How to you figure?

If I were to buy such as system it would be over €2000, that's not including cooling or a case for it either. Granted I live in Sweden so taxes are a bit on the high side.

Regardless, that will be at least 20 months before they make a dime (assuming they can rent it 100% of the time). And in that time it will collect rackspace along with electricity, bandwitdh (2 gbits and 50 TB per month) and a dedicated IP.

And after all that time that computer is not that hot anymore, but still draws just as much electricity regardless.
