Thanks guys.
What I did was order an s3+ and a PSU. I want to get my feet wet, figure out how to run this and connect to a pool and get going.
I have the PSU now, the S3+ should arrive in a day or 2.

I have a bitcoin wallet from bitaddress.org and set up an account with coinbase.com and gdax.com
I am 100% interested in mining altcoins, but want to learn with something simple and close to plug and play to start with. I have been watching allot of videos and reading but still have allot to learn!
On another note, I want some excuse to use the raspberry Pi so I need to figure out what to do with that thing!
