When you build a mining rig you need to take into consideration are you going to ever want to use the GPU s for something else? If so buy with them brand new and make sure you get it the GPU registered since they will be cranking at 100% at about 75C. If not get them used, I prefer this method as you can buy a 6850 for about 75 bucks if you do it right. Also need…

The cost is around $2 per GH/s (Gigahash per second) for beginning plans and towards $1.7 per GH/s for larger plans. The payouts are done automatically per day to your desired Bitcoin address. I was offered to test their 150Gh/s plan. It costs $279 a year, and it returns…
