Anything would be a big help

Stay out of any ASIC deal for the moment. Gains you might make with some ASIC miner are dwarfed by possible losses due to very little knowns.
Put some money into Bitcoin and altcoins and wait for 2nd generation of chips by vendors who proved they can deliver (ASICMiner, Avalon or BFL).

Worth consideration is if you really want to become a miner. It is a job that locks one (or someone else) in place and requires a lot of nerves. It is
not set and forget job.

I wish I didn't have to agree, but the above is correct - it's a really tricky time to be getting into hardware mining right now.

I've been very pleased with how the ASICMINER stock has been doing, and might be a good interim solution while waiting for the market to sort out ASIC hardware pricing.
