Doesn't take into account future price rise of BTC. If they are worth $500 in a years time then is your hardware still profitable? By the way $0.087 /kWh is low, it's $0.28+ where I live...

If they are worth $500 why bother investing in GPUs and not buy BTCs?

Not all of us area able to put mass amount of instant cash into hopes and dreams. A small amount of electricity cost is a lot easier to cope with. haha

But if you put the same $ for electricity into buying BTC, you are supporting the BTC economy instead of the local utility.  It is more likely the price will rise under that scenario.  If you make a profit, that is another story, but at break even you really should not be doing it that way.
