[WTB] Litecoin Rig for around $1200

[artw1982]

I have 1.5 BTC that I'm wanting to spend on a Litecoin mining rig.

Of if you can help me build one for that amount I'll hook you up with some LTC once I get started.

You'll probably be able to build one for cheaper than you can get one.

For that cost, I'd use a few 270Xs, a cheap mobo, 1000watt power supply, and just put together some wood and zip ties to hold everything.



If you want quality components and plan on improving though, I would get the following:

Radeon 280X Sapphire Tri-X
Powered Risers
Gigabyte 990FXA-UD7 motherboard
a CoolerMaster 1200w Power Supply (you can add another one later)
cheap low power semrpon CPU (AM3+ socket)

That should get you started under your $1200 limit and give you roughly 800kh/s. Then, when you want to put some more into it, just buy another card. That supply should easy handle 4 cards.

I'm a Bitcoin miner. I really don't know the first thing about scrypt mining. I was going to get everything from Overstock.com since they accept BTC. You up to create a shopping cart of the best stuff I can get for that price at Overstock? Maybe post a screenshot of the cart and I can purchase the parts.

You would still need  2 1x to 16x powered risers and power switch and either hard drive or jump drive depending on the OS plan and this is just to give you and IDEA as I didn't look extremely close at the hardware from Tigerdirect (they take bitcoin) with a few different video card options:

This would do about 1.2MHs+ if tweaked right......4-5 month to cover its own costs not counting electric dpending on what scrypt asics do to misc. scrypt difficulty over the next few months!

I can't find any 1x to 16x risers anywhere. I've bought what you listed. Is there a source I can get the risers from with BTC?
