Bitcoin Pic Of The Moment
These bitcoin miners have been running almost constantly for a year and a half on Fedora 14. They’re in a minimally temperature controlled space ranging from 35°F-95°F and require some of the video cards to be placed outside of the chassis.
While I have my doubts on the future sustainability of the bitcoin ecosystem these machines more than paid for themselves. The technical challenges involved also have relevance with affordable high power processing for media content creation and research.

Update 2013-09-04: With one miner retiring due to hardware failure and ASIC and FPGA-based systems coming online affecting the hash difficulty, the last remaining miner is no longer effective and has been retired. Where this currency is heading is anyone’s guess but it’s been a great experiment so far.
