Re: What would you do with ~$10,000?

Either buy a KNC miner or build a scrypt mining rig. With 10 grand you probably can build a good one.

Thanks. Yes we decided to build a scrypt mining rig. Parts ordered and should arrive soon.

To get started our first rig will cost about £1,100 ($1,800). That'll get us to about 2.7Mh/s and energy usage of about 990watts.
Hope to do a 2 week test and then invest the rest into more rigs. (farm)

Out of interest what sort of £/$/btc/ltc per day per Mh/s would you aim for?

So far I am seeing references to about 5.5USD per day per Mh/s but hoping to hit about 8.

$1800 USD for 2.7 mh/s at 990W?

Please direct me to your supplier!

Your talking 2k in gpus alone? I want your supplier too! Only way to get close to this would be 3 heavily OC'd R9 290x's. It will use closer to 1300 watts and you still have to buy the rest of the components to build the rig.

Exactly. I priced out a 2.9 mh/s scrypt rig with a 4-year square trade warranty through Tiger Direct (IMO, this warranty is absolutely essential for minimizing risk) for $3600, though this includes installation costs which I could save on by building it myself. This is one of the most cost-efficient solutions I know of. And, I repeat, that warranty is essential!!
