

  @haitch I just finished building a workstation/proof of concept PC for a friend. His had a couple of additions over what I'm proposing - eg Dual GPU, 10Gb Ethernet ..... It's an E5-2650V3 Xeon in a consumer mobo. 10 Core/20 Thread, non ECC DDR. It runs like a champ, and would make a great desktop or mining build. I have a couple more of the CPU's and am happy to build more of these if anyone is interested: System Specs: Asus X99 Mobo Intel Xeon E5-2650 V3 CPU (10 core/20 Thread) with closed loop water cooling. Case: NZXT Mid Tower (11 x 3.5 Internal Drive bays) Corsair 750W Modular PSU 256GB Plextor NVMe PCIe OS Boot drive. DDR4 (non-ECC) RAM - tbd by buyer GPU - tbd by buyer Cost would be $900 + list cost of RAM + GPU + shipping. Other hardware upgrades modifications are possible. DM me. The system comes with NO HDD, just the SSD, but I can add 8TB White Label WD Reds for ~ $185 each depending on availability.

  @Jaxblack We have caught smurfs and gnome-like folk having dance parties on the CPU coolers with our security cameras ;D @HiDevin These Burst rigs are hiding from the noise and heat of the rest of our mining warehouse~ This is the only space we have that does not have adequate ventilation~ which the Burst rigs really don't need :) So we put it to good use . . . besides, something about hard-drives and safes, just seem to go together ;)

  I can sell you an old laptop if you want something cheap and simple to start with. It would be an old XP machine or something like that. I would just charge you for shipping and perhaps a beer. :)

  @eq , It's all good. I hit 4 Burst blocks yesterday, which is about twice my normal with the price rise that almost covered it.

  You can get a power strip surge protector that has wide-spaced outlets. I'm using a bestek 8-outlet desktop power strip with 2 outlets on each surface. Each two outlets can be controlled by independent switches. You can also get a swivel tap power strip that has swivel outlets, so you can rotate the outlet to any direction for larger plugs without interfering others.

  thanks @ChuckNorris Which miner are you using? If you're using some GPU assisted one, which GPU you have?:) You've said that you're using usb controller card with separate controller for each usb port. Which one - Sonnet Allegro Pro?
