Is there a relatively inexpensive rig for litecoin mining? Like $100-$500 and at current difficulty rate has a breakeven point of 6 months or less? Thanks, sorry I've been using bitcoins for over 6 months but new to the whole actual mining thing (just have heard a lot bout it).

Try posting in the Litecoin or Alt Coin portions of the forum.

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
A: Top-posting.

King, you want to be mining FTC or CAP right now and then using Cryptsy to convert it to LTC or BTC.

As far as a good rig... if you already have a computer with PCI-E slots, you can probably scour through Craigslist and find a couple of cheap cards.

I found a 5850 for $80 on CL and had a 6850 in my closet, so I am hasing away at ~700-750KH/s with about a $80 investment.

My power is $0.07-0.09/kwh so despite what everyone says about GPU mining being non-profitable, it can be.
