Time to test out that new CETA thing, should from what i know not have import tax payable by you...
1kg is 20EUR to CA, customs forms in English or French (says both but i doubt that) - 10-12 days run time and extra 3-4 days if they hold it quarantine. Insured up to 500EUR.

What is currently the amount of hardware required for netting $1k/m with altcoins/gpu? 10 cards, 100cards, 1 billion cards? I realize that it depends on prices but just a very rough opinion so that I can get the general idea.
That entirely depends on power prices, if you pay 1c/kwh it will be way less than at 20c/kwh.
6x RX480/580 at 10c/kwh will net 930$ profit currently, ignoring any hardware costs:

@william That's a very handy calculator, thanks!
I've played a bit with the pricing and I see that with 20c (which is what the average I'd pay for a lot of consumption), the profit loss is just around 10% than what it would have been with 10c ($27 instead of $30).
Is this normal? Or is it due to the current prices and the normal in the relevant past would be something more like break-even with 20c?
Yes, as the return at this time is generally fairly high and the cards are power wise efficient (6 RX480 use just around 1kW, 6 R9 280X have 1500W+ for half the profit).
What is the catch then? With some rough calculations, a 6x RX480 rig pays for itself in 4-5 months max. I mean, is it just that not everyone bothers to set one up and so there's still room or am I missing something obvious?
RX4xx/RX5xx cards are sold out globally pretty much, as are BTC specialised mainboards.

And the rate of profit can (and does) fluctuate extremely, just as with BTC.
No other catch, for now.
@william
Does
ASRock H81 PRO BTC R2.0sound like an ok choice for a 6x rig?Most importantly though, is it necessary to have all the GPUs the exact same? Or can I pick (say) a 480, then find a 470 then a 570 etc and progressively build it?
I'm going to consider building this seriously, so thanks in advance
I'll be happy if I break even by the EOL of it, but mostly I think I like the idea of doing it.
Shipping to MNE possible? If so then PM me your paypal as I'd like to buy it.
EDIT: Interested in Sapphire R7 370 Dual-X OC 4G
They are prohibitively expensive usually, but sure, works.
The cards do not need to be the same, but mixing AMD and Nvidia drivers on Windows can end bad.
Yes but i cannot guarantee for package safety - your postal system is pretty bad outside Podgorica my Croatian friends/staff tell me.
It also says i have to add a customs form in French (lol) which i do not speak, so would need to check beforehand.
I'm in Podgorica
True
Which one would you suggest instead?
should be less issue then, let me know what you want and i can check the French requirement tomorrow and a final shipment price.
That Katana 1070 looks sexy, too bad i cant afford it
Im interested in Katana 1070 & Core i5.
I hope that I won't! I'll check online and I'll get back to you when I'm ready
Let me know where to, one price for shipping/depending on destination maybe will do free
will later today ship again, so if anyone wants things they can go out still
Those RX480 cards are nice, I got one for cheap awhile back and it maxes every game I throw at it.
Going shipping in half an hour, else only Monday again - Free shipping on EU things as late night special, if anyone is interested but needs reason to get "over the edge"
Both X5687 sold.
Is the 480 still available?
CRAP. I missed that
@doghouch i go again in around an hour (package with rails did not fit...), so can still do same
Yea, still have it.
Got any SSD?
Or Desktop PC, i5/i7?
Yes, check first post for the i5.
SSDs some posts down.
I PM'd you for details.
If the rx480 is still available, I would like to purchase it. I'm in US.
I'm also interested in RX480. Let me know if still available. I'm from Poland.
