Biostar Intros TB250-BTC D+ Motherboard for Mining Builds
Biostar introduced the TB250-BTC D+ motherboard for crypto-mining builds. This board appears to be a re-brand of Colorful C.B250A-BTC PLUS V20. This is probably a case of Colorful piggybacking Biostar to reach markets it cannot (yet). The socket LGA1151 motherboard supports 6th and 7th generation Core "Skylake" and "Kaby Lake" processors, with basic I/O connectivity, and a single DDR4 SO-DIMM slot. The star attraction here are eight PCI-Express x16 slots with 2U spacing between them. One of these slots is electrically x16, the other are x1 (you only need x1 for mining). There are also eight 6-pin PCI-Express I/O ports, so the x16 slots are powered. The board is 195 mm wide, and 485 mm long, designed for mining cases, or something miners put together themselves. It is expected to be priced around $150.

Just saying...
Heck, I see some in our B/S/T forum have that exact idea right now. :laugh:
I am unsure how anything hypocritical has been said.
And you know what? i'm happy with this lol
I've mined for 2 months with a bunch of cards. Apart from the noise it was a pretty boring activity. The money i got from mining was spend into trading. Trading can be nice if you know what you are looking for, and know when to sell stuff at the right moment. So i made a 200% profit on one particular coin. I was happy. I pulled out the money and re-invested this into another coin. The coin simply dove from 7200 satoshi (the point i bought into) back to 2000. My money just dropped 2/3th of it's worth in just a week.
I've left the satoshi in there, hoping it would get back. 2 months later, it's almost at that same number now. But here's the stupid thing. Since ETC dropped in value from 1400 to 400 now, the net worth of that coin also dropped, so even tho the satoshi is back at it's original level, my money is still worth jack shit due to the low ETH value going on right now.
I just leave it in there, but it's said that Crypto is very volatile. I woud'nt want to sell house or other stuff for it to invest.
