GPUs don't scale linearly unless you live somewhere where it is cold year round for free cooling, and you have a lot of space.

Sure they do - Just vent them outside. One 20" box window fan will move the heat of a LOT of GPUs outside (unless you live somewhere with an outside temperature already over 110F).

DAMN but I wish I lived somewhere other than one of the highest $-per-KW states right about now.

Where does the incoming air come from? From your air conditioner, right? Or, if no A/C, then it comes from the outside - which could easily be 90-110 degrees Fahrenheit. QED.

I would also like to know what you pay for power.

I'd also be interested to know what your rigs contain and how much you pay for power. I'm waiting for my first bill to come in as well.

$300 a month. Wheee. I'll keep my day job, thanks Cool

Clearly your day job is not in finance... else you'd see that OP is making a 100% operating profit and it's just a matter of scale before quitting a day job would be a reality.

True.

One rig = 100% profit.

Ten and you need to pay for cooling, and maybe space as well. You will see failures. Sure, there are some people who have a place to put in 10 GPU's and not pay for cooling.... but most can not.

$300 extra on my power bill and $600 worth of bitcoins mined. Time to quit my day job.

What do you pay for power? What is your card/rig setup?
