I know it's too late, but you spent way too much on a pump.  Iwaki is premium shit in the aquarium world.  There is a clone available for each Iwaki model made by Pan World.  Pan World was started by a former chief engineer from Iwaki.  They just make the same pumps essentially, at way better prices.  Also, I really doubt you had to go to a full external style pump.  Probably could have gotten away with a beefy submersed pump and put it in a sump, for like half the money.  The goal in the end is ROI, right?

A proper ball bearing fan should last a really long time.  It's the cheapo sleeve bearing fans placed on GPU's that fail when pushed hard.  They were designed for someone playing a video game a couple hours a day, and even then the PWM shouldn't go above something like 60% based on the load a game places on a modern GPU and ambient room temps in an average house.  I should point out that *most* fans you buy, for computers and all other applications (think about fans that run on 110V AC power) are running at 100% all the time.  I don't buy a big fan and go "Hmm, what should I set the speed to in order to make the fan last longer".  What should be focused on is the quality of the bearing instead of what percentage the PWM is at.

I'm glad you don't design data centers for a living.  You would kill a lot of hardware with your lack of knowledge.

GPUs don't scale linearly unless you live somewhere where it is cold year round for free cooling, and you have a lot of space.

Sure they do - Just vent them outside.  One 20" box window fan will move the heat of a LOT of GPUs outside (unless you live somewhere with an outside temperature already over 110F).

DAMN but I wish I lived somewhere other than one of the highest $-per-KW states right about now.
Where does the incoming air come from? From your air conditioner, right? Or, if no A/C, then it comes from the outside - which could easily be 90-110 degrees Fahrenheit. QED.
I was about to post the same thing, lol.  I don't care how much air you can exhaust out your window from your mining room, it comes *IN* from somewhere.  And in most locations the ambient air temp outside is going to get hot enough to kill the whole idea of just using a fan.

I'm not really buying BTC so much as I am way long on Bitcoinica using USD.  Didn't see that as a poll option  Wink

Just signed engineering plans for a 33 panel array, about 8kW setup.  I believe that's only about half of what our house averages, lol.  Parents are pissed about my mining operation like you would not believe.  If they could measure the breaker for just my room I would be getting charged for sure.  I tell them that even if they could figure out how much I owe them for electricity on top of rent that I would *STILL* be making money from the BTC I mine  Grin

Who knows?  I've seen 10,000 BTC walls flash in and out of the depth chart within seconds.  It usually doesn't mean anything.  Bots will be bottin'

it is a fairly well known one on here but running in beta right now (hence the server problems). I am being vague due to the inflammatory nature of > 100% pps on this forum in the past and don't want to derail this thread.

Does it start with G Cheesy ?

I think some people are having loads of issues with cgminer and that pool you are talking about so I think this is pretty on topic.

Maybe there is some networking / share submitting bug in cgminer that is not in phoenix that only affects pool G ?
I mine on pool "G" with the aforementioned ~140% pps  Grin  Yes, it is in beta.  Yes my cgminer will fall back to my BTC Guild often.  However, it tends to fall back gracefully.  Not sure which problems others are having?  The developer of pool "G" is making changes to his servers all the time.  He announces them in the thread with pretty clear warnings that the service will be up and down....BECAUSE IT IS BETA!!!111one

I don't think you have missed anything.  I try to log in every day and withdraw.  Either I get a server error after the login page, or my withdraw request never gets processed.

It's connection with btccharts.com socket server. For now it just count online users. After this weekend this should also rebroadcast data from mtgox socket. And later will be used for things like chat.
Is the rebroadcast idea to lessen the load (number of connections) on Gox?  If so, that might be a great idea.  You could advertise and push people to use your rebroadcast of socket.io and since you don't have to focus on other things like Gox does you could tune performance and keep it stable.
394  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Mark Karpeles, please liberate my money on: February 21, 2012, 10:15:54 PM
I just went through this crap a few weeks ago.  I feel sorry for this guy and anyone else who has to go through this.  As mentioned earlier in the thread there was no exit method offered, so our money is essentially stolen by Gox during this process.  Somewhere else on these forums a member who has experience with stock, futures, forex brokers, etc. explained very well how they must provide an exit method prior to requiring ID, proof of residency.

What is the third data method listed in the upper right called BCsocket?

Dubstep is slowly taking over my Pandora.  My coworkers are addicted, my family is addicted, and I see it in commercials now!  I hope it takes over popular culture and replaces Rap et al.  I even powered up the BASS CANON for my neighbors last night.  My custom made subwoofer convinced my neighbor that dubstep is badass  Grin
