Title: Cheap Mining Rig Post by: jsttn on June 23, 2011, 08:56:50 PM Hello,
I love the idea of bitcoins and want to get involved in mining. I want to set up a rig to generate bitcoins however, I am on a type budget. Is it possible to make a cheap rig (under $100) that I can start with. I'm hoping that I can get a better rig if I make more bitcoins and understand it won't generate a ton of bitcoins. Thanks.

you can buy a secondhand card with that money, jam it into your existing PC and let that one mine though Title: Re: Cheap Mining Rig Post by: Cluster2k on June 24, 2011, 04:19:42 AM I love the idea of bitcoins and want to get involved in mining.

The cheapest possible new CPU/motherboard/RAM combo will cost $100 by itself, without a power supply, case, and graphics card to go with it. You absolutely need a graphics card to mine (ATI strongly recommended) otherwise you'll pay $2 for power to earn $1 in bitcoins. GPU mining is coming to an end soon as well. Difficulty is about to increase 60% and the hash rate is accelerating. Everyone should assume they'll be making 25% of their current bitcoin income in a month's time, without the price of bitcoins going up. Is it still worth it?
