There is next to no chance you'll lose money if you keep this machine, mine on it for say, six months, and then resell it then - that's the worst case scenario. The best case scenario, like Kettch says, is that it pays for itself and you just have yourself a sweet extra world class gaming rig. At current rates that's exactly what would happen - this machine can do 60-62 MH/s, which right now is pulling in about $260/mo in gross ETH, and about $245 after electricity costs (going off an average - your own electricity costs may make the net anywhere between ~$230-250, but not less than that for sure anywhere in America).*
The coolest thing you could do with this machine for sure imo, since it seems like your daughter is into computers and tech savvy, is show your daughter how to mine ETH.
I've shown a ton of people how to start mining now so while there are a ton of ways you can do it, I've found the following to be the easiest for most people to pick up on Windows. Takes literally 5-10 minutes, guaranteed. Just a few steps:
1. download t-rex miner on windows. Go here https://github.com/trexminer/T-Rex/releases and pick the t-rex-0.19.10-win-cuda11.1.zip download for a RTX 3000 series card, and
t-rex-0.19.10-win-cuda10.0.zip for a RTX 2000 series card.
2. install metamask, which is an ethereum wallet chrome extension. not necessarily the most secure way to do this, but the easiest by far. Make sure you keep the 12 word recovery seed phrase they give you secure but don't also lose it - anyone who has access to those 12 words can take all your money, but if you lose those 12 words, you also lose all your money. https://chrome.google.c
3. unzip the t-rex miner above, open the ETH-ethermine file in a text editor, and change it from
4. double click that ETH-ethermine file to run the t-rex miner, then you're done - you literally just made at least $1000 in 5-10 minutes of work.
Optional bonus step 5. Once you're comfortable with steps 1-4 and rolling in your mining $$$, you can increase your hashrate and make even more money by using MSI Afterburner to overclock your memory and power limit the GPU so it doesn't use as much electricity: https://www.msi.com/Landing/afterburner
Start with the values recommended here and you should be good: https://www.nicehash.co
Enjoy! The coolest thing in the world, I really think, is showing kids how to do things like this - really wish I got into this stuff more when I was younger. Little cooler than seeing your computer literally make money for you.
Blows my mind that I can buy a world class gaming/ML rig (...actually I have 8 3070s now, 2 3080s, 2 3090s, and 1 3070 laptop now lmao), and it will literally both pay for itself and heat my home and save money on heating bills because now I literally use all my computers as space heaters that make money, instead of costing money. Totally mindblowing to me. Hope your daughter likes it!!
*Fair warning - it won't stay at $260/mo in gross revenue forever. ETH mining will end period in 1.5-2 years as the network transitions to proof of stake, and as more miners start mining each miner will earn less, and also there's a proposal to reduce fees coming out later this year (around summertime most likely) that will reduce mining revenue substantially when it goes through.
So don't try what I'm doing at home (buying a crapton of machines to mine for the hell of it) without being fully aware of what you're getting into and doing your own research - but also for just one extra machine like you have, definitely go for it - you'll for sure make enough money before mining revenue drops too much to make this worthwhile, and you can for sure sell this machine for at least $1000 in 6 months from now imo given that the fair frontpage price just a few days ago was literally $1500 for this thing, so really hard to lose.
Your best bet for multiple units is to do it with an agent for a little extra $$ like people have been doing it or have someone else with you tomorrow and place separate orders. Probably going to be sold out really quick though.

Extreme demand will far outstrip supply and your orders will be back ordered for many months and potentially canceled.
Everyone here will be upset and angry at miners, rinse and repeat.
Literal money printer. Been mining with my 3080 and its been getting me $12+ a day alone and my 1660 Ti laptop, around $4 a day,

I only mine on my gaming rig and my gaming laptop.

What he shared does say "high performance CPU liquid cooling", but I did not pay for anything extra.
Right at the end he said "just to confirm, this is it" and on THAT one it said "smart cooling" instead. I told him something had changed, he said it had not. I asked him to please paste into chat the tech specs one more time of the actual computer they will ship and once again it said liquid cooling. I guess I'll see what I get when it gets here... /shrug
Worst case, back it goes
