That is about as far as I got with my research. ASICs look like the only option these days. I am not sure if I am confused the way I am looking at them. Besides being hard to get it seems that the vast majority of them you would barely break even on even with factoring in the power.
Any advice would be great. I have not done any crypto mining other than a few tries a few years ago on a pc. The company I work for does IT stuff and one of the data centers I deal with offered to give me a full rack for $400 a month, with unlimited internet, power, and they keep the data center...
