I only run a small rig with 4 GPUs. It makes me ~$15/day and electricity is about $1.70. (So, a $13.30 profit) It's a hobby that I started during covid and was a learning experience but the rig is all paid and now it is all profit. Also, it heats my downstairs in the winter and I put it in the basement in the summer. Pick your GPUs wisely and be patient. I only pay MSRP, not what the scalpers want on ebay and amazon.
