Yes, the biggest cost was the new equipment (ie. motherboard, PSU, CPU, frame, ram, etc). My cost basis should go down when I start adding more GPU’s. Though, I’m thinking I should’ve either bought a second hand rig or not went all out on the 3080 and other expensive stuff. You live and learn.

Based on what I have learned, next build, I’ll be using server PSU’s and various other equipment to cut down on costs. That is, if ETH mining is still around and if alt coin mining is as profitable
