Profits look to be extremely low right now. Not profitable at all with the current cards. Sucks.

Now it`s normal. 1080ti is a really powerful GPU but if you count with price/profitability - 1060(3) much better then 1080ti. If you have enough free space of course.

I guess it would be a faster ROI because of the price of 1060 TI's but like you said, you'd need a hell of a lot of room to set up 24 1060's and that power draw would be a beast.

It's not only that, you must also calculate expense that rise with additional cables, risers, PSUs, mbo and all stuff you need if you cannot hookup all cards to one rig, and you usually cannot.
ROI cannot be calculated just from GPU perspective because it gives you false results.

Lol. You just calculating one-off costs. As for me - 1 rig 1060 costs 1.7k$. GPU costs 1.4k$. This is 82% of full price. Yet, with 1080ti rigs you have to buy really powerful PSU, that costs much more then little PSU for 1060 rig. Last my PSU were 1.5KWt PSU for server usage. It costs about 400$ and for full 1080ti rig i need 2 such PSU. For 1060 rig PSU costs about 120-150$.

Why LOL?

Like people have already said, you can daisy chain that same PSU that you are using currently if that is your only concern.

There is also one more thing in calculation and that is SPACE where you are mining. How much space someone have is a major deal in what cards to use.
If you have only 2-3 m2 available how much will you be able to get from it if you fill it with cards from top to bottom.

As i said first time - the main trouble is space. All that you said last time - is not a trouble. You buying these parts just one time and GPUs works untill they`d be broken. After you return your money, 1060 becomes more profitable then 1080ti for the same cost. Yet, one more + - if you card/rig brokes - in 1080ti it becomes much more expensive trouble, then 1060.

the map is very good, but damn it is so expensive for mining, the world just went crazy! Cool

You can chain several smaller PSUs if ya really wanted..

It depends. Go check your local craigslist. I have a perfectly working 1200w PSU for sale for just 125 euros.
