    Mining Rig from Scrap?

    So I was thinking about trying to recycle some of the PC scrap I have on hand to make a basic GPU mining rig. Unfortunately I am too far removed from current tech to do this on my own. Wondering if anyone would have some advice.


    What is a good minimum CPU to use?
    I am going to look over the PCs that I have not scrapped yet, is there any one in particular that I should look for? (operating system, processor, etc. or Brand)
    I imagine I will have to buy a GPU card for the job, but if that is all I have to buy, that would be cool.


    I know this isn't a cryptocurrency forum, but I know some of you really know your hardware and thought this type of recycle project might be fun. Thanks!

    Copper, brass, and Leather. 3 of my favorite things.
