...was having some problems with developers not agreeing on something and I believe there was even this US team vs some other country's developer team. Didn't even bother reading more about it.

Same could be said for Bitcoin.

I've made a small fortune from BURST; paid for my 70TB farm a few times over.  Doesn't add to overhead since I already have PCs mining GPU and CPU.

I don’t doubt it but the people involved in burst are children. One needs only to check the forums for evidence of that. The only reason anyone has made money is because crypto in general went up.

Burst coin has a very bleak future due to the constant infighting and childish behavior from the devs.

Real question is how much i can profit from hdd mining rig compare it with same price of gpu rig?

Are you talking about mining HDD coins like burstcoin (is there anything else?)?

I think the problem with these unknown HDD coins is that the technology is behind cloud storage oriented coins like SIACOIN or STORJ. Last i checked, burstcoin was having some problems with developers not agreeing on something and I believe there was even this US team vs some other country's developer team. Didn't even bother reading more about it.

Basically, IMHO, not much room to grow for these kinds of coins.

While there is lots of Hype to go out, sell your kidney and maybe one of your kids so you can build a nice GPU mining rig... Please don't forget about the coins that you are able to "Mine" with your HDD (Done in quotations because some arn't classified as mining).
Internal hard drives, External hard drives, Solid State Drives and USB sticks are a wholeeeee lot cheaper than GPU's and $10, 000 MOBOs.
You're also going to save a ton on electricity.
While it is a little bit of a pain in the butt, and not a whole lot of Currencies have this option, it is still very much worth the while.
I'm not going to go through and list them all, that is for you to research.

I just want to toss this out there for whomever may see this as being more up their ally.

Cheers everyone and Happy Mining!
