I want get an s9 but right now the price is out of reach so im thinking of setting up an Ether miner with ethos.

I know windows and Macs well but its been awhile since I touched linux and wasn't the best with it.  I was thinking of the motherboard combo in gpushack and get the cards elsewhere.  I think this would be the safest best than all I need is power and I should be good.  This way I don't have to look with installing linux.  Im sure im paying a tad more doing this but its less headache.

I was thinking the rx 580 8gb (the 480 is to much right now witheveryone buying them)

I read they get around 25-30 after a bios mod. Is the mod easy to do? Or would I even need to with a motherboard from gpushack?

I also saw a mod for the video card I need to install.  again is this a simple process?

I want to buy one and see how it goes before I put a lot of money into all this

what else am I missing?
