Test rentals — how small is too small?

Interesting point above. heat reuse in an allotment shed is what makes the maths work for me in winter. Convince me otherwise.

Late to this one but I treat mining income as a slow DCA and the mood swings stopped.

Good thread this. the real cost is never the rig, it's the 183W nobody budgets for. Numbers welcome.

Not sure I buy that. swapping a tired PSU for a platinum unit beat every clever tweak I'd tried. Anyone tried the opposite?
