So I've got a working machine, sans GPU card. I used a Dell with a Vostro 230 Mother board, Dual Core CPU, 4GB RAM, 750W power supply, and am using a 1TB laptop hard drive.
I had to erase the hard drive and I installed Lubuntu. I thought I would start doing some CPU mining until I can buy a GPU. I don't know Lubuntu at all though and wasn't successful installing the miners I needed. So i'm going to have to install Windows 7 to continue.
I thought I would start with CPU mining of Verium and Sumokoin. I'll have to sell some more scrap until I can afford a proper GPU, then I will probably mine Ethereum or Zcash. I'll update this thread as I make more progress.
