cost of power is currently consuming 13% of the income. The cost of hardware is the biggest expense and takes about a month or 2 to pay off.
but if you have lots of hardware laying around like me PUT IT TO USE!
to keep the room cool I have a package Air Conditioning unit on the roo. it used to stay cool when CPU's were doing work loads but these damn GPU's are crazy!!!! To the left I have to keep the door Open

Are you mining both with your CPU and GPU? If so, which miner are you using?
I am running the Pheonix miner on both ATi and NVIDIA GPU's. The ATi 5870+ and 6970+ series cards are about 4x faster than an NVIDIA GTX 580...

At the moment I am not using the CPU as a CPU is about 100 times slower than an ATi GPU.

Wow, not to bad, is the cooling consumption buil;t into the 13% figure

I have a ton of shit laying around, including some 4 and 5 series ATI cards ...

Rolling with the 580's these days for gaming ....

Random Thought ???? Why does Hawaii have interstate highways?

I have not considered the cooling from the package unit, this time of year it is normally running 24/7 till winter.

If you have spare cards laying around buid up a couple 4 GPU systems and see what u can bring in in a week. Otherwise I could take those 5 series cards off your hands

Think I will take some time this weekend and read up.

Would be nice to make few bucks here and there on some hardware just collecting dust ....
