Those "mining starter packs" and "mining kits" on that page aren't for Bitcoin mining are they? Surely they must be for Litecoin or altcoin mining?

They can technically be used for any kind of mining but they are likely marketed towards scrypt based mining.

Well most of the cost of the mining kits is due to the multiple graphics cards so it must be for scrypt or altcoin mining since there's really no point in mining Bitcoin with GPUs anymore. I don't see any mention of Litecoin on that page however. Just Bitcoin. Weird.

Pretty sure the middle one is for algorithms other than scrypt. It already has asics plus AMD GPUs are faster when it comes to solving scrypt. Surely GPUs are not for bitcoin mining too.

AMD GPUs are faster but the middle one comes with six graphics cards whereas the others only come with three.
