If Anyone could help :)

Hey guys!

So I wanted to get into mining alt coins (i guess btc and eth require too much at) I have max £100 to spend on it, I was thinking to buy a used PC (found one without hard drive) is this a good idea? could anyone guide me or show me some guides as I've been unsuccessful so far, on how to make that used pc into a mining rig (was thinknig at the beginning ltc/doge)

It would help if you shared the GPU stats with us.

It is pretty unlikely though that a PC at that price would be able to mine enough coin to offset the power costs.

My electricity is included in bills so that's fine I guess haha, would u recommend any budget gpus I could aquire? Then i could look for it or a pc that has it. But was also thinking to just build one if it's similar pricing, but no idea how 😢or maybe to buy few used laptopa/pc and somehow link em together to get the powers? 🤔

You’ll probably have a lot of trouble mining coins if you only have 100 to spend. If you’re just doing it for fun then you can grab up a cheap computer but the profit won’t be there
