So newegg has that card thing you can sign up for "No Payments + No Interest if paid in full for up to 12 months". So if I was to sign up for that and buy a rig, could I make my money back before 12 months mining lite coins? If so, what components should I get?

Probably but I think it's a good method. But since mining rigs have a various amount of graphics card and that the difficulty is now even harder the stakes are high.

IDK I'll go check my bill. (This will probably take an hour)

Okay, using a ltc calculator you can estimate your profits. I am doing the calculation now.

in the end i would still say don't gamble with money you don't own :S

 

I agree, there's no sense in putting bets you can't handle, say it works out - then great!

 

but if it doesn't or say you don't make as much as your effort put in then :(

Check out the build: Used to be Obot, now Lilith

Shameless: Me

Okay, I used 1910 kW, and my bill was $130. That should be 0.06806282722 per kW right?

I would think so. I will edit this post with the numbers.

 

 

SHOULD pay for it self in 7 months and $300 or so per month profit.

 

Difficulty goes up so each month you will make less and less so keep that in mind. Here is the build I would recommend. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2zNE8

Would there be any other coin that would get the job done faster?
