I live in an apartment that is owned by a large university so I don't think they monitor electricity usage or anything like that.

Also, how long does it take to set up the mining equipment? I have little knowledge about computer systems and mining equipments. and I would like to mine to earn bitcoins and learn about them at the same time.

you want s-3's here is a legit seller

buy 3 and use this psu to start your mine

you can run 3 machines on that psu.

you may find a better price for s-3's as low as 85 here and there.

trust just get 3 of them they will be hot.

3 s-3's = 1350-1500gh and pull 1100-1250 watts the psu = 169 if you find 3 s-3's for 300 you are at 469 out of pocket

If power is truly cheap 2 cents a kwatt you will be ahead 44 to 171 dollars by Jan 1st 2016.
