Since I'm still stuck here for now, I thought I'd ask. I've poked around in the hardware section, and it's clear as mud which way I should go. I'm thinking that an upgraded GPU isn't the way to go, as it sucks down lots of power (and I'd most likely need a bigger power supply to go with it). That leaves FPGA and ASIC as options, but what's the cheapest way to get going? I understand that ASICs aren't yet shipping, and that while they promise to be a good bit faster (and maybe cheaper), substantial changes to the way Bitcoin works could render them expensive paperweights. I'd like to get beyond the ~25 MH/s I'm getting with the CPUs and low-end GPUs I have; what's going to be the best bang for the buck?
