The 11 Things You'll Need to Start Mining Ethereum

Building a mining rig is surprisingly easy.  Anyone can do it with a little bit of learning.  In this post I'll be listing the most important pieces you will need to get started.


  • A motherboard with multiple PCI-E slots.
  • Multiple Graphics Cards (Up to how many your motherboard can support)
  • A Power Supply
  • PCI-Risers
  • Ram
  • WiFi Adapter
  • SSD (Solid State Drive)
  • A Processor
  • Power Strip
  • Mining Rig Frame
  • Software (Linex or Windows)

Make sure you understand all the costs, risks, and rate of return before you start spending loads of cash on mining hardware.

Electricity will be one of the main variable costs in this investment.  If you live in an area with high electricity costs it might not be worth your time to spend thousands of dollars on setting up a mining rig.

Many miners take months to see their initial investment returned.  Everything after that is straight profit if done right.


When all is said and done it should look something like this:
