Hey guys! I'm looking for a decent mining setup that could pull about 500 GH/s. Unfortunately buying miners used on amazon and eBay don't include the power supply, and buying one would go too much over the budget of $200 USD. So, I'd like to ask the community if they've got an old asic, perhaps an S3 or an S4... Something self contained would be amazing, because I've never ran a dedicated miner. I have mind, though! I used to run a GPU instance on amazon for kicks, back when they made a few dollars. But I've been into bitcoin since 2011, so I'm well acquainted with it. Thanks for any considerations and offers!

Welcome to the game. Tons of fun, for sure.

I've got this franken-rig up on my local craigslist now - http://baltimore.craigslist.org/sys/4979698512.html

Basically it's an EVGA 1300W G2 PSU and 2 antMiner S1s and 1 antMiner S3. I had to do some shuffling due to circuits and such at my house and I have these leftover. About 800 GH for $225 and the PSU gives you upside to eventually power 2 antMiner S5s when the prices come down a bit more.

If you're interested, think I could get them packaged-up an shipped in your price range depending on where you live.

Either way, have fun it!
