Here is the proper sequence:

1. Learn what the hell the bitcoin mining network is all about and do lots of research.

2. THEN you can go buy stuff.

You did it backwards.  Read and learn.

Well just plug them up and start mining, what type of guide do you need? Buy a nice metal shelf maybe? :)

Thanks man for your reply problem which i have now is the computer on which i have to run mining software

I have only one raspberrypi, is there anyway i run all of the above mentioned ASCI stuff with it or do i have to run different mining software for each set ON different system

Well, your rPi has only 2 USB ports.  So... at best you're going to have to chain the hubs together.  I'm not sure about the RBox support, but it's probably there.  I'd say plug everything in, fire up your miner of choice on the rPi, pass it the proper parameters and see what happens.

yeah this what i thought; now googling mining software which will support both asci and scrypt devices on raspberrypi .

any advise :-X

Not Asci- Sha.

And I don't think there's software that will support the R-box, the antminers and the Gridseeds.

I'd use minepeon for the SHA (Bitcoin) stuff. You might have to compile your own miner program to use the R-boxes though I hear official support is in the latest build of CGminer

For the Scrypt units I'd use Minera, unless you're dead-set on dual-mining with them, in which case use hashra.

But you should get another raspberry pi. You should be able to find this for less than $30.

thanks for correcting me to SHA256 :)and your advise on minepeon

i tested rockminer on windows and it worked very well. any leads for $30 pi
