Hello. I just picked up one of these: http://coinsfortech.com/shop/coincraft-1ths-28nm-asic-bitcoin-miner-with-power-supplyIt works very well right out of the box at the speed promised and I am already getting coins out of my pool after only 30 minutes. However it is LOUD! It is like having a hair dryer running. It is in my apartment and it is just unacceptable how loud it is. Does anyone have some advice on how I can solver this problem? Some sort of some proof cabinet or perhaps a quieter cooling system? |

no way... fan requirement at that level will always sound massive. I don't know the specs, but I'm sure there are no Noiseblocker or Noctua fans like on gamer PC's... Nor would I see anyone doing aftermarket silent fan for industrial use, which is the case here.

Maybe the one you got is old avalon2 200G. and some factory use 5pcs in a case to make it 1T. |

It's all about the fans... I don't have any of those miners in particular, but if there are 120mm fans, you can replace them with a Noctua NF-S12A ULN. They move 43 cubic feet of air per minute at only 8.6 dBA.
Open the case and look at the technical specification of the fans installed, find the CFM and dBA rating on the fans (google the part number or model number). Next, find a fan with similar CFM and less dba. Then you can replace your fans with quieter ones.

I'm sure I could get that silent in <$100, its only 1000W. Unfortunately, I don't have one here.

If you were expecting a miner to sound like a computer in terms of loudness, then... welcome to the reality of mining. I bet it pumps out a lot of heat too huh? You will have to deal with the noise and find a way to vent the heat. Welcome to bitcoin mining.

Are you limited to BTCguild? |

Are you limited to BTCguild? This is why we advice people to just buy the coins! You'll have to put up with the heat and noise for 6 months just to get your investment back. Is it worth it? For most people, no! As for pools, BitMinter also works fine with my A1 chip based boards. You need a pool that supports 0 Diff (auto) or large Diff 512-1024. To get the noise/heat down you'll need to underclock to about 800GH and change the fans for quieter ones. (The 4 board 32 chips version is working 20% harder!) |

You could consider putting it in a datacenter, but it probably wouldn't be cost effective with that weird form factor.

5,000 bucks? DAMN.
There's not many options if you want a miner today. Where else can you get 1Th/s in stock ready to ship? THe pre-order game doesn't seem to be panning out for many, the numbers look great, but your months away from getting anything, even then it's only a possibility, alot of those companies are playing games, overstating their expected ship dates, or just downright scams. Having something ready to go right now is, well, worth it to many . |

Having something ready to go right now is, well, worth it to many . Sorry, not for $5000 or 10 BTC it isn't, dude. No chance to ROI in fiat or coins. $3000-$3500 maybe. There are many other places around in this forum (Group Buys section?) you can get it sub $4000 at least. This isn't sub $4000, but it's definitely not $5000: http://minersource.net/collections/frontpage/products/1-ths-28nm-minerEither that or get in line for an Antminer S2. You guys gotta do your homework.... Update. This group buy is for the same miner at around $3,000. As always proceed with caution and always use escrow: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=514758.0 |
