   NA> I think I'm curious about the Hydroelectrical cost to do this?   
      
   Running my (3) extra GPUs uses around 500 watts or so.  Prior to Bidenflation,   
   you could get eletricity for around 4 cents per kwh.  So basically it would   
   cost 2 cents per hour to mine using these (3) GPUs.  The best price I can get   
   on electricity at the moment is 9.2 cents kwh (so more than double just 3   
   years ago).  Still costs around 4-5 cents per hour at today's rates.   
      
   NA> With the NAS I'm able to part ways with many Dvd's of aquired crap that   
   NA> is now visual, instant, etc, can watch with any Smart TV etc..... I can   
   NA> move out and just take two rack servers with me instead of physical   
   NA> media.   
   NA> My music collection is a different story. I'm afraid 27 boxes of vinyl   
   NA> records will be my anchor as I have too much sentimental / personal   
   NA> investment in all   
   NA> of that. Touchy-feely need to hold a classic album in my hands.   
      
   Yes, I did the same thing years ago.  I threw away all my CDs and vinyl   
   (unless it was autographed).  I kept just a few that I had signed and that was   
   it.  I still remember seeing the trash pickup people pulling many of them out   
   of my trash can and keeping them.  I was never going to play a CD again, so I   
   figured why keep them.     
      
   I do the same thing with Nvidia Shields connected to all the TVs for streaming   
   and running Kodi.  They are just UNC paths for music, movies, TV shows, etc.
