Hey, as per posting in the newbie section I'm new here, and this would be way better suited for the hardware section, but I'm limited to here right now. Anyway, basically a friend of mine told me about Bitcoin mining and I thought it was unbelievable. Long story short, I started looking into ASIC computers and I was really hoping to start saving money to get a 50 GH/s mining rig, but I realized that it could take a few months to ship and it could take me a few months to save the money necessary to pay for it so I'm looking for alternatives.

Right now, I'm still in high school and I'm looking for help in funding a small business that I can jump-start when I turn 18, and a multi GH/s rig sounds like it would be perfect. Right now I want to say that $3,000 is going to be my limit especially since right now I have $0 and working for a few months will help change that. But I'm also looking for something substantial that is definitely going to help with funding and not just become a power hungry money burden. Now I'll be honest, I just learned about all of this stuff yesterday and have been researching heavily.

What I'm hoping for is something that's 20+ GH/s, but I don't know if that's possible with just $3,000. You know, any advice is appreciated, and if someone would like to yell at me and tell me I'm crazy, then just let me know! Thank you!
