you can gpu mine. which means alt coins which means this would need to be alt coin mining .
a pair of rtx 3060 cost about $800 at best buy.

so for under $1000 the unit would have a 3 year warranty
it earns 2 a day and with net metering it burns about 7-8 kwatts a day.

cards may drop in price. you may be able to build the rig under $750
