Server/Mining Rig:

I built this custom desktop pc at the end of the 2017-2018 school year. Much like the scrapyard computer, it is built out of reused parts from computers I had previously built and also contains parts from ebay.

The purpose of this computer is to remain on constantly, and host servers for a couple video games my friends and I play. It also mines ethereum at around 47 megahash per second. You can view the mining performance here. At the June 2018 difficulty and price, it mines about $12/week without factoring in electricity costs.

Both of the graphics cards in this pc have been significantly overclocked with a memory boost of 550+ mhz.
