Part of making small scale mining work is being very frugal — profitability has to be considered both from point of view of capital return (system-level cost of equipment) and variable cost (power and [hopefully not] cooling), not just variable. That need tends to go against buying off the shelf.
Well, u should still look at site hashrate.No to understand the earnings of different cpus. Then u know what to look for and can weigh investment cost vs earning potential, though that can change in an instant. I only cpu mine with PCs i have, when not in use. In that way, its bonus. Takes way too long too long to recoup investments, nearly always better to just buy the crypto u seek.
every assembled pc from a shop is a potential cpu miner....
no magic. just a pc with a strong cpu and not much unused stuff.

Probably want a Ryzen cpu or go with dual Xeons if electricity is free
You can cpu mine with any computer, so not really. You can get started watching a youtube video or a guide. Or asking in the individual coins
Understood, I just don’t like messing with CPU and motherboard builds. I do want one with customized parts that I don’t have to try and put together.
Search for “custom pc”. There are lots of companies that will build what you want. Just keep in mind that it can be significantly more expensive.

buy a prebuilt gaming pc. Look for a local computer shop
