Besides investment costs and electricity costs to calculate ROI, are there other costs?
Does the antminer S9 have substantial cooling costs?
The S9 antimer costs around 1089 USD, power supply at 105 USD.
I use cryptocompare calculator (link below) and it seems even at USD 0.12 cents, that gives 169 USD per month profit.

If minus pool fees, will get money back around say 10 months? Did i miss anything else.
My electricity costs would be around 0.09-0.12 usd cents, and i have to pay rent on a small place away from my home. Feasible, u guys think?
Comments appreciated.
I think one important point you are missing is that in power consumption for instance you will put 1125 watts for the 11.5 Th/s S9 machine but you should also take into account the watts you will consume to cool the environment you put the machines in.
So roughly I think (not sure though) 50% extra watts should be added to total power consumption and than calculate the stuff.
Hope this helps.
Are u sure it can cost 50% more to cool it down. I have not seen such posts anywhere.
The fan on antminer should be sufficient yes?

and how are you cooling your gear? A/C or fans?
The room temp has a lot of meaning. ie an s-9 in the tropics needs more effort and money to cool then an s-9 in Norway.
Also everyone has left out that the gear breaks often.
1 in 10 chance of a break down
1 in 10 chance is not so bad i guess. My area is around 28 degrees room temperature.
