hey forum!

I'm heading to college within the next month and was hoping to work. The college is located in a very small town where it's literally impossible to find work for weekends/afterschool. I've been keeping up to date with the bitcoin scene and I was thinking about building/buying a rig. Because electricity is included in the dorms I'm able to buy a rig with a high power input. I have around $1000 (+-$500) to either build a rig or buy one on craigslist/ebay. Does anybody have a setup in the budget that would make it worth mining for the next 8 months.

I have two weeks to figure this stuff out before I move, as for now i'm still searching on youtube for videos on self built rigs for $1k-$1.5k.

usually close by my computer for a reply, thanks in advance!

Keep in mind when you say "high power" you still have power limit's. It will be wired for normal use, don't expect to have thousands of watt's or anything or you will be flipping breakers.

Also keep in mind sound/heat. Depending on dorm room configuration it could get really annoying during studying. But your best bet is S3's in there most likely as far as a miner with decent power with not to much heat.
