No gamer will buy rig for 30$, unless it is an awesome deal.

I was exaggerating when I said $30.  The CPU is worth about $75 used.  The RAM might fetch about $50.

Anyways the point is all that extra "useless" hardware can't really result in any coin production.  You could have a 5x5TB RAID array and a 30" 4k display and it still won't make any more coin than the base video card.

If the goal is to acquire crypto, downgrade the CPU and the RAM (sell them locally) and buy Bitcoin with it.

I'm hoping that solar power becomes more affordable. Then power wouldn't be an issue.

Buy from a wholesaler for about US$0.50 per watt then self-install  Smiley

The problem is the output. Aircons eat electricity so how would you maintain constant power while keeping your hardware cool?

It wouldn't be the best choice to cool them down with aircons. They eat alot of power also if your power is cut off, water vapour is bound to condense on your hardware, damaging them. Fan cooling is the best IMO, you don't need to worry too much as they usually eat lesser power.

Even with free electricity , ROI on GPU is very difficult these days.
