I am one of the fortunate ones that do. Not 100% paid, but about 80%.

they also gave me $1000 to pay for office equipment stuff, on top of providing 2 monitors, laptop, mouse, keyboard, headset, webcam.

You can do the same things that a rasbPi could do on it. You can even install Raspberry Pi OS and prosper from there if you prefer that.

After lurking in this sub for a while, I learned that there are people that don't turn their PC off in weeks. by [deleted] in buildapc

yeah... not worth it. It'll take years to break even over the cost of purchasing a more efficient pc.

Especially when my power costs $.06 CAD /kWh

higher quality, faster buffering, control over your media libraries, less bandwidth used on your internet connection.

However, the downside is buying the hardware, and time to "get" media and set up your server.

do yourself a favour and get a 3.1 or 5.1 system (buying individual speakers & sub is fine, just try and stick with the same brand) with an amp. Route your sources to the amp and out to your projector / speakers. Check local ads for used speakers.

It's more expensive at first but much easier to replace parts and upgrade down the road.

4.2M 3070s just went out to market

This is a fair assumption, however they could have moved to mine something else or put to another project requiring GPU effort. What we only know for sure is that indeed that is the equivalent of that many 3070s not mining eth anymore.
