Congrats! Looks quite dapper and clean!
Oh yeah, I wrote a service to change the LED colors based on system temperature so I could easily tell if xmrig crashed or something, but I think the breathing orange just looks better. I then had the idea to have the LEDs dim if CPU temps dropped but it was a lot more complicated that simply changing colors.

This is awesome, surprised that you have this low of a ROI. When I looked for parts a year or two ago I couldn't get lower than 4,5 years and that might have been with free power :P
I live in a US suburb, electricity is thankfully cheaper than most places. As detailed in my first post, I could've cut a lot more corners to cut down on costs.
I think electricity is a major factor though, roughly 1/4 of my earnings go to it. Many places have much pricier electric which will easily add years, if not making roi impossible.
Super cool setup! It's giving me a lot of ideas for one I might build later. Thanks for sharing this!
What's the total power consumption?
Unfortunately I don't have a way of measuring it. The CPUs have a 65w tdp so each system is probably pulling a little more than that. I have gold PSUs.
a clamp meter would help assess the amperage drawn*voltage at the wall plug
Time well spent, looks great!
Thanks!
