Asic for 1/2 a bitcoin?

[gigalew]

I was thinking of cashing out my cex.io and buying a rig. My budget is .50 btc.
What is the best thing i can get for that, asic scypt seems more bang for the buck, but I would appreciate other opinions

Just check out these other threads.  In the last month at least 4 new small asic miners were released.  Now is a perfect time to get away from Cex.io and enjoy your hobby at home.  The Antminer S3 is just over your btc limit and hashes at about 460gh/s.  BtcGarden released their miner hashing at 310 gh/s and is at your price range.  These miners are about twice as efficient as earlier models.  Rockminer has the r-box which you could buy several to play around with or use for solo mining.

Used S1s, Rockminer Rboxes, Gridseed orbs, furies, USB miners...

The scrypt miners are really pretty much in their infancy.  Gridseed only produced the first orbs a few months ago.  Since then, a ton of options have come out, and many more are in the works.

At any rate, with a budget of 0.5BTC you're not going to get a whole lot, but there are still items to choose.
