Title: Re: 5 Unconventional Uses For Your Old Mining Rig

Hey guys, I've been thinking about what to do with my old GTX 1080 mining rig that's been collecting dust for a while now. I used it for Ethereum mining back in the day but with the prices dropping, it's not worth keeping it running for profit. Anyone else out there have any creative ideas for repurposing old mining rigs?

"Lol, I repurposed my old 6 GPU rig as a 3D rendering server and it's been flying through render jobs. The hash rate might be gone, but the graphics power is still useful. Anyone else have a creative way to reuse an old miner?"

"Yea, I've repurposed my old rig for a homebrew server. Works like a charm for hosting a media library and streaming stuff to the TV. Saved me a pretty penny on the streaming services too"

"Yooo, gotta agree with @MiningMaster on using an old rig for retro gaming. I repurposed my old GPU for some intense League of Legends matches and it still gets the job done. Anyone have experience with rigging up a mining rig for video editing?"

"Dude, I've seen people use old rigs as home servers for running personal Plex servers or NextPVR for cable TV recaps. I've also heard of people using them as dedicated Ethereum Node runners. Anyone else use their old rigs for anything creative?"
