If you're dead set on buying mining equipment that ships in a week and using your credit card, I'd recommend this company:

http://minersource.net/

Not the best prices, but should be on your doorstep in less than a week and you can use either bank wire, BTC, or credit card to pay.

Also, if you're just starting out, I'd recommend one of the smaller miners like the Rockminer R-box or Antminer S1 to see if mining is for you.

WARNING !! Anything bobsags3 related is a scam.

Wait, minersource.net isn't reputable? Crap... I ordered something from them a week ago (but it hasn't arrived it).

:\



You never actually researched info about the seller before ordering? Cheesy You like the risk don't you?


I did research it a bit, and also saw them slathered all over this and other forums. They seemed legit.

This is the first "splurge" I've done on mining gear, and I can't afford for it to be a bust.  It is supposed to arrive on Wednesday... should I inspect it and look for anything obvious, or try and outright send it back?

I'd check it, there's a chance it actually works. I think some people got working hardware from him. Get a camera and record the unboxing so you have proof in case it came damaged.

Tell us how it went.
