assuming 100% efficient 800w pull
24/7 run time average 4.33 weeks per month
747.44 hours per month running.
take that times 1500w and you get 1,121.160 kw/h
where i am it is ~$0.16 per kw/h
that means running a rig 24/7 will run you $179.39 per month
*take a mental break here i know some of you have short attention spans

as it stands, a founders edition 1080ti will have a 947.18 mHash/s rate
its price is around $800 now ballpark estimate.
double it because you will be using two.

using this link
https://www.cryptocompare.com/mining/calculator/eth?HashingPower=1894.36&HashingUnit=MH%2Fs&PowerConsumption=1500&CostPerkWh=0.16
and using above hash rate x2 at 1500w
you will still profit mining ethereum at $4,472.54 per month

if you factor the cost of this example rig

your first month profit is $994.81

that's a 53.68k job to maintain this pc assuming perfectly stable or average market.

**disclaimer.
the exact wattage used is a ballpark guess and is actually lower due to efficiency and the fact that not all of it is used by the hardware.
also factor replacement of graphics cards and cost for cooling equipment to preserve the 1080ti's
your electric bill rates may vary

conclusion:
minus initial costs, there is literally no good reason you are not at least chasing half that money right fucking now.
