The Russian company, Crypto Technology, presented its latest product, Cashbox X-Gaming, last week in Saint Petersburg where it is based. The platform is a hybrid between a powerful gaming computer and a cryptocurrency mining device boasting enough capacity to fulfill both functions.
The base model is equipped with Intel Core i5 or i7 processors, two Nvidia GTX 1060/1070/1080 Ti video cards, between 16 and 64 GB of DDR4 RAM, plenty of cooling fans, and a high-quality sound system. The low-end configuration offers a hashrate of 106 MH/S, but it can go up to 181 MH/s with upgraded components, according to Russian crypto media.
Cashbox X-Gaming comes at a starting price of less than 140,000 rubles, around $2,200 USD, and is accompanied by a three-year warranty. More potent configs, utilizing more powerful processors and graphics processing units, will be a bit more expensive. Quoted by the Web-Payment.ru portal, Crypto Technology CEO Anton Sobin said that sales will not be limited to the Russian market and noted:
We are focused on developing the mining sector in Russia, and therefore we try to make the equipment available to everyone. The gaming model will allow users who are not ready for serious investments to try mining and understand the specifics of this exciting and profitable crypto sphere.
