Bitcoin mining can be a great way to support the Bitcoin network. It can be fun and, also, rewarding. However, there can be moments of high stress for things both in and out of your control such as a down ISP, heat, noise or a bad router.

If you're curious about profitability, CoinWarz provides you the tools you'll need to run a pro-forma analysis. You'll also need a power supply. There are ATX and server power supplies. Many of the manufacturers produce their own. But you must ensure to use a 110v compatible power supply if in North America.

Here is a short list of Bitcoin miner manufacturers:

BITMAIN

  • Most efficient miner

Tell me what I missed

There may be new companies coming online or leaving this space all the time. The mainstream computer manufacturers are beginning to take notice. ASRock recently released the H110 Pro BTC+ and it sold out almost instantly.

I hope this helps give an overview of the current manufacturers of Bitcoin (BTC) computer manufacturers. It's short and sweet.
