The Innosilicon D9 with 2.5 times higher hash rate and 2.5 times higher power consumption than the Obelisk DCR1 wins over DCR1 since they are both similarly priced but none of them are profitable now when 1 DCR = $40.

A more interesting miner is the Antminer DR3 which consumes 3 times the power of a DCR1 but delivers a 7 times higher hash rate. It is cheap , around $700 which is half price of the two mentioned above.

If you are really minted then you can buy the Whatsminer DCS for $4800 and get a hash rate 40 times higher than DCR1.

I didn't colo my DCR1, it is running here in home but I will probably stop it when it has mined for a month (ie when I have mined 1 DCR), I could use the money I pay for electricity and buy one DCR each month instead.
Won't help much that I soon will be able to add a 3rd hash board in the box, the added electricity cost will eat up the additional income.
What is needed for DCR1 to become profitable is a higher coin price..
