I don’t like the total cost of the computer. You could do without the keyboard, mouse, monitor. In addition, get the cheapest RAM stick you can find, a cheap 8GB SSD (energy saving) then install Debian 5. Access it through SSH and turn on bitcoin. You could easily do it to $300-$500 less and cut power costs by getting a high-efficiency PSU.
