what new computer/VC should i buy that will be efficient for mining/work?

[identity42]

i am a newbie but i have potential to grow quickly. i manage a firm that houses a new server and about 27 computers. and we get new computers pretty often and i am in charge of ordering them and i can choose which type of computer and video card to get. i want some advice on what kind of computer and video card you think i should look into getting for my next computer/video card set up that will be not too expensive but will be able to mine at a high rate while being able to to be worked on and have 2 monitors hooked up at the same time too.

thank you for your help

From lurking, I believe we've reached the point where quite soon GPU won't be worthwhile at all. They have been surpassed by FPGA and now ASIC; the impact of those technologies' far greater hash rates will drive difficulty up. Of course GPU mining will still be possible, but due to the increased difficulty, it'll take a lot longer to mine coins with GPUs - and it's probably the case that the coins a GPU generates will be worth less in total than the electricity used. You would just lose money.

Unless corporation pays for electricity and you can like start batch to mine at night . There is an hardware comparison list https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison

People keep saying ASIC this and that, but either you spend a ton of money and wait, or get a GPU and mine today.  I hear the 7970 is great for Litecoin.
