	A typical [[mining rig]] with a single ATI HD 5970 with the minimum components (PSU, mobo, HD, graphics card) will consume about 380W. At the difficulty level on April 9, 2011 (82347) using a modern miner that hash about 600MHash/S with that hardware, the cost of electricity to generate a block is $6.84 USD, using the typical U.S. residential rate (about $0.11/kWh).

	Given that a block is 50 BTC and the BTC/USD market rate on that date was about $0.75 USD, then over 18% of the proceeds from mining went to pay the cost of electricity required to mine that block.
