Title: Re: Best Mining Rig Build on a Budget - Share Your Expensive Mistakes, We Learn

Hey guys, I'm looking to build a mining rig on a tight budget (~$1000) and don't wanna replicate someone else's expensive mistakes. I just wasted a bunch of cash on a "top-tier" GPU that turned out to be obsolete for mining, so sharing your costly blunders would be super helpful! What were some of your biggest mining rig build regrets?

"I gotta say, I learned my lesson the hard way - don't skimp on the power supply! I went with a cheap one for my first build and it died on me within a month. Now I'm rocking a 650w EVGA SuperNOVA and loving it"

"Lol, don't worry about expensive mistakes, I've had my fair share. Bought some second-hand 1060s thinking they'd be a good mining rig, but they ended up being a 30% hash rate loss compared to the 1070s I should've bought instead. Now they're sitting in the garage, collecting dust "

"Yooo, just wanted to share my experience - I tried to go all-in on a 6GB 3080 for my rig, but it ended up being a total waste of cash. Ended up selling it for like 20% of the original price. Now I'm rocking a sweet 4GB 3060 setup and saving a ton of dough."

Is Solidity still relevant?

"Man, I'm still kicking myself for buying those old 6GB 1060s a year ago. I tried to build a rig on a budget and ended up overpaying for those GPUs. Now they're basically worthless, wish I'd gone for the 8GB ones instead "
