the last couple of days I been reading a lot about building a mining rig or password cracking rig. To me they seem the same thing. Since I been playing a lot with hashcat and wordlist i thought i would just build a password cracking rig for hashes and wpa2.
Like i said since I"m new I need to figure out the hardware I need to buy. I'm on a budget at the moment since having a baby couple weeks ago. I"m thinking around $600 to $800 if possible i know it's not much for now but need to find good deals around. But Im hoping down the road I will put more money into the rig or even more cards for faster cracking.
I might use it for mining while at work then when i'm at home switch over to cracking hashes. Since I'm a newbie I was thinking of running linux version since that's what I work at home ...
Trust me I looked around youtube and other sites for basic configuration to start with and adding more down the road.
The fine folks over at Netmux have you all squared away. See

It's above your price point, but you don't need all four GPU cards. I built my rig right from these specs (using 1080s, not 1070s) and it worked perfectly. The software is a bit dated, but still works.
