Best Mining Hardware at 250$ cap

[Professor James Moriarty]

 I want to spend 250$ on something (which I will not buy online or anything I happen to go some tech shop soon today) so I was thinking about buying something to implement on my laptop. I am guessing buying a gpu and also buying the materials for making that gpu an external gpu (the pci cables or watever they are called ) is easy enough but the configuration of that comes very difficult.

 What do you guys think I should get for 250$?

I will stop you right there and tell you to drop whatever plans you had.

The asicminer usb miner stuff should fit it.

The asicminer usb miner stuff should fit it.

 Yeah I highly doubt they will have that at the place I will go shopping Otherwise I would be delighted to buy one right now

I gave up at buyng hardware at local shops. You will not find anything appealing.

 I dont want it to be like that %100 but I want to buy it right there and then thats the problem. I mean with online I will probably have to wait a lot and when it comes down to bitcoin 'time is money' actually puts the meaning into it So basically I need to buy a usb port entry plug and mine bitcoin mining device right now and that seems pretty impossible to do unless there is someone living around my neighborhood that has a fpga miner that he wants to get rid of for 250$

Hey Cuz!

I dont think ud get anything substantial in local stores for $250.

The connector for connecting a GPU to laptop (asuming it exists and works well), would have to be ordered online anyways, no way ud find it in a random store. Then add price for the GPU... Even if u find a setup for $250 .. it would use so much power that waiting a couple of weeks for the usb dongle thingy from ASICMINER would still be cheaper.

No way is anybody gonna sell u FPGA @250. They seem to be selling out like hot cakes... maybe in a months time they get cheaper.

 Yeah I imagined that I can't get my hands on that asic miner usb thingy for a while at 1 piece at a time for now I am guessing . I want to but I can't. Thats why I am trying to get something like 300-400 mhash/s for 250$ but I can't . I found and old case at my home and got excited for a while yesterday , it turns out it was so old that It did not even have wifi port exist in it so I am doomed to mine with my laptop (which I mention is great for a laptop with 8 gb rams and all that era things) but for mining its 35 mhash/s which is basically nothing at this moment

 Even a 100 mhash/s+ would have been fine with me if I could have found a way of plug and mine for 250$ but they do not exist for another while :/

If you really want to mine so badly, there is always LTC. Sure you probably wont get much khash out of your laptop but at least it will be more fun to watch your stash of LTC grow, as LTC Mining is way easier then BTC Any you never know whats gonna happen once Gox starts trading LTC.

 I was thinking about FC , what do you guys think? Is there a room for btc-gold ltc-silver fc-bronze ? Or should I go for ltc? I am looking at  http://dustcoin.com/mining here and it shows I can make decent return on FC but I am not sure if its easy to sell it that easily:D

selling is easy. both vircurex and btc-e accept it.. simply convert them to whatever currency u wanna hoard in. But srsly... dont cpumine on your laptop... ur going to ruin it.

[Professor James Moriarty]

ohhh nooo, I strictly work on my gpu at least that was the deal with btc mining and bbq mining If I can I will keep mining FC from now on with my gpu.
