A mining rig is a computer system used for mining bitcoins. The rig might be a dedicated miner where it was procured, built and operated specifically for mining or it could otherwise be a computer that fills other needs, such as performing as a gaming system, and is used to mine only on a part-time basis.
Typical Configuration
The following component list could be used to build a new rig. To minimize shipping costs, components from the same supplier were preferred over compenents from the least expensive source.
