I understand that, however this unit does not perform as intended, which is why I contacted bitmain. This unit runs quite well for a few hours then performance decreases to a seemingly arbitrary rate. I've had it perform anywhere from 9 to around 140 Gh/s. The only way for me to fix this is to cycle the power.

I recently received an S1 which is missing a cap from every pair. It looks like they were just never there. I still haven't heard back from bitmain yet. Does anyone know where we can purchase replacements? As close to these as possible is preferred.

Thanks for your input. Right now I'm locked in at a rate of US$0.055/kWh for the next year or so which should help a bit with the electrical costs. If it gets overly hot in my garage I can just turn on an AC but so far it hasn't been necessary.

Sound isn't horribly important. I'm aware of the SP10's loudness but I don't think it will matter. My garage is detached and insulated.

I was going to keep it in my garage.

Greetings all.

I'm still fairly new at mining but I have gotten my feet wet with 10 antminer S1s. I find it enjoyable and take pleasure in the planning and calculating.

I have a fresh infusion of cash and want to spend approx. $5000 USD on some new equipment. I'm just curious as to the what the community thinks would be a good buy at this point in time.

I was looking at the Spondoolies SP10 for one. Not sure if this is the best though.

Any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
