"Hey guys, just spent the weekend building a home crypto mining rig on the tightest budget possible and I'm stoked with the results. I managed to put together a rig that can mine most popular algo coins for under $500, with some models breaking even under $1000. Want to share your own build experiences and see what others have done on a shoestring budget?"

"Nice DIY project! I built mine on a similar budget and just got my first batch of RX 6600s. Running 6 of them on a 650W EVGA power supply, getting around 40-50 H/s each."

"Lol, nice score OP! I was thinking of building a rig myself but I ended up buying a used one for half the price. What GPU and CPU combo you using?"
"Dude, I just threw together a 6 GPU rig for ~$800 and it's been crushing it on HiveOS. You should check out the older 1660 super or 3070 ti for some decent mining performance without breaking the bank. Also, don't forget to factor in electric costs and cooling!"
"Haha, I see some of you went all out with the full-on mining rigs . My take is, it's not about spending a ton of cash on fancy hardware, but finding a good balance between cost, efficiency, and what you're mining. I just built a rig with 6x GTX 1060s and a Raspberry Pi for under $500."

"Nice job on building your mining rig on a budget! I've got a similar setup, but I used some second-hand GPUs that I found for a steal. Currently getting around 30 ETH per month from my 6x NVIDIA cards, not bad for a few hundred bucks invested"
"Congrats on the build! I've been thinking of doing something similar, but I'm still debating whether it's worth the noise and power consumption for the current market rates. What kind of GPU's did you end up with for that price range?"
