Spent $3.00 on btc when it hit like $320/btc. Cashing it out when we hit $450-600/btc+ turn 3.00 into 10 is my plan.
I'm looking forward to doing some trading soon myself. However, I'm more focused on spending every BTC I mine on S4's at the moment. I might start trading some after my first S4 [Coming Soon] but we'll see. |

I like the setup compact but seems to work great.
Probably a year or so from now if iv got a warehouse owned or a small 50x50x20 room i will be setting it all up wit miners. My goalis to be a smal btc farm that has obe of the highest amounts of hashing power.
Working on college for IT which is my start to owning my owb small business. My goal is to reach is extravagent but the thigs iv seen and heard. I believe i can make 50x50x20 structure with 15-20+ th/s
Hardest part is finding the funds to make this all happen while faceing the debts of schooling
I find it INCREDIBLY fascinating seeing others mining setups. Its quite interesting.
I understand how student loan debt goes. My wife is an accountant. She had a lot of student loan debt at one time. It's paid off now. I go my education from the United States Marine Corp. However, the economy has slowed down my business of training telephone technicians as of late. They've cut budgets a lot over the last few years. When they do, "training" is one of the first things they cut. So, I had to come up with something to make up for lost income. Mining was the ticket... I HOPE!!! Yes, I too like to look at other set ups in the forums on here and on youtube. I'm determined to get between 23 and 30 TH/s going eventually in this closet with temperatures on all rigs no higher than 43 or 44 degrees Celsius with the door closed. I REALLY BELIEVE that 14 inch exhaust fan with 16 inch filtered return grill will get me there concerning the temperatures. I may end up selling the S3's on eBay some day and replacing them with S4's as well in the future. Thanks for the comments. I did make a mistake buying the 8 inch exhaust fan. Hopefully, others can learn from my mistake if they too decide to do their set up inside a small 3.5 feet x 5.5 feet closet similar in size to mine. That was ny concern to. I needed a source of income while in school when i dont have an income atm. As u said Bitcoin was the answer. Its been slow. But its helping. Thinking of ordering 2 s3s from bitmain and possibly sell some of my s1s. Or create a better setup for my outside on the balcony setup( id shiw picsbut its bot near me) The downfall. That setup in the summer. That hit 55- 60c theres s1s with 2 200rpn coolermaster fans in each(which i think rises the heat) But once winters comes, wont have to worry about them getting hot. I think the heat will just nelt the snow. Im at 1.4th/s atm. THank god i have yet to worry about hydo cost D Spent $3.00 on btc when it hit like $320/btc. Cashing it out when we hit $450-600/btc+ turn 3.00 into 10 is my plan. WOW... 55 to 60 Celsius was getting pretty hot. I would try to replace those S1's with S3's as soon as possible. They both use the same watts but the S3's are more than twice the hashing power. Of course, you know that. My power costs are really outstanding compared to most other States: Summer (June-Sept) Winter (Oct-May)Base Charge $14.50 Base Charge $14.50First 1000 kWH $0.077823 First 750 kWH $0.077823Over 1000 kWH $0.080352 Over 750 kWH $0.065823 |

The temperature on all the rigs are 2 degrees celsius warmer with the door closed than with it open now that the vent is installed. It was approximately 5 degrees celsius warmer with the door closed without a vent installed. Temps on some with door open are rig on left side top 42/40; rig on top center 45/38; rig on top right 43/40; rig on bottom shelf 41/40 Temps on the same rigs with door closed are 2 degrees celsius warmer than what you see here. Reminder, 2 box fans up high and 1 circular fan down low are going inside the closet. I'm CERTAIN when the 14 inch exhaust fan is installed and connected to a 16" x 16" square box with 16" x 16" filtered return air grill that the temps should at least be the same as what they are right now with the door open and with box fans. The return air grill will be more than twice the size of what is in there right now. The CFM will also jump from 720 CFM to 1700 CFM [More than twice as much suction].  |

I installed a LARGE vent that can be filtered in the lower half of the door. However, I did not get a filter yet.  I still have those 3 box fans zip tied and pointed on the rigs like y'all have seen in a previous post. I don't think I'm going to take them down until that 14 inch gets here from Amazon and installed. When I'm inside the closet with the door closed, I can feel cool air being sucked up through the vent in the door. The vents are angled up; as you can tell. So, the air blows "up" straight to the rigs. That 8 inch would probably be fine for now with only those 16 S3's inside the closet. However, I KNOW I will need that 14 inch when I start adding more rigs. |

He still has the vent in the bottom. If the a/c cannot supply enough air any extra can be pulled through the vent. Admittedly the vent might not be large enough.
You are correct. Also, a LOT of heat is in the garage. I taped up the vent on the garage side to keep from sucking the heat into the closet. When standing in the closet, it is warm up high from my chest... up to the ceiling. If I kneel down, it feels comfortable. The box fans are pulling up the cool heat onto the rigs to cool them down from approximately [41 to 47 rig to rig depending on location] to [37 to 43 depending on location]. The 37 to 43 is with the door open as well. I'm heading to Lowe's now to look for a large vent to install in the closet door. The goal is to get rid of the box fans to use less watts and have room to move around in their. Be back after a while. |

I think I'm gonna go for the BIG GUN and get the 14 inch Can Max Fan 1823 CFM (Really 1700 CFM). However, it is quieter than all 10 inch fans yet has the same CFM if not more that most 12 inch fans have. It also uses less amps than most 12 inch. Since it has larger blades, it does not require as many RPM's to move the same amount of air as a 12 inch. This in turn makes it quieter and more energy efficient [ranges from 213 to 230 watts. So again, quieter than most 10 inch fans with same CFM or more than most 12 inch fans. You have to watch this dude getting blown around with this thing on youtube and also SEE THE SIZE OF THIS THING next to him. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DxbWXo4dF4I will sell the 8 inch hyper fan on eBay. Someone is going to get a good deal on it. Usually hydroponic growers buy these things.  |

Was that the best place for the air condition? If you fill that shelf with more devices you dont think it will choke the a/c?
Certainly do... That's why another one will be going behind the next shelf up when I add more equipment. You think that is the best place or that the miners so close to the intake will choke the a/c? Not sure if it will or not. I suppose we will find out. If this is a mistake. Someone can learn from my mistake. I wish I had bought a 10 inch instead of an 8 inch exhaust fan. That is one mistake I have made already. I added my box fans to the closet with zip ties to other shelves in the closet. It has brought the temp down even more on the rigs. When the AC blows out down low straight out to the door, the fans then suck the air up and onto the rigs. Temps rang from 37 to 42 now with the closet door open. I'm also allowing AC to be sucked in from the recreation room. I've got to do something up high to suck out the heat better. I wish I had got the 10 inch exhaust. |

All miners are between 41 and 45 on temperature now with the door closed. Not bad, considering...  |

Well, I've been busy today...    I got a good deal on this 8000 BTU air conditioner. I even got me a 3 year repair/replacement guarantee from HH Gregg. This was a display model. It is getting close to winter and all they had were 2 air conditioners left. |

@ dmwardjr
What about a hole(or two) in the closet door (18x24) and set it up with an a/c filter assembly like an a/c air handler closet.
I've considered that. However, after standing in the closet with the door closed, I could tell it needs some cold air coming into it. Having more ventilation just want cut it. I'm about to head to Lowe's to get an AC unit for the mining/data closet. Sorry if I don't respond for a while. |

Many places have rules about firebreaks between houses and attached garages. Have you investigated whether cutting all those holes contravenes any local building regulations?
It contravenes none. If you are concerned about carbon monoxide from the garage, it can come up under the door from the garage and up through the floors into the house. They don't believe too many people plan on cranking a car in the garage and leaving it on. No fire codes either to be concerned with here. Also, this is a single family dwelling. Not connected to any other homes. |

Or open a window in the super heated garage.
You got a point there. I'll open one now. |

I meant the area where the exhaust fan is blowing into.
My wife woke up from it being hot in the bedroom. The thermostat says it's 75 in the house. I just put the air on 74. I can tell already I will need to get that "T" joint and vent this heat from the garage out to the back of the house until it gets cooler at night. It's only 60 degrees fahrenheit. Not really cool tonight like it has been. It was in the 40's for about 7 days. The high and low for Sunday will be 83/57; Monday 85/60; Tuesday 80/61; Wednesday 72/45; Thursday 72/44; Friday 70/42; Saturday 60/35 and next Sunday 64/41. |

the rigs on the far left and up high are 46 to 48
the rigs in the middle up high are 42 to 44
the rigs down low on the next shelf are 41

What is the temperature like in the room the fan is blowing to?
I went back down and opened up one window and put a box fan in it. It is 60 degrees Fahrenheit outside. So, it ought to cool things down a little more down there. It was 74 degrees in the recreation room. So, I thought I might ought to open a window and put a fan in it. |

What is the temperature like in the room the fan is blowing to?
Are you talking about the exhaust fan blowing from the closet into the garage? OR Are you taking about the box fan at the opening of the closet door blowing air from the recreation room into the closet? I did have box fans in two windows in the recreation room blowing air from outside into the recreation room along with two other fans blowing on the miners. Now, it's just the one box fan blowing on the miners with the windows closed and the exhaust fan sucking air into the garage. |

I will be doing away with that 14" x 6" vent and cutting a larger opening to allow for the air conditioner. I will have to make some modifications with wood to make a frame for the air conditioner to mount properly. I will need to get some 1/2 inch pvc to run approximately 12 feet over to my share my condensation pump for my House HVAC unit to pump the condensation outside. This ought to work sweeeeeeeeeeet. I HOPE...  |

The temperature on my S3's was getting ranging from 48 to 53 with the door closed. When I opened the door and put a big box fan at the entrance to blow on them, the temp ranges from 41 to 45.
I had them at 35 to 39 in that big open recreation room with 4 box fans going.
I bet that air conditioner will do the trick for that closet. It's only 35 pounds as well.
Cools up to a 150 sq ft room
Effortless clean antibacterial filter reduces bacteria, room odors, and other airborne particles for a cool and comfortable environment
Features 2 different fan speeds, for more cooling flexibility
Effortless restart automatically resumes operating at its previous settings when the power is restored to your unit
Comes with an extra long three-prong cord
Optional side panels extend so you can adjust the unit to fit your window [I won't be needing those]
Mechanical controls [Did not need a fancy remote - keeps costs down]
