I'd guess at least a good stack of ASICs. Believe BFL seems to sell a huge rig which might help.

Pre Produced products always seem to be much more expenisve then when arranging the stuff by yourself. Does that also aplly here? Would constructing your own rig be cheaper then buying a pre constructed from butterflylabs?

NO because lets say you get enough GPU;s to make 1 coin a day..once asics come flooding out you wont be making anything and will be forced to mine other coins..
Invest in the future and you should be fine.

At current difficulty, you'd need some thing that is capable of 25-30Gh/s. I wouldn't trust BFL to delivery any time soon based on their track record, so I'd look into an Avalon or ASICMiner machine. Avalon are selling just the chips, (as they are not actively doing a batch of Rigs at the moment) so if you are an engineer or want to work with another person who is (some of this site), to build a board for them, it is one of the most cost effective options at the moment. ASICMiner provide a lot of options, they sell shares, usb sized units, ones designed to fit in racks and proven to be a very fast deliver of product. So to answer if you could make it yourself, you could kind of, but not with normal computer parts. I'd put my money on Avalon or ASICMiner. The waiting list for BFL Rigs is nearly a 1 year (a lot of annoyed people on that list).

They deliver in 2 weeks So when the market is now flooded with all these high performance mining machines How long does it take till the coin market drops in the toilet? 25 Gh to get 1 coin a day...today! - Costs 1200 dollars for the 25 Gh butterfly machine so its payed of in 12 days? (without electricity) but how many gh in 6 months for a coin a day?

They deliver in 2 weeks Tell that to the people who have still not got anything after 11 months, I'm sure they'll laugh at you.

As difficulty rises, which it will quickly over the next 6 months. http://www.alloscomp.com/bitcoin/calculator(Simple Calculator to give you profitability) Put in 30000 - > hit calculate Do the same after making difficulty 5x larger. That is were it could be in 6-12 months.

About 5 k for 1/2 a day. I would probably start there, if your going for more than that just save to get an avalon or custom ASIC rig. IMO

Check with Butterfly Labs. Problem is, when you actually receive your rig, difficulty will be so high that you wont stand a chance. If you want to compete, buy someones preorder on the butterfly labs support forum. Otherwise stick with GPU's.

triplemining (pool) has been 7 days without finding 1 BTC and thats with 200-300 GH so nothing is certain

triplemining pool is a nontrusted pool. The operator seems to be keeping a lot of blocks for himself. Just check the pool stats thread. You will be better off mining for actually any other pool!

Try load balancing your mining. I'm currently mining at EMC and Bitparking with load balancing with my main rig. This only gives you halve the income per pool, but the chance of catching short blocks doubles. As both pools use DGM even very short blocks pay for you. EMC had a block today that only took 22 sec to be solved. I wasn't able to contibute a single share to this block but got paid because of DGM. I have choosen those two pools because they are both DGM. EMC is a bigger pool with quite a good hashrate, so it solves big blocks in shorter time than smaller pools. Bitparking is nice because it offers merged mining of NMC, DVC and IXC but has a lower hashrate. This way I get more solved blocks paid out than with only 1 pool. Of course it happens that both have to chew on a big block, but the chance is lower than with only one pool. I haven't looked much at other pools, so probably there is an even better combination. If you have lots of hasrate and a quick connection, then you can use even more pools for load balancing.

About 30GH/s But if you buy a 30GH/s asic it will take a long while before you get it.

Got help from me? Feel free to tip me BTC: 13hrdpUSJWhe2n4g4kTSHEx4GYUF9v5CU3
