I have a KZbin channel about fishing and rod building. It is a small channel and I was keeping the earnings there for a new camera. I been watch you for a while now and decided to build my first rig and start another channel to show my progress. Thank you so much for all you have shared with us.

[@TheHobbyistMiner]

Way to go!

[@DjMines]

Great video Hobbyist. I bet this will help a lot of newer miners. Also they should keep on my mind that the prices of gpus could potentially continue to drop from here. Be patient and welcome to mining

[@TheHobbyistMiner]

Thanks for the support brother!

[@smokeybones423]

$500 was just what I was spending on a gpu alone. Really happy to see prices start coming down. I’m now up to 7 cards and still building. Thanks for all of your great content!!

[@TheHobbyistMiner]

1660ti alone cost 450$ at my place :')

[@magiclucky5152]

@@fluffyball3347 Yep. I'm seeing a 1660Ti and a 2060 for $300 on FB marketplace at the moment, myself. I don't know for a fact, but I'm thinking Hobbyist is assuming you send people low ball offers and really work to land a deal on this stuff. Seems a little "advanced" to a beginner miner to me unless they have a friend locally that's showing them the ropes and advising them, step by step. I'd show a beginner this video, then tell them $600 is probably more realistic, but maybe you get lucky.

[@fluffyball3347]

@@magiclucky5152 it's hard to send lowball offers here in my place since most of them(gamers i assume) paid scalper price(around 500$) for those cards

[@troy2923]

Your a champion HM, I know a fair bit or enough lol but I am useless at tying it all together in one organized structured format. You my man, are the secret ingredient. You even use the word structure. I stopped asking you questions because the more videos I watch of your builds the more they get answered anyway. Previously I've said before my inability to get into mining sooner was actually a good thing, especially budget wise. You did a tremendous job on showing people how to enter into something with minimal cost and risk, Kudos bro, keep up the good work. I'll still continue to comment from the family farm downunder in what I hope to be the beginnings of bigger build, but because there is few people out here, I speak overly frequently on here! I think all the time learning was well spent last couple years, from machines to sheds to solar you fellas have all bases covered. Time for Part 2 and 3 ;)

@@TheHobbyistMiner what other motherboards do you recommend

[@crysishc4l577]

Great video as usual. One small change i would do, or what i did when i started back in 2013. Since o was really poor. Is skip the frame and the rizer. It's not needed untill you start buying your second or ,3th graphic card depending on the motherboard. (I started off with a 5 slot mobo with 2 PCI 16 slots. To save the 2 rizer slots at the start. And just set the motherboard ironically on the box it got delivered in. Just a real cheap ass solution but works ;). And a short fyi i am from the EU. But i see some disturbing messages about Newegg from gamernexus and such. Aspecially openbox. It might be an idea to skip them in your mentions but that's all to personal preference 😎

[@tgricebeats2023]

You've def got the info my guy.. I'm gonna start buying parts asap to build one.. Thanks

To make a small rig with 3 of the 1070 GPU's, would you still get away with just a flash drive or does it need an SSD?

[@TheHobbyistMiner]

Flash Drive is just fine.

[@schafflandscaping]

Ive been watching alot of your videos and Sebs and Brandom. So far I have 3 3060 OC 12gb, radeon 6600xt, evga 1080ti ftw3 and a rtx 2060. I did buy the asrock q270 pro btc. I have an intel i5 processor and after watching this I bought a rig frame on amazon, not the one you had but a little more just to be safe. Im so close to getting it all together so I am excited to see the rest of this series. I think the hardest part is the first right build and getting the nerves up to do it, then the rest comes easier I feel. Keep up the good work

I looked at the reviews on this mining rig frame. I've always been curious about them because I've never used one. Not good. You get what you pay for. So, I was watching Altered Component's latest video and I'll just toss this out to all the newcomers on this kind of budget: Shoe rack. The bonus of buying it, besides being cheaper than a bad $40 mining frame, is if you decide mining is stupid you can regift it to your girlfriend or wife on your anniversary.

This would be perfect except that GPU find is ridiculously cheap. He said it himself in the video that eBay sales of the same card were too much. The same exact card is selling for $400+ in my area, which was his budget for the entire build. The rest of the stuff is spot on, aside from the bronze PSU. If you're going to invest $ into this then a nicer (at least silver/gold) PSU should be a no-brainer.
