For the updating('cause why not): Still going strong with the new hardware. Still planning on doing the RAM upgrade at some point but it’s an(increasing cost) $300 now. These miners need to stop hogging up the RAM out there. It started out a year ago at about $240. I’ll have to start up a new thread soon. I picked up a cheap T5600 and wanna have an adventure with it…
In the mean time:
Sometime in Late Feb, I grabbed a fairly cheap 2011 mac mini i7 2.7. Turns out I gambled poorly on that one. It slowly died over the next 5 months. Sent it out for repair and abruptly died 3 months after that. Think a capacitor is shot. I can hear it whining when power hits it. So it’s up on ebay now as parts. Already have a 130$ bid for it so I’ll at least be making my repair cost back and the RAM will go up for sale next. 8Gb (2x 4Gb) DDR3 1333 PC-10600 by Crucial.
Welp, that’s been my electronics adventure over this past year.
