Find a way to build a bare-bones machine that is a super-fast multi-core CPU + GPU, Flash Drive, Linux and Ethernet port. Liquid cooling might be more effecient and use less power than fans. Power it all by solar power. Profitable? No, but fun? Yes!

If you're using ASIC miners you don't need a beefy machine at all. I run cgminer on a little Raspberry Pi B+, the ASICs do all the hard work.
If you're mining a coin that needs a CPU (no ASIC yet) you'd be better off spending more money on a gruntier CPU rather than worrying about l33t stuff like gigs of RAM, high end GPUs, and fast SSDs.
