Thanks!

I think the best advice is to just make sure you only spend what you can afford to risk not making back. I was able to sell a portion of another investment of mine to put together this rig. Since I did that I am able to enjoy mining even though my ROI is still many months away. It's really a hobby for me now and I have no regrets.

I think I'll make a post soon about what I'd do differently in regards to mining if I knew what I know now back in January.
