If you just got into the crypto mining universe lately, your properly wondering where to start.
Mine or buy?
well.. if you're into computers and have a bit of courage, then mining "can" be profitable and fun!
if you wanted to setup a rig that is easy to use and doesn't require a lot of time after the initial setup the check out cryptobadgers guide on setting up a linux machine mining ethereum here: http://www.cryptobadger.com/build-your-own-ethereum-mining-rig/

It is a super simple step by step guide that gives all the information you need even if you are new to linux or mining in general!

Pretty hard to find GPU's right now, if you have the money gtx 1060 and 1070 is not bad miners when looking at MHs per watt, but the initial investment is high
