Thinking about buying one of these setups, but which one would be worth it, and why?

http://promotions.newegg.com/nepro/14-3540/index.html

My price range is from 1000-2000 dollars, and i want to make a decent sized amount of bitcoins to sit on, or spend.

Would any of these make me enough bit coins to profit?

mining is dead.

 

(Better off if you invest that money in something else)

I pretty much feel the same way,

 

if you want mining coins, just buy them out right and save them, maybe they might be worth something if you keep them long enough.

For the same amount of money, it's extremely likely you could buy more coins instantly than you could mine over the lifetime of the hardware.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Users cannot, and will not securely manage key material. Most users can't and the ones that can, wont.

Ask me about Bitcoin, Litecoin, Crypto-Currencies, and/or Mining them.

These setups use GPU's for mining you arent going to get anything if you're mining SHA256-based  coins (bitcoin) with it. You might get something if you mine scrypt-based coins (litecoin, dogecoin) with it but even then the chance of you breaking even anytime soon is small. Considering that this is essentially a prebuilt you're better of building it yourself.

Get one of the ASRock boards meant for it, drop in a cheap Celeron or Pentium, then load up all of those PCI-E slots with ASICs.

None of them.

It's so unprofitable to mine with GPU you will never make your money back. You're better off that you get an AntMiner S2 or some sort of actual mining machine but be careful as there are class-action lawsuits against a lot of these companies but as far as I know antminer doesn't have one against them. Just get one on ebay
