s7 is the cheap option and s9 is the efficient option (expensive and overpriced,but the most energy efficient at the moment)
with 0.03 kWh you should be fine with any of the above
seeing the bitcoin price go up,you could reach ROI in 8-10 months if you buy now
and yes,this topic should be moved to the hardware section

I'd still consider the S7 even with such a low electricity price, but you can generally find good deals and work them out in the Computer Hardware section within Goods- always make sure you use escrow when dealing with any user involving money.

S5 can be made quieter by replacing fan, if needed. It's not as quiet as the S3, though, but it's good enough if you want a miner that won't be too loud for daily usage.

$.03/KWh is a very good price. Do you have a reliable Internet connection, and a way to keep things cool? Also does it matter if you have a device that is loud and you can run it 24 hours per day?

You might well be able to make a small profit if all of the above are true, and can afford the initial investment.

You need your price per KWh if you know it.

This should be in the hardware section really Wink

But to answer your question thoroughly you need to tell us your electricity cost.
