I have built 5 rigs now and counting. I have tried a variety of combinations, NVIDIA Chipsets for Lyra algo and the likes, but the most bang for your buck so far is Ether Mining Rigs.

Here is a list of hardware and Cost Estimate for each to order from Amazon, UK
I assume some basic knowledge of Windows Management - so hope it comes as a given than Operating System - Windows 7 is to be installed.

This post is all about components necessary to build a full featured Mining rig, primarily from Hardware ordering perspective.
