Hey @derp91 on my blog I have some videos talking about mining and my opinions on it,

Here's a tutorial on what I used and how to set up a more "higher class" rig...

But In terms of whether it's a good idea for you to get into... that depends on a lot of factors.

How much are you planning to invest in your machines?

what currencies do you want to mine?

is your sole purpose of mining to make a quick profit?

Do you have adequate electrical circuits in your home?

Is your cost for electric too high?

Do you have experience building, troubleshooting, and maintaining/cleaning computers?

All these questions are very important to ask yourself as well as consider before you dive into buying any costly equipment.

Let me know anyway I can help though!
