Hi, I had posted but am not listed, hope you have room for me too!
remember you can daisey chain psus to keep it cheap too. Perhaps you already have some lower wattage (still good) ones.
yikes, how do you do that? isn't that a fire hazard

That depends on the rules of the pool, but as far as I know most of the popular pools don't offer any sort of bonus to anyone lucky enough to have been the one that found the necessary nonce.
yeah, you almost don't want to know, because it's sort of like "hey, I COULD have had 25BTC"
Actually, you couldn't: the rest of the pool is contributing by finding incorrect solutions - thus increasing your chance of finding a correct solution.
*sighs* can't mine...
the fact that they submit incorrect solutions does not increase your chance
in theory, if you'd been soloing, you'd have found 25BTC
although in practice, when you mine you are trying to find a different block vs what you'd search soloing,

What happens when you find a block?
if you are in a pool, nothing, you don't even know it
if you solo, it looks like someone sent you 25BTC exchept it says "mined"
I have been wanting to build a dedicated miner for a little while now, and I figured I should post some questions so I don't end up wasting money and time.
When it comes to a GPU miner, do I need to worry about my CPU at all? Can I buy a cheap/non-powerful cpu and be perfectly fine? I would think so, but I am not 100% sure how exactly the miners work exactly, still trying to figure that out.
Also, a little off topic, is there a way to daisy-chain together GPUs for extra power? Or would I have to just use each one as a separate device mining (using GUIMiner)?
Thanks in advance

for bitcoin, just GPU. cpu and ram dont matter
buy the cheapest AMD cpu and 2GB ram and you should be fine.
for litecoin, I think cpu+ram play a part (small part) but it's still on the GPU
