Hey I've been a lurker on these boards for a while.  I'd like to upgrade from lurker to participant if possible.   Grin

Here is my mining rig currently 47 ASICminer USB sticks along with a 7970 and two 7850's producing about 17 Gh/s.  I started with buying from Newegg/Ebay and graduated to buying through group buy's.

Looks cool Smiley

What's the price on a setup like yours and how much do you make mining? Smiley

That's a pretty sizable rig. It's safe to say I am mad jelly.

How are you finding the BE's coping with being so close together? Also, have you ever had your hash rate gradually decrease over a couple of days (and then have to restart your mining software)? This seems to happen to me about once a week.

I hope your window is North facing...

Looks cool, I noticed there is space for one more. Why you run the GPUs though?

Your rig is excellent. It's my dream to be owner of this type of rig.

I have the GPU's mining BTC because I am trying to squeeze out as much BTC as I can.   Smiley  I probably should have them mining lightcoin and convert the LTC to BTC though.  Just haven't researched LTC enough to make the jump yet.

My window is south facing.... yea not ideal.  Having the miners so close together doesn't seem like a problem, they don't get that hot.  I run bfgminer and haven't run into the issue you describe.  They seem to mine at a fairly constant rate.
