Hi Forum,
I'm new to this forum and completely new to mining however, I'm very keen on mining altcoins at home - In particular, ETH and LTC.
Can someone guide me in the right direction from start to finish i.e.
1) Competitive hardware required i.e. Mining rig/machine, GPU, AC to keep location cool
2) Electricity usage breakdowns and calculators
3) Mining pool suggestions
Would be great to get the ball rolling on this for alts. Look forward to your response guys

Since you are point to ETH and LTC in particular you will need powerful GPUs for ETH and of course Asic miner for LTC, forget AMD cards for ETH, NVIDIA is the best for mining Ethereum, I suggest cards like GTX1070 or the ti variants, just make sure the memory of the cards is from 4gig up
