CHIA Farming PC Build Guide ($1700 CAD June 2021)
I build a PC capable of farming the cryptocurrency CHIA mostly based on the "budget" build outlined here: https://chiadecentral.com/budget-plot...
*Note: I am not well versed in Chia farming. I can't speak to how it works or how effective this system will be long term. I built this for a customer, so consider it a guide based on a guide from people who know their Chia. Reports from customer: so far so good :) Feedback and comments on the video is welcome as always.
