This is a 🧵on how to build a mining rig. I will include all of the required components to build a rig manually, links to pre-built rigs, & how-to guide to get started mining $ERG - the cryptocurrency built for the future.
Please keep in mind, this is a baseline list of parts. You can choose any manufacturer & upgrade performance based on personal preference. I also kept budget in mind. The parts listed here will run a very efficient rig.
Required components:

1. Frame
2. Motherboard
3. PSU
4. CPU
5. Hard drive
6. RAM
7. GPU risers
8. Fans (depending on the frame)
9. GPUs
10. Operating System (Windows or Hive OS)
Frame:

There are many frames to choose from. Go with something similar to what I have here.

Motherboard:

I recommend an ASRock.

PSU:

This is hands down the best PSU you buy.
amazon.com/dp/B07N4QD7RM?…

I have purchased cheaper PSUs & had them fail early on. These rigs run 24/7.

CPU:

You can go higher, but this unit will more than suffice.
Hard Drive -

There are literally hundreds of drives to choose from. I have this drive in one of my rigs. Make sure it's a SATA SSD & at least 60GB.
RAM-

*Ensure your memory is compatible with your motherboard if you choose a different board. 8 GB will suffice for 6 GPUs. If you have any more than 6, I recommend 16GB.
Fans:

*If your frame requires them.

GPUs:

This is where the party gets started. There are hundreds to choose from. I recommend NVIDIA cards. IMO, they are more efficient & you can mine a better variety of coins.

I recommend a 3060ti or higher.
Pre-Bulit Rig:

Two options: Both are great. The first rig I built I purchased from the first link below. Be sure to check the quality of the components, if you choose a pre-built rig. *You will need to purchase GPUs.

This site will show you the hash rate & profitability from a variety of GPUs. This will help you choose the card that fits your budget & provides the most hash rate.
OS:

Hive OS
hiveon.com/os/

Hands down the best OS to run & manage your rig(s).
You can also install Windows. Hive OS is free.
A guide to get started mining:
$ERG

You can also mine $ERG using a single GPU in an existing computer/workstation.

Here's a video from @SonOfATech mining on Windows.
