I wanted to create a mining device dedicated to mining BTC 24/7. I have browsed some stuff on amazon about usb based miners and I have also considered buying a cheaper computer and getting a really good GPU for it. What would be the best approach? I'm looking to make an investment of sorts in order to make a profit back on BTC mining. Any advice?

 Your late to the party....buy BTC instead.  If you just have to mine with a GPU,look into X11,X13,etc. altcoins

I recommend block erupters. BEST value in SHA256 MH/S.

Are you in 2013? USB ASICs are not even profitable right now, they can't even breakeven with the skyrocketing difficulty. It is only a collector item now, you won't be able to earn with a USB ASIC. |

Pretty sure he meant these: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=791827.0Or... at least I hope he did. Otherwise, either a) he's a complete tool... err... troll or b) it was sarcasm. |

I think it was sarcasm. Block erupters are the usb sticks. No matter what miner you look at do some ROI math. |

If you really want to mine then buy the cheapest ASIC (< $200) you can find. The cheaper you buy the less money you'll lose.

First of all, you don't "create a mining device". Lol. If you're talking about adding GPUs to a PC for mining, then you're in the wrong forum. It hasn't been feasible to mine BTC with a PC in well over a year. Although you may be able to mine some altcoins with a PC if your'e really desperate. But again, wrong forum for altcoin advice.

Your late to the party.
Don't waste yout time/money with GPUs.... doesn't work nothing, in cryptocurrecy world, now.
But, if you want to try, try with a usb blockerupter or an antminer s1 (<$50)
good luck.
