If you want to mine, and with the rise in BTC now is as good a time as any in the last 12 Months, then as others have said best value for money / noise for you is an S3. Will you make much money no, but how much depends on your electricity price? Will you loose much no, because S3 are holding their value very well.

Does the S3 come with two fans or Wi-Fi? Will this be a quiet unit for in home use?How much should I pay for one?
For fun, that means you don't care for profits? Take a look at antminer S3, they should be cheap and also quite, rumors are some of them have the ability to downvolt.
I would like some guidance! So I have a small apartment with free electricity and a extra office. I would like to have a small bitcoin rig/setup for fun! I have a friend who has been running a S5 for awhile but every time I'm at his house the rig is so loud and hot!
I am running a MAC and I would like to mine on NiceHash.com I would like to be under $100 ideally with a unit and power supply $200 max.
I have been looking at the Black Arrow Prospero X-1.5 SHA-256 ASIC Bitcoin Miner. I am really looking for something plug and play.
