Hi guys,

Very interested in some kind of mining rig set up...

My first question is, is it possible for a few thousand dollars to build/buy something that can NET you $400-$500/month? Or what is realistic these days for hardware that can give you that kind of profit. My electricity costs is about $0.12/KW/h

I've been going through these forums and others and can use a bit of direction on mining rigs worth considering...

If YOU had to start all over with a mining rig (GPU based), what would you consider in the following categories:

- as a build-it-yourself? Whose set up seems to be the best these days with fairly easy to follow instructions?

- as a pre-built solution? Who are reputable vendors to consider? I've been looking at parallelminer.com, miningcave.com. eBay seems to also have some sellers who sell full rigs.

Also is there any reason to prefer either NVidia or AMD GPUs or will either work well.

Thanks for any direction or advice you can offer.

With current market price for ETH, a 6 rig investment will yield you a net profit of $655 per 30 day period, when every gpu is able to push out 30mhash/900mhash dual mining. Your investment for said rig will be anywhere between $1800-2300 depending on where you buy your parts.

pre-built rigs are great if you want to pay $100-500 extra to save yourself a few hours of price comparison/assembling. Nvidia doesn't even come close to AMD when it comes to mining ETH/DCR.
