I am sorry, you are correct and this is confusing.  Please forgive me, this is my first venture into this.  I have corrected the thread to have any loan requests posted here and I will message you.  Thank you for bringing that to my attention.

I see miners sold without power supplies.  Is it difficult to install them if I bought one without the supply and then bought the supply?  Do I need specific supplies for specific units?

I am just getting into this.  From my understanding, mining solo is stupid and I need to join a pool.  So I need some assistance. I am buying a small miner just to learn with.  So here are my questions.

1.  I see that the miners do not have power supplies; besides the power supplies, is there anything else I need to buy?
2.  Once I receive my miner, do I need to hook it to my router or my computer?
3.  Do I need special skills to be able to hook it up and start mining?
4.  Is there anywhere on here I can get a step by step guide?

I am sure there is more I am missing, so any help what will walk me through this would be great.
