Hey Colin. Thanks for the quick reply. Currently i am planning to buy two of these units and have all the needed drivers installed.
With the drivers sorted, you will need some mining software, like CGMiner https://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer which can control the miners and communicate with the pool.
It is especially important to upgrade if you currently have version 0.9.0 installed and are using the graphical interface OR you are using bitcoind from any pre-0.9.1 version, and have enabled SSL for RPC and have configured allowip to allow rpc connections from potentially hostile hosts.

The plugs on the motherboard only go one way withhout chopping bits up or forcing beyond what is reasonable.
Populate all the motherboard power sockets with all the power plugs you have, same goes for the PSU plugs and GPU plugs.
You can't go wrong.

Re: is there a difficulty to hash rate ratio?

As the hashrate of the network for a particular coin rises, the difficulty rises to compensate and keep the number of coins mined per time interval, constant.
Follow-up: Having attempted to sign up for cex.io, I found it is closed to me, as I do not have a mobile phone. Just a landline. So, scratch another site off the list. Funny, I sensed it wasn't for me, and now I know. Thanks anyhow.
Have you tried to follow the sign-up at cex.io but omit entering a phone number? You may be surprised!
qoinpro.com is a source for free coins, without the faucet captcha and cex.io is a way to get into mining without the hardware. Good luck in your venture.

My only wish is that I had heard about it and got on board a long time ago.
I would not use a laptop pre-installed with anything for cryptos. Will format hard disk and install everything myself.
Exactly, why trust someone else when you can do the work yourself.

Avoid answering your question, sorry. Coins that came after bitcoin were an attempt at a 'better' coin, however the dev saw 'better'. I can't see why anyone would have made a 100% clone as there would be no improvement.
