Spot Cooling? Antminer Farm

[argovian]

I've got several Antminers, with more on the way and the cooling I have for the 4 units i'm worried will not be enough.

The room they are in now gets a little uncomfortable and with the added units i'm afraid will be unbearable. After reading the "make your own server PSU" thread I felt silly about buying some PC PSUs and wanted to do more research before I dived into something.

I'm considering some spot cooling options for the office, (something like these)

Does anyone have any experience or suggestions on these? I'm in the Austin,TX area and i'm sure it'll start pushing over 100deg soon so I figure I should do something.
The units have been running fine thus far (4 S1s). But with 4 S1s and 2 S3's otw, i'd like to make sure it stays that way!

Thanks for your suggestions.

That should be more than enough, a normal AC should do the job too.

I think normal AC is more than enough. Why don't you just use simple room fan for each of miners?

I'm noticing on the units, they have temps from 47-54. I cranked the box fan to full speed to help, but with 6 more units otw, I'm worried this is gonna get a little too hot.

Is it ok to use something like this? With the Water frozen in the gallon jug?

My setup as it stands now. I need to clean up the wires, but waiting for the other units to show up.

One fairly burly AC coupled with massive amounts of airflow (i.e. lot's of big fan's blowing all the time) and decent ventilation you should be able to setup a relatively decent sized farm (<= 20 units).  Then you can substitute your "heat worries" for "noise concerns" :p

A lot depends on amount of miners you have and which miners.  Also you might look into exhaust.  Moving air in and out in bigger operations is good.  I HIGHLY suggest not using that five gallon cooler.   Water around miners sounds like a horrible idea if something goes wrong.

Do you have 2 windows in the room? If you do, you can put 1 window fan in a window to bring in outside air and put a window fan in the other window to pull the hot air outside. I would also recommend adding 120mm fans to the end of your Ant's in a push-pull configuration and have the pull fans directing the heat towards your window fan that is exhausting the air.

Wouldn't the Evap Cooler have the same problem?
