If you guys are looking for a cheap build to use, here's what I'm using for my mining rig:
  1. AMD Sempron 145 Processor 2.8GHZ Socket AM3 1MB L2 Cache 45W Retail Box
  2. MSI 970A-G46 ATX AM3+ 970 DDR3 2PCI-E16 SLI CrossFire 2PCI-E1 2PCI SATA3 USB3.0 GBLAN Motherboard
  3. Corsair VS2GB1333D3 2GB 1X2GB DDR3-1333 240PIN DIMM Memory
  4. Corsair CX Series CX750M 750W ATX 12V 80 Plus Bronze Modular Power Supply

$236 after PM and taxes.

I didn't buy a HDD or a case because I plan on running Linux off a USB thumb drive and running my computer out of a cardboard box. If you wanted to shave some more cash off, you can probably find a cheaper motherboard (above is 79.99).

With the above build, you should be able to run two GPUs. I'm looking at 2x 7950, which theoretically can yield 1200MH/s. Also, with a AM3 socket motherboard, you can easily turn your mining rig into a gaming desktop later on.
