"Upcycling an Old Laptop into a Crypto Mining Rig: Challenge Accepted"

[kolya76]

"Hey fellow tech enthusiasts, I just scored a beat-up old Dell laptop for $20 at a garage sale and I'm thinking of upcycling it into a crypto mining rig. With the current price of GPUs and ASICs out of the way for a lot of us, I'm curious to know if anyone else has attempted this and has some tips to share. Who's with me?"

"Yooo, just threw my old Razer Blade together with some S17's and an Antminer S19 for extra hashpower. Still haven't optimized the BIOS for best performance, but it's running like a champ so far. Anyone have tips on tuning the power settings?"

"Yooo, nice move on the upcycling project! If you're looking for some decent mining hardware, I'd suggest checking out some older NVIDIA cards like the GTX 1060 or 1660. Can't wait to see how your rig turns out"

"Lol, upcycling an old laptop into a mining rig is basically like trying to get blood from a stone, but I'm down to try if I can find a decent old laptop for cheap. Anyone have any tips on what type of hardware I should look for?"
