Title: New cooling setup for Antminer S1's.

Acrylic case made from parts at Home Depot for about $30, powered by the existing inline duct fan from Amazon for $70.  It's connected to the dryer vent in my apartment and heat in the room is very low.  I bought one acrylic sheet for $25(cut into 4 pieces), 8 corner braces $3, and sixteen 1/2" nuts and bolts for $4.  I'm ready for this summer now.

I like it!

is the duct capable of the massive airflow for 6 antminers? (probably around 600-700CFM). seems like a small vent for such airflow to maintain the cooling

Damn that is nice.. I was thinking about something similar. I have a window AC unit right above mine. I was thinking about venting into it with duct. Back in the day I used to run duct from my AC floor vents to my OC PC.. lol

What about an exhaust fan on that case at the duct? Surprised you don't already have pull fans.

I have a 4" inline duct fan connected to the dryer vent that blows out of my apartment.  here's the link for the fan http://www.amazon.com/VenTech-IF4-Inline-Duct-Fan/dp/B005KMOJPK/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1399952180&sr=8-3&keywords=inline+duct+fan    It's powerful enough to pass on the warm air blown from all 6 of my antminers.
