1) Join bitcointalk forums.
2) Peruse briefly the custom hardware forums
3) Pick the first new mining hardware that claims to achieve some new standard in performance available "soon" and fork out thousands of dollars for it as a preorder before doing any more research.
4) Huh

5) Loss

I rarely agree with ck, but I have to say what he's said here is right on the money.

Yea.

Our miners are modular. All but the 80ghs can be upgraded. We've drop shipped over 30+ "hashing drives" to our current customers which have received our smaller miners. We use hotslot bay drives in our miners and drill holes in the heat sinks to place sata input slots.

see..

Our terrahash miners have a similar functionality as well.

Sorry but 128gh for $1900 is way to expensive!

1) Apply (and get accepted) to university for Electrical Engineering.
2) Work your f*ing ass off for 3-5 years.
3) Design PCB.
4) ? ? ? ?
5) Profit.

3-5 If you have all your calculus and Physics done prior to thinking about doing this. If not add 2+ years.

BintexFutures

buy a mountain of coincraft chips,

get a PCBA specced

plug it into a controller and PSU

mine away.

Take one asic cube, then one more, ...one more, ...one more and so on... You can stick them together very nice. Like Lego.
In overclocked mode you need about 80 of them and your done with 3Th.

Life can be so easy, isn't it?

aaah, you need some PSU also...

I am new to mining, and I have been reading more than I care to about the process. I am just gonna ask the dumb question and expect the flames to start flying lol.

I want to know if there is a way to build a 3TH mining machine. I want something modular so I can start small and scale my way up to 3TH. Is there already set of devices or equipment that you can keep adding too like this? Is it possible? how much would it cost (initial setup, and per module to the 3th target)? And how big would this machine be?

Learn Chinese, then ask this question in the Chinese forums Wink

Short answer,
Forget about it!

there is no such a ting like modular asic miner.
you can start buying 180gh antminers one by one but that will not take you anywhere.
you need to buy them 16-17 to have 3TH miner and with each of them you buy you will have bigger and bigger hashrate but at the same time bigger and bigger power consumption and earnings/unit will be smaller and smaller with every diff jump!
so considering all this you can realize why there is no point in modular miners and why companys don't produce them.

do some more research!

You need to do your research because obviously you haven't.
