I mined Ethereum last summer on a 6 GPU, dual-PSU rig. Each GPU consumed roughly 220W-250W IIRC, so the heat and noise was considerable.

The heat from that would be horrendous. A typical space heater consumes about the same as that.

Even at just 500W my machine would heat the room considerably over a few hours.

That's one panel worth of power, theoretically.
