Get a 7950, overclock it and mine Litecoins.

If you want hardware in that price range go to some Avalon chips group buy thread (here are EU based group-buys and they are offering assembly for a complete miner):

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/closedavalon-chips-0081-btc-globalescrow-batch2-secured-189582

Here is a list of all assemblers of Avalon ASIC Miners:

There are also group-buys offering shares and hosting of KnC miners and Metabank.ru, look under
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=137.0

And be prepared to wait... for september.

ASICMiners shares... at 3.5BTC/share? They are paying dividends every two weeks, around 0.025BTC average, so calculate for yourself. Of course, you can sell your shares later.

probably go back to your Cave dwellings they are tons of information you couldn't bother to read.

Hey thanks for that very thoughtful and helpful tidbit of knowledge.. I have read through much here in the forum, and since I clearly have more of a social life than you, I don't understand it all (because I'm out having a life and such..).  Thus, I came here to ask the helpful group for help and advice.. Others have risen to the occasion.. You have failed miserably..  But it was entertaining so for that, I thank you..

You can't make money buying mining hardware right now. You missed out on ASICs. You would have had to order last year from BFL or Avalon batch 1 to make a return.


You best bet is to go to bitfunder.com and buy ASIC Miner shares.

honestly, I wouldn't invest in hardware right now.  I would either just buy BTC to hold, or buy shares of something listed on https://btct.co/

but if your solely looking for hardware, you only have 2 real options.  search the forums, you know it to be true.

I'm just getting into BTC and mining, and figured I could plunk down a few hundred$$ of my hobby money on a ASIC (or other) hardware solution.  I was all ready to throw all of my money at Butterfly Labs, but I dont really feel like waiting a year.. I'm also not to keen on what I'm reading about their quality of customer support..
So, what other all-in-one solutions are out there in the sub $500 range?  And no, i am not interested in building my own PC based kludge..
