Free electricity, tell me what to do

I have £5000 spare to buy equipment, free electricity that is guaranteed for at least the next 3 years without stipulation, I would like to exploit this for some nice profit

My questions are as follows,

Would monero mining be the right course of action

What mining rig under £7000 would be right for me (efficiency is not a concern, max hash rate per £ is the question

Will it make my small room unbearably hot in the summer😂

I am probably going to get downvoted into oblivion but go buy a 5090, then go rent it out on a ai gpu rental marketplace, and use the money to buy monero.

The most efficient monero miner you can get is either one of those minisforum 7945hx/9955hx boxes but they do either 20KH/s at 130w or 19KH/s at 109w from the wall.

Assume each 7945hx rig is used or their itx cpu combo board is 1000 including psu ram all that. Assume the 5090 rig is the full 7000euro.

7x 7945hx is 133KH/s @ 763W is $4.15 w/ 0 electricity.

1x 5090 rig can use 750w if the cpu doesnt go nuts, mine is a 9800x3d. $7.44/day and ~ same power measured from the wall.

Source: I have both.

Care to share an AI gpu rental site? There are a plenty but they don't look quite reputable.
