You can get started by repurposing a computer you have and just adding cards. As long the motherboard has PCI-E slots and at least 2 GB ram it will work. Add risers and maybe a bigger PSU and you are golden. You can also find many used Dell/HP towers for <$100 on Craigslist or at Goodwill. Here is a good thread to read for other ideas.

I have had this computer forever and it still works: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883109024
Will this work for mining with the RX 580?

You have two PCI-E slots on that motherboard, one x16 and one x1 PCI-E slot, so you can put up to two cards. One on the x16 slot and the other using a powered riser for the card in the x1 slot. You also have two PCI slots which use a different voltage and can't be used with risers, so be careful and make sure you only plug in risers in the PCI-E slots.

You also probably don't have any 6 or 8 pin PCI-E cables on the PSU, so you would would need to upgrade the PSU. Compare the pinout on the 24-pin cable that connects to the motherboard with an ATX 24-pin pinout diagram to make sure the cable colors match the ATX pinouts. If the colors match, then you can replace the PSU with any ATX PSU.

I would suggest an EVGA 750 G2 or 850 G2, which have 4 PCI-E connectors and would handle up to three RX 580's.

These Sapphire Nitro+ RX 580 8GB are great cards that will easily get 30+ MH/s and 850 MH/s DCR dual mining each after a Bios mod and are on sale for $280 at Newegg. That's the lowest price they've been in months.

I just checked and ATX pinouts colors match. And I might buy those Sapphire Nitro RX 580 Cards you are talking about.
