The apartment block I'm living in at the moment only has the price of electricity included in the rent and only has one meter for the entire building hence everyone abuses the free electricity by leaving TVs on all day and having bar fridges in their rooms etc. I'm already mining BTC and a few other SHA-256 cryptos with a Terraminer IV going 24/7 but would like to start getting into mining Scrypt/Scrypt-N coins and maybe even XPM which I believe is only capable of being mined with CPUs at this stage? I have my personal PC which severely needs an upgraded GPU and power supply so I'd have an excuse to leave it hashing away while I'm out for most of the day.
Should I buy myself one of these: http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=25734&zenid=e87397295669b3f2fa97825633106d4f
Or a couple of these and crossfire them: http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=25734&zenid=e87397295669b3f2fa97825633106d4f
Or is there known issues with trying to mine with XFX cards?
I know cheap Scrypt ASIC miners are allegedly just around the corner but if my GPU mining can even hash away for a few weeks before they hit then it'll pay for at least a small percentage of the GPU and contribute a few hundred kH/s to the network.
