first of all i am doing this for fun and of course i hope to make a little coin or two
and i have free electricity

i have been looking at (Bitfury Twin Chip USB ASIC bitcoin miner 4~5 GH/s) it cost 45$
and also (49 Port Powered USB 2.0 Hub) 200$
and a Raspberry Pi whit card and cables 70,99$

there is room for 28 usb miner in the usb hub so that is around 140GH/s
is that okay to start whit

and the whole setup will only cost me around 1530$

If you're thinking of throwing away money at USB sticks at 140 GH/s for $1530 I have a better solution for you:

Get in on that Group Buy for $1650, and you'll end up with an S2 at 1 TH/s shipped in over a week or 10 times what you almost threw your money at.

Thank me later.

or he could just buy 6 S1 for less than 3 BTC Cheesy

I would've suggested the S-1's too just to get the extra hash, but with Bitmain's reveal that you'll be able to overclock to 1.8-2 TH/s with the S2 soon, I think the S2's the better way to go.
