MOBO: ASUS TRX40
HD #1: M.2 SSD 1TB NVMe Samsung 980 PRO PCI-Express
HD #2: HDD 6TB Storage Drive 128Mb Cache

I'm literally salivating right now.
Ordered it this morning. Should be here in a couple weeks. w00t!

I did stick with the 3090ti. The 4090 is tempting, but not really worth the extra $$.

Nice, I thought you already got it. You could mine crypto with that graphics card, (if you wanted to do something like that lol)

looks like your 3090ti does $0.57/day

Sounds interesting, but I it'll be strictly for engineering, rendering, and animation. Gotta keep it separated.

yeah, If I had your computer I wouldn't risk overheating it mining.

I bet it'll be fun putting together if you still have to do that

I might be tempted to run some mining on the old one, which has a 2080ti. How much would that make per day?

2080ti does $0.34/day, not that much. Seems like mining is only good when you have a bunch of them doing $0.34 a day rather than just one.

It's a lot to get going for just $3 a week lol

I'm ok with being $3 a week poorer.

It's such a huge investment with a lot of risk and marginal profit.

And are the returns less and less with time?

If the price goes down yeah; if the price of the token goes up then the total of what you're mining goes up in amount per day mined.

Most of the people mining already believe that one bitcoin equals one bitcoin. Or one eth equals one eth, and dollar amounts don't matter; the amount in crypto matters.

I don't think mining on a personal computer is worth the risk because if it overheats the computer you lost way more because you need a new computer.

Plus you need to calculate how much extra electricity it's taking, so overall if the mining operation isn't industrial large size then it's not worth the risk.
