The quickest option was to move my mining rig to my parents house. They have a cold spare bedroom, and I placed the server under the bed so it's out of sight. If someone wants to use the room, I can shut the server down (remotely).

It's quiet enough they can leave the door open and allow the heat to disperse through the house. I'm told the heat is making the heat pump run less often, and it's certainly a lot warmer in the room now.

It's taking about 100 days to mine 0.1 Ethereum. If the mining rate is cut any further (April), it probably isn't worth my time to mine even with free electricity. Wondering what other promising currencies can still be mined with GPUs?

I've got 0.35 Ethereum so far and was hoping to get to 1. Not gonna happen now it seems. I'll be lucky to hit 0.5

I haven't given up on the notion of moving the GPUs into the more efficient Tower PC I've got. Just need to solve how to cool the card, and I suspect the "This device cannot find enough free resources" error is due to improper power.
