recommendation for specs?
Intel G2020
Sapphire HD 7950 Vapor-X, 7950 is best value for farming?
4gb ram n 500gb HDD
mobo? power? case(as small as possible)?

Get a H61 chipset ITX. I think there are quite a few brands out there for you to try .

In terms of case, go for the cheapest with the most fans. Top choice on my mind is Cooler Master Elite 120. Able to hold long cards and comes with decent fans.

PSU wise it'll be best to get a high efficiency but no higher than 500 watts. Anything higher will be a waste. IIRC Silverstone has some 400w ATX PSU at low price. I believe that is good enough.

go for at least 7970. You'll get extra 150-200mHash than with 7950

what are the advantages and disadvantages of running 2 cards in the same set-up?
