My 12 (17 two weeks later) Antminers, 1 KNC Jupiter, and my slowly crapping out 8 stack of Bitburner Fury's (only one stack shown). Fall/winter 2013 til now have been great. My power bill however was not. NYC electricity is NOT cheap.  |

Two of my six Antminers. I've made custom covers for all of them, which helps force a lot more air over the heat sinks and chips.  |

My brother actually suggested that i should do the same about a week ago. He said it will work out much better to reduce heat that way. So, how is it going? EDIT: Doesn't the hot air coming out from one Ant affect the heat of the other? I mean because you have them facing the opposite direction. |

EDIT: Doesn't the hot air coming out from one Ant affect the heat of the other? I mean because you have them facing the opposite direction. I usually have them facing the same direction, I just turned one around to take the picture. I have a IR temp gun and found that without the cover, the chips closest to the fans get up to about 103^F and the chips furthest away get up to 135^F. With the covers on, the chips all seem to settle around 118-122^F. Without the cover the heatsink end gets up to 120-123^F, but the cover brings the heatsink down to 115-118^F. If people are interested in covers, I am considering making them for sale. I think they would sell for around BTC .018 - .020 depending on exchange. Powder coated .025" aluminum, would include a bottom plate, back cover with cable pass-thru and top cover. |

Summer is just around the corner, and when something can help bring the heat down.... Have you considered starting up a group buy and see how that goes? EDIT: I can start one for you if you want  |

 This is just part of my mining setup...some Bitfury and BFL gear is off-frame to the left. Each Antminer gets its own power supply. Both are modular; the first one (on the right) has a 600W Corsair, while the second one (on the left) has a 550W Seasonic. The Corsair puts both of its PCIe outputs on a single cable, which gets a little warmer than I'd like; the Seasonic uses a cable for each and is a better (if more expensive) choice. They're on a wire rack in the laundry room. Connection is through an 8-port switch connected to the LAN through an 85-Mbps (yeah, right!) powerline-networking adapter. I could possibly clean things up by switching to WiFi: add antennas to the Antminers and a WiFi USB dongle to the Raspberry Pi in the Bitfury rig. Ventilation is pretty decent; you barely feel some warm air coming from the power supplies, but all of the miners keep the room toasty. The Kill-a-Watt (not shown, but it's below the picture) says everything's pulling about 1.08 kW. |

I keep all of mine in 4U rack mount cases so not much to look at from the front. Here is the back of a leased pair:  |

So your psu sucking heat from side of miner? Yes, I had thought of isolating everything and sticking three ANT's per chassis. This setup takes a whole 5 minutes and the miners run at 43-44F so I figured I would leave it alone. If I need more space I can always stack 3 and vent the PSU above the miners. |

Are there any pc cases that would fit 2 antminer s1 in it? I wanted to know because my Local Datacenter requires it in a enclosure. If any body have any good ideas let me know thanks!

The Cabinet is a G2 HP 42U Cabinet. What kind of Rails do you recommend for this case? I totally appreciate it, you are a great person!  |
