Poor Man's Bitcoin Mining Rig Update 3x

Three ASICMiner 300MHz Block Erupters in an AmazonBasics hub with a fan. Each miner actually performs at over 333 MH/s so the full setup gets a modest 1GH/s, about 0.0008 BTC/day at current difficulty, uses about 10W energy. (The tape is to keep the hub from tipping over from the weight of the fan and miners. And yes, I know how embarrassing this looks; I use the word "rig" with no small sense of self-aware irony.)

 

UPDATE: I sold this whole rig 3 weeks later at a modest profit.
