Apparently, it seems that Cyberpower PC is now offering setups for mining. I mean it's not like you couldn't get a rig and customize it for mining before, but the fact that they've created a "Mega Miner Series" is pretty damn intriguing...
I looked at their setups, and I can't really say that it's all too worth it, but the fact that this will get people wondering and possibly talking about mining is pretty cool.
What do you guys think about a major computer outlet offering "Mining Rigs?"
On one hand it's good that they offer something for the marketplace, on the other hand these really aren't dedicated machines for mining with all the accessories (dvd drive, 1tb storage, etc). With no option to pay via bitcoin or other cryptocurrency, it doesn't look like they are really backing the industry, but just looking for a new market to expose. What I think is missing right now is a re-seller that is putting together a high Mh/s machine stripped down for dedicated mining. It's still a "build it yourself" market with stability issues to contend with.
I'm currently looking for scrypt-machines to buy myself too (more than 4mh/s), as I don't really want to build them, but will if I have to.
