Greetings, I'm planning on purchasing a dedicated mining-rig but first I would like to get a hint on how much money it will generate and if it will cover the costs of the machine itself.
Components:- CPU: AMD Sempron 140 2,7GHz = 44$
- PSU: Fractal Design Newton R2, 800W = 187$
- RAM: A-Data 1024MB DDR3 = 17$
- MOBO: ASRock 3N78D = 76$
- GPU: XFX Radeon HD5970 Black Edition 2GB = 570$
Total: 894$
Other information:- I will get electricity for free so the electricity costs is out of the picture.
- I will be using Ubuntu as OS.
- I will probably be overclocking the GPU.
- The machine will be running 24/7 for three months.
- After the three months I will be selling all the bitcoins I generated through Mt Gox.
So, will three months of mining cover the costs of the rig (894$) or is it just a waste of time and money?
