Most of the discussions that i see on hardware reccomendations seem to focus on the power efficiency of the miner.  Some of us have situations where the electricity cost is not really a concern (for example it may be a fixed price included with rent).  In this case, what hardware gives the best hash rate / the price of hardware.  I am thinking of looking on ebay for some older 50 mhash butterfly labs or some other slightly older hardware.  Any ideas?
Currently have 2 block errupter cubes. 
Want to eventually get at least 200 mhash total at the lowest price possible.

By mhash, I think you mean Gigahash, and if you are looking for about 200 for power efficiency sake you can get USB sticks (newer ANTS or the bitfury dongles, or even Gridseeds are SUPER power efficient)... BUT if you want my honest opinion... just get an Antminer, you'll be better off.... IMHO.

An Ant Miner S1 is the best bang for your money right now.  They are shipping and easy to use and setup.
Depending on where you are located there are several group buys that can help you on here.
Good luck and happy mining.

Bitmains Antminer is the cheapest $/GH but it's 2W/GH which is not brilliant but it's much more efficient than those block erupter cubes you're using!  Wink
