What's the cost for power? Serious question, and I'm not suggesting that this cost should account for a large percentage of the price, but genuinely curious. If your GPUs are working every hour of the month for you, how much is it costing you in electricity?


Quad GPU machines draw about 1.3KW each on average when under load. That's about $100/mo where I live, assuming they're 100% loaded 24x7 for the entire month. Realistically it's less. So it's not free, but it's not a crazy amount either.
