R u in USA ? How much elect prices you get ?
I got this :

Yup, in the Northeast, I pay $0.148 per KwH, but my colo is at $0.10KwH and I have free power available also at a few places if it's not annoyingly loud.

Sad part is, 50% of the price of electricity is all BS fees and taxes. UGH

Free elec, thats looks nice. Did you try to underclock too so less heat and less loud ? I "use" friends in dorm to put some of my S5s (since its elect-free), and I give them half of elect prices, so I give them $20 for every S5 put in there. With this they wont complain of the noises Cheesy

I can't imagine them doing this.   I did not mine in dorms or student housing.  Just was not worth it to me.   You have limited electricity so can't put in enough to make a lot and then you have a noise when your doing homework or have people over.  Just not worth it.

I was always lucky though and had another to mine though.

Because in my country a $20 worth 20 times meals with rice chicken and ice tea. And for 5x S5s basically means a person can eat for a month, 3 times a day. For students in colleges who still supported by their family, they really love antminer. Thats how bitcoin changing "our" world Grin
