Anything cheap I just want to learn more and I currently am lucky enough to have a no electricity setup and really just want to play around with stuff.
I don't know much, but maybe a
Antminer S1 Rockbox Many USB miners?
I want something(s) that combine to equal around 160-180gh/s to play with, so perhaps recommend something.

Honestly you can score a used S3 for cheap. I would recommend that as a cheap intro miner over the S1.

Try an Antminer U3, very simple to set up, less physical foot print and noise than an S1, and 10% the electricity usage. Hash rate of a U3 is about 1/3 an S1, but it's a great place to start!

I have a hosting customer that's looking to sell some S3, and we also sell server PSUs for cheap. I could see about a bundle cost if that's interesting.

I want to pay with BTC so Ebay doesn't really work . I have a hosting customer that's looking to sell some S3, and we also sell server PSUs for cheap. I could see about a bundle cost if that's interesting.
I would love this.

Looks like he's wanting at least $70 apiece for the S3s, and probably $40-50 for a PSU that'd run both of them. That'd get you about 880GH for a little over $200 shipped within the US. He's got 4x S3 and two PSUs here.

Honestly you can score a used S3 for cheap. I would recommend that as a cheap intro miner over the S1. I suggest this option. I got a few on craigslist not too long ago. The first was an S3 with a corsair 650w which I picked up for 100 dollars. In my town there are 5 S3s for sale without power supply for 300 dollars for the lot. Ive been contemplating buying it.

Would he split that to 100 even? for one of them ?

Would he split that to 100 even? for one of them ? Not a damn bit of my business, but if you can swing $100 try to swing $200 and pickup that deal. Close to 900GH/s turn key to your door (with relevant miners) is not bad at all. If you want to really learn mining you may want to go a different route. I say this because I am a moron and managed to get 12x S1's running without breaking anything or screaming or crying or really any mistakes. I had my S5's unboxed up and running in 5 minutes. Bitmain products are awesome like that. If you wanted to dick around some more get some miners that need cgminer or similar and raspberry pi. If you are an enthusiast/geek you'll likely have more fun going that route. (list to others over my advice)

Would he split that to 100 even? for one of them ? Yeah probably. The miners are going to be shut off at the end of the month, so if you wanted any I could ship 'em out Monday. Pretty sure I have the factory packaging from the S3s still, and they fit nicely in a box with the PSU. I shipped a bunch of S1/PSU combos last summer without any problems.

"currently am lucky enough to have a no electricity setup" find out the maximum amount of free electricity setup you have, then spend as much as possible on as much hashing as possible and mine for free.
