Firstly, in order to build a mining rig there are a number of things to think about and parts to purchase. I have split some of these out below from my latest builds. A lot of these can be swapped out for an alternative option.
We make our recommendation focusing on efficiency and ease of use, ideal for beginners but do your own research as always.
