Bitcoin mining is now a specialized and very risky industry, just like gold mining. Amateur miners are unlikely to make much money, and may even lose money. Bitcoin is much more than just mining, though!

High electric rates and an ever-increasing difficulty means you're going to want to look at ASICs.

You're got BFL, but speaking as a customer of theirs for years now, don't expect your hardware anytime soon. They do make really nice products, tho.

You could get a DIY or K16 kit with Avalon chips, but those are about 3 months out.

Third and final option is ASICMiner devices. They sell a blade for 50BTC, or a little USB device for 2BTC. For just getting into mining, that little USB stick is prolly your most affordable bet.
