bought an antminer S3 (used)
Credit goes to dogie on a great guide for this - https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/guide-dogies-comprehensive-bitmain-antminer-s3-setup-hd-702653
It is a pretty easy setup.
Thnx a lot for the guide, I was also going through few other threads regarding load balancing and distributed mining using multiple pools:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/mine-in-multiple-pools-to-reduce-variance-78031
I have few more questions, can I attach 3 miners each with 1Th/s capacity and each one of them configured to mine on the same set of pools (BTCguild, Ghash.io, Slush) to a single pc?
If yes, then hypothetically, will I have a combined 3Th/s capacity to be distributed to the set of mining pool at the same time?
Yes look at pool each can be different. But you can have multiple workers on a pool.
As far as distributed set.... if you mean splitting and mining at multiple at once it is a whole different thing. You can easily set up backup pools on the S3 but I'm not sure if you can do the quota rules on it and mine more then one at once.
