I am not sure how or whether it's possible to use the official Bitcoin client for btcguild.
- I'm actually going to try setting up a small rig in my closet ;-) I think you could get at least a few coins per month with a cheap PC as long as it has a PCIexpress slot (should be able to find one of them somewhere between $0 and $150) and a reasonable GPU such as an ATI Radeon HD5830 which you can pick up for $200.
