SHA 256 mining needs a big investment. The best Scrypt mining devices are the latest AMD cards, like R9 280x, or R9 290
Asrock build a motherboard, that can handle up to 6 cards at the same time.

The ultimate Scrypt mining rig would be that motherboard, and 6x R9 290 card.

In regards to the motherboard with 6 pci-e slots, can a pci-e x16 card be used (with an adapter) in a pci-e x1 slot without any performance loss? Or if there is performance loss, will it be a significant loss? Same goes for using pci-e x16 card with pci-e x8 and x4, is there any loss there?
