How much approximately does each of the crypto mining rigs you sell cost to run per day?

This varies depending on the speed (hashrate), electricity provider/tariff and GPUs being used. For example, a 500 MH rig with 4 x 3090s would use around 1.8Kw whereas a 500 MH rig with 11 x A2000s would use around 737w. There are lots of different factors to consider though and would be worth a conversation if you are interested in buying a rig. A general rule of thumb right now is to expect 1/3 of mining income to be spent on electricity in the UK.

Which rig is the most common one?

The 500 MH rig is the most common as it’s a good starting point. Most customers buy one to start with and then buy more or upgrade to the 1000 MH rig or purchase more once they are confident.

Other than Ethereum what other cryptos are they capable of mining?

Essentially, any cryptocurrency that can be mined by GPUs e.g. Firo (Zcoin) Cortext (CTXC) Ethereum Classic (ETC) Ravencoin (RVN) Ergo (ERG) Bitcoin Gold (BTG)

Do you have any specification sheets for each rig with more detail than the website?

Not really as it depends on the rig in question. Also, the actual GPUs will depend on the stock/availability/price at the time of order. There is a huge shortage of these parts which is driving up prices and limiting availability. If you are interested in a specific rig, I can put a spec/quote together for you.

What will happen when Ethereum 2.0 is released?

You will keep your earned ETH but will need to switch to another cryptocurrency like those mentioned in point 3 above. You can always mine another coin but then convert your earnings back to ETH, BTC or any other cryptocurrency you like if you wish. Our personal mining setup mines ETH but I diversify the earnings across a range of around 15 cryptocurrencies that I really like to help spread the risk and reward.

Octominer X8 ULTRA PLUS: Riserless 8 GPU Enclosed Mining Cases in the UK

Enterprise-grade enclosed riserless crypto mining cases and chassis from Octominer. £1200 plus VAT

Why choose Octominer?

We’ve been in the game long enough to have tried most crypto mining setups. From open-air rigs, to flatpack case assemblies to other brands offering complete case and hardware solutions, but none come close to the Octominer X8ULTRA PLUS.

Octominer X8 ULTRA PLUS

Key reasons why an Octominer X8 is the perfect choice for an enclosed mining rig:

The best quality you can get – The very best quality enclosed metal cases for ultimate protection of your hardware
Enterprise-grade server PSUs – from brands like Dell and HP you get platinum-rated hot-swap server power supplies (up to 4,200W combined) with breakout board and integrated cables for your GPUs
Riserless and fully equipped hardware – Spacious riserless motherboards with integrated Intel 1151 socket CPU and 8GB DDR3 RAM
Pluggable SSD – 60GB SSD pre-loaded with HiveOS and additional Octominer add-ons for monitoring your case and hardware
Powerful and quiet case fans – Automatic speed controlled Ventus case fans, 140x38mm, high CFM (240 CFM) and 3,200 RPM. Very quiet at 40-60% fan speed (1700-2100rpm)
Smart hardware – Hardware watchdog, smart fan controller (auto fan speed control, auto system reboot, and more) with Bosch environmental sensor for air pressure, temperature and humidity readings
Price – you will struggle to build a similar quality and specification rig for cheaper!

Power efficient platinum rated server psus

Octominer X8 ULTRA PLUS

In our opinion, the Octominer X8 ULTRA PLUS is the ideal choice for most crypto miners, especially those with more powerful GPUs who want to get the most bang for buck where space is limited.

The X8 is slightly cheaper than the X12, comes with a fantastic spec as standard and a wider triple slot width for GPUs (65.00mm GPU To GPU), meaning these will cover even the largest of cards such as the more powerful Nvidia 3080s and 3090s.

We use the X12ULTRA and X8ULTRA PLUS cases for the prebuilt GPU mining rigs we sell and can confidently say that an 8 x 3090 X8 ULTRA PLUS will hit nearly 1,000 MH. The cooling capability of the X8 ULTRA PLUS is exceptional and the case is significantly narrower than the X12. Its slim, sleek design will fit in almost any space.
