Sure, but electricity cost is not a lot for me. i was already running a home server, so it’s mostly just the gpu. The gpu i’m currently running is max 75w which works out to about $0.25/day if it’s operating 100% of the time - the gpu I’m planning to upgrade to runs at 180w or about $0.6/day.

Not everyone has as cheap power as I do, so you’re right it’s worth factoring in - but in my case it’s a very small factor
