Free electricity helps, but you'll still need to invest some serious $$. Go to http://mining.thegenesisblock.com/ to calculate your return with various hardware - with a $0 electric cost, with the assumptions made, you'll never turn a profit. (Keeping in mind that most of the hardware there isn't shipping today, and some of the companies have very shoddy reputations for getting products shipped out, your return will go down, as the difficulty rate will likely have increased by the time you start mining)
