you need a usb FPGA it only costs 1 bitcoin. here is the item you are looking for.

http://www.em.avnet.com/en-us/design/drc/Pages/Xilinx-Spartan-6-FPGA-LX9-MicroBoard.aspx

it's not very powerful but it can be a lot of fun to play around with... if your brother has the patience to find and install the programs.

If you think my efforts are worth something; I'll keep on keeping on.

I've never used that unit, but the software to set it up is included and you'll simply need to find a spartan 6 mining program. It won't be more than a few megahashes no more than 6, but still better than hashing with a cpu.

Anyone know how fast this one would mine?

I have to ask...why in God's name would someone actually be willing to spend that much on a miner?  You are shooting yourself in the foot unless you continually throttle yourself to no more than 51% of the current combined hashing capability.  And all it is at this point is a promise.

That's nuts...

Last time I checked, 10TH/s wasn't anywhere close to 51% of the network.  Roll Eyes
