@trewq - You would just cover postage/shipping to send it to us and to send it back to you. No extra fees that I feel are necessary at this point.
I had 6 on the Mac:

Ok so @William you got my attention, is clear you are full of skill.
How does that "thing" work? Is that 6 cards sli?
Same question with the Mac.
hey! $7 for the cat!
No, it uses a PCIe expanders to get x1 PCIe 2.0 (5Gbit) to 3x PCIe x1 1.0 (2.5Gbit) - this does not do SLI/Crossfire (requires 4 lanes per card) but allows to use them for computing. Draws about 2000W in use.
Specific hardware from Canada with a PLX PCIe chip to split out lanes, then run it out of the case and feed by external PSU.

I'm not impressed until you use a PCI riser and several ISA adaptors.
I have these - PLX development kits, very rare, very expensive, very useful:

Also have PCI to PCIe x1 (!) converters, enabling PCIe usage on a PCI slot.
Clearly the cat realises these things produce good heat
Hah!
How many ISA 8/16 bit EMS cards, though?
I THINK we have some old FC ISA cards, but that's it
Eh.. still amusing. You have the kind of gear I wish I never got rid of, and enable to boot.
@William So based on the power consumption is pretty terrible for anything but... Did you ever test that thing with BT mining? Was it average or?
Why? Power was cheap at the time/location - it was used for folding at home, BT mining on GPUs was dead already by then (for that we had some ASIC miners).
Try to figure out what hetzner gonna do with DMCA
Do you have url ?
Or this server in US ?
What about DMCA and any discount for Intel Core i7-6700K Plan ?
I want to set up the game called Dragon Oath on the server
Kansas City, MO, US.
Now think again.,
It doesn't matter all that much when you only copy Linux ISOs..
Germany not US, if interested please pm me.
Didn't know those existed. Is it stable / does it works good?
edit: seems pretty expensive...
You can get cheap ones on AliExpress. $5 for a single PCI to USB 3.0 riser or $15 for a dual one.
Depends on the quality you want.
Would you mind sharing a link? I find cheap pci-e to pci-e riser but no old pci to pci-1 x1..
It's 1.1 and works, yes, stable also -- just very slow, 1Gbit ~ (so half a lane).
I have some specialised sellers on ebay for such things, Sintech and Startech:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/STARTECH-COM-PCI1PEX1-PCI-to-PCIe-Adapter-Card-/252779891470?hash=item3adadb0b0e:g:PaAAAOSw3v5Yq0cS
This is a 64bit card (extra part on end) but also works in normal 32bit.
This is NOT what we meant. See my post above.
I came to suggest Startech. Welp.. guess I don't have to. They've got some of the grooviest stuff only the nerdiest of nerds need.
I appreciate that they continue to offer drivers for their products, where the half-priced pump-n-dump Chinese resellers are long gone. I've got an odd USB2->Parallel+RS232 adapter which has drivers for Windows 98 OSR2 up through 10. Works great in Linux, too.
I used their Thunderbolt 3 USB-C to Thunderbolt 2 adaptor and it worked flawlessly out of the box and was one of the only few that was offered too. They have my backing as well for the future!
This is not theirs.
That is a basic Intel chip in a case, zero modifications. Same Apple sells, at times at huge didscounts.
