Hi, I am thinking of buying a second hand Avalon 741 on a local site, Is the setup of the miner easy? Or is it a complicated process to get the miner running? Sorry if its a stupid question, I just want to make sure that i'll actually get it going.
Thanks

If you are buying it second hand it might not come with a controller to run it. You will want a raspberry pi 3 flashed with the Avalon OS image if it does not come with one. Other than making sure you have that the setup is quite easy.

Stop buying industrial miners, running them at home, and then complaining about the noise.

Along that ^^ line, does it come with the AUC adapter and cable to go between the RasPi and miner?
Info on creating the RasPi Avalon OS image is here.
