Time for a Cryptocurrency Miner Build

What was the total cost? And what do you anticipate a daily/monthly return would be?

Total cost was $3400. That included the motherboard, risers, memory, CPU, GPU's, power supply's, and USB drive.

I don't have an expectation on the daily/monthly return will be. I am not in it just for the money. I like playing with crypto, so I tend to mine and hold.

Any idea on anticipated Hash power tho?

Depends on the algorithm. They are RX 580's with 4GB of memory, 2304 cores, 256bit bus, and 1366Mhz clock. So not the very top-end, but definitely up there.

Do it up!! I'll follow for results!

I may take some pictures/video and blog depending how frustrated I get. Something wrong always happens. At least once. Just my history with building systems. ..but it is those challenges that I do enjoy (sometimes).

I was looking into miners in the future but I want to buy them with bitcoins I've earned.

Bitcoin specific miners are special ASIC systems, purpose built, and very expensive. GPU's don't have the power to compete. But other crypos can be mined. I know you can rent miners with crypto and likely pay for components as well.
