As far as i understand, you are doing work for the Bitcoin company, and they are repaying you?

With the introduction of ASICs, GPU mining died. Bitcoins are still very much a thing, but you need specialized hardware.
My HD 6950 2GB would do about 350MHash/s, while my friends GTX 590 would do about 250MHash/s. It was very AMD optimized (OpenCL/OpenGL I don't remember
).
ASICs are small, low wattage, one-purpose devices that use about 5-10W and do 1GHash/s or more.
TLDR: You synchronize your wallet with all other miners, you lend your GPU/ASIC to be used for back-end banking services for Bitcoins and you get rewarded. The more power you can supply (measured in MHash/s) the more you are rewarded. But the overall MHash (effectively PHash at this point) determines the 'difficulty', ie how much you are rewarded.

Very clean Geoff!
Why did you choose for 3x 840 RAID 0 vs M.2? Did you transfer them from your old build?

Beast of a machine Geoff! Should be able to handle anything you throw at it for the next few years.
And that Noctura heatsink is massive.

Thanks! I had 3 of them from my old build, so I just reused them. I originally had 2 in RAID 0 and one in my MacBook Pro, but I got rid of the Mac so threw the third one in my new desktop. I was originally going to get an Intel 750 PCI-E SSD, but I figured it wasn't worth $400 over what I had.
I can't wait to start overclocking it!
Thanks! I love the look of the new board and RAM, goes very well with my white/red/black theme. This is the new G.Skill Ripjaw V RAM as well.

Yeah it's a full size ATX board, but the case makes it look tinyThat mATX board in an ATX case though
Looks pretty good though mang.
Edit: I guess that case is just roomy enough to have that effect on full ATX boards

Btw, it's M3A32-MVP Deluxe 790FX (supports 4-way CFX), AMD Phenom II X2 555BE and 3x HD5770 1GBs

Edited.
Small update. Finally got round to removing my HDD bays and disk drive area. Used a couple of plates i made at work to mount the HDD and SSD at the top. HDD is in the back of the case now mounted on the bottom plate. I hope it might help someone looking to do anything similar. Love the look of it and definately added some light and more spacious feeling into that part of the case. Camera quality a little better now due to my new nikon 3200.
Ohh and custom Spray painted SLI bridge with Red LED. The wallpaper... Really need to get round to changing it lol.

Thanks
. It is a custom loop yes. The radiator on the top is a 480mm x 60mm. There is also a 480mm x 38mm and 240 x 38mm in the bottom. Bit overkill but thought might aswell if the case can fit it all in without much extra hassle. Allows plenty of cooling capacity for anything i change too in the future.
I noticed my temperatures were topping out at 96C last night and since it isn't raining today, I decided to give the PC a good dusting out. I know there is still some dust but it's the best I could do with two cans of compressed air (which lose pressure very quickly!) and I'm building a new PC in the next few months anyway.
And now my temperatures at 100% load are a bit more like what I'd expect for an i5 with a 4.3GHz overclock cooled by a cheap cooler.
Most of the dust was still in the garden abut 2 hours after I dusted it out, haha! There was a hell of a lot of dust. I haven't cleaned it out since July 2014.
When I upgrade to an i7 soon I'm hopefully going to get a better case. I'm interested in a white NZXT H440 and I might also get a new cooler. I'm looking at the CM 212 or the Corsair H55 or a Thermalright True Spirit. I've had this case for 5 years now, nice to get something a bit smarter looking.
Whilst I was at it I also decided to dispose of three hard disks that died on me over summer. Always good fun smashing them up! It turns out the Western Digital Green is much easier to destroy than the Seagate Barracuda - the Seagate SSHD was very easy being a small 2.5" drive.

Yeah I smashed these up so hard if you shake them you can hear the bits of platter rattling around in the disks.
The platter hanging off the mirror sounds awesome, haha!

Where is my hard drive to smash!?!?!
I have 35 pound maul axe......I'm just tease. It is true that WD got broken easily as I take look inside. I had WD failed on me in 3 month. After I got SeaGate, they never failed on me. One of them are almost 7 years old. HSGT is hard drive owed by WD that I never tried, but heard it is good.
