Hi guys. That is pretty much my question.
Which firm of mining hardware providers is the best one?

I want to setup a mining rig (I have no problem with a free access to electricity) but I don't what hardware I need to buy. There are so much thing here: Antminer (a bunch of models), Bitfurry and other stuff. I have no financial problems and ready to invest 5000$ into my mining rig. Should I buy China or US made hardware? Which one is the best one?

Thanks a lot in advance of advise

Well if want to buy USA gear you need to build a pc and mine eth coin.

If you want to buy from China the s-9 or s-7. From bitmaintech or Avalon 6s from Avalon.

How much free power do you have?

10 kwatts or 2 kwatts or more or less.

The s-9 uses 1.4 kwatts per hour.
The s-7 uses 1.3 kwatts per hour
The Avalon 6 uses 1100 watts per hour.

I have a few used s-7 s and Avalon 6s if you want.

I have something around 5-6 kwatts of free power per hour.

s-9 uses 1.4 kwatts per hour and Avalon 6 uses 1.1 kwatts per hour. Does it mean that s-9 is a better mining hardware than Avalon?
