Thanks again Chuck. Again, the input is appreciated. I've been out of mining for quite some time.

Thanks, it's a bit of a joint venture with a friend who's new to crypto. So maybe a cheaper one might be a good way to break him in to this expensive hobby Wink

A good break in miner would be either the Rx-Box or the Antminer S1.

Mid tier maybe the Habanero or the RK-Box.

Farm status the Dragon's, A1's, Antminer S2's, Spondoolies and above.

Get a couple of Dragons or A1 based miners @ 1 TH/s each.

They've come down in price so they're around the $1500-$1800 range now.

Either that or if you're more budget conscious, get a few Antminer S1s.

Thank you ChuckBuck. You're input is appreciated. I was thinking about the pricier ones you mentioned, but thought I'd pick some brains before diving in.

No problem.  Some possibilities for you to look at:

Dragon 1 T from Lee Group:

From fellow member Easy2Mine, Dragon 1T for $1599:

So I haven't mined all that much for a while due to space and cost constraints.

But I have an office I can use for a few miners now.

What would you guys recommend as a good miner to purchase right now, taking into account I will have no energy costs?

I'm not wanting to spend more than a few BTC ideally.

Thanks!
