@HiDevin Thanks! I can assure you, the BURST community is awesome. I will be back, on a slightly smaller scale for now...but who knows what the future may hold. TO THE MOON ;)

@HiDevin Post mentions that I will hand over the wallet and that it continues to make $$ without touching so yep, it is plotted. I even went through a complete re-plot 3 months ago to optimize. That was a process. But now it reads all but one plot in 35sec or far less.

Hey guys.
@mathew @HiDevin That range is accurate.
@KyleH112 Sorry, looking to part with this as a nice big rig for a lucky BURST miner - no individual drive sales.
As far as the price, in between posts on both sites I thought about the blood, sweat, and tears that went in to building this rig and tacked on $200. Lol.

I am selling my BURST pc that I have been using for the last 4-5 months or so to pay off some bills. It took me quite a while to get this all plotted and running smoothly but now, I don't touch it at all and it keeps making $$$. I have over $5,000 invested in this, not to mention countless hours figuring out the best configuration for running 26 drives on one PC. I did not skimp on components, computer is gaming machine quality (GPU, fast CPU, 500GB SSD, 8GB RAM).
If there are any warranty issues, I will assist any way I can. However, I have been running these 25 Seagate drives for months and have not had a single one fail!
If you are interested, I will hand over the BURST account to you as well (willing to sign agreement to delete password and never log in to it again) so you can start mining from day one or while you re-plot drives.
With this rig, I consistently rank in the top 5-10 on Burst.ninja.
Here is equipment with approximate costs -
10x Seagate Backup Plus 5TB Desktop External Hard Drive USB 3.0 (STDT5000100) - $1500
5x Seagate Expansion 8TB USB 3.0 3.5" Desktop External Hard Drive STEB8000100 Black - $1000
5 x Seagate Backup Plus 8TB Desktop External Hard Drive with Mobile Device Backup USB 3.0 - STDT8000100 (Black) - $1000
5x Seagate 3TB Internal 3.5" hard drives (currently sitting behind rig with cables running inside) - $500
4x 4-Port USB 3.0 PCIe cards - $100
AMD FX-8370 CPU with Wraith Cooler - $180
Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD5 Motherboard - $140
Visiontek R9 270x GPU (use jminer to quickly scan plots) - $200
Vertical AC surge protectors - $60
2x 8-port USB 3.0 Hubs - $60
8GB RAM - $50
500GB Samsung SSD - $160
600w EVGA PSU (Picture shows 1000w but it will be 600w) - $50
Case - $50You will be responsible for covering the cost of shipping. Please PM if you are interested or if you have questions. If needed, we can do an escrow account.
Picture doesn't really do justice. Also, 5x 3TB drives are sitting behind case in a basic metal caddy.

RE: my accountposted in Help & Support
Every time I have seen that it is related to a wrong password entered, period. Check for an extra space at the end, that has got me a few times. But no one can hack your password and cause it to say that you have created a "new account".

Hardware for 20x USB 3.0 drives connected to one machineposted in Mining & Plotting
I have had various issues with having 20 USB 3.0 drives hooked up to one machine. 10x 8TB drives, 10x 5TB drives. Sometimes they are stable for weeks, sometime a few drives drop out regularly and I need to reset the drives or the PC, or sometimes several drives are painfully slow (instead of taking 10-15secs to read, they take 7-8minutes). I have tried multiple machines with various results.
I have 3x 7-port USB hubs. I have also used a couple PCI-E to 4-port USB cards on machines that didn't inherently have USB3 ports but were otherwise pretty juiced up machines. I have tried combinations of plugging some in to the PCIE card, some in to the onboard USB3.0 ports, balancing on the 7-port hubs, etc.
I am having a hard time determining truly what the bottlenecks are. I know that this is quite demanding on a PC, but I really believe it should be possible.
Is anyone else doing something similar? Any recommendations for hardware? How about any theory regarding PCIE USB cards, USB3 hubs, vs onboard ports, etc?
Thanks!

I am curious too, as to what is up with all this and why it is taking my burst transactions forever...
