I disagree with the crowd that say you should not build your own. You certainly can, as in building a PC, but need to garner a bit of knowledge (not much really) about ASICs in relation to cryptocurrency if you are not going to lose your lot. You'll also have to find suppliers e.g the manufacturers that make the dragon type rigs (the bitmain window closed with the discontinuing of the S1 upgrade kit, that would have been a nice one for you!). If you want to fabricate your own boards, there are ASIC manufacturers that will sell you the chips so you can make your own design, bitfury used to (I think they are bust!), blackarrow do etc.

Depending on why you want to build your own there are options galore if you put the time in to research. If you are just looking to mine and hoard BTC, then you're better off buying off the shelf stuff (bitmain, spoondoolies etc).

Just my 2 pence!

Building a miner isn't the same as building a PC. You should let the professionals handle it and buy from a manufacturer. Unless you have a background in this sort of thing, stick with professionally built miners.

Look at buying SP20.  Has lot's of underclocking possibility. 

You will need to buy from someone such as SP, Bitmain, etc.   You really can not make your own asic.  You can buy them and grow, but as far as "building" it would cost more then what you can buy from manufacturers.

Hi guys. I am looking to continue building a custom mining rig, where I can just add in parts as I go. I normally make anywhere from 4-15k a month that I can put in to upgrading this thing, and will have about $1000 to start it with.

I'm looking for someone who wants to make 10% for simply telling me what parts to get. You'll make money for just helping me set it up.
