5 antminer S1 units, cooled by a pair of Cougar 90cfm fans and running approx 460GH/430W  (still working on tuning, 2 units are only running 70GH). Runs off a single CS650M

ps: temps are up around 60-65C, and the hardware seems fine with that. I plan to get it in a cooler location soon though to drop temps 5-10C

Very cool efficient setup!

Edit: What are your clock settings?

someone needs to make a compilation image that shows the evolution of mining hardware from cpus, gpus, then asics....etc....much like the "evolution" of man from monkeys (not that I believe in that).

not all the boards are equally modded - the 5 pairs of boards range from voltage of 0.75-0.85V and as such use frequencies between 193-212 with to:45-55. I find at low speeds trying a lower timeout can help, but tends to result in lower speeds (the temps also cause that - a bit cooler intake would help)

Another beautiful Frankenstein S1 machine!

1TH from 6 S1 units - thats about 1400W correct?

The S1 units can go to around 1w/gh at a lower voltage, but still it wont do much to make them profitable. At $0.15/kwh assembling my 5 units into a stack was simply to save space and run it on 2 fans only. Ive got a box of powerful fans and big aluminum hunks to deal with still though - Im hoping each frame is worth >$5 to a scrap dealer, and the fans are worth about $10 each to myself whenever ueful for other hardware (I changed all the rockminer fans for antminer fans)

edit: a bit of gooling indicates that scrap aluminum from radiators or cast aluminum is worth less than high-quality items like car rims - about $0.50-0.70 per pound.

Only $0.15 cents!? Here in Holland 0.235 euro cent kilowatt. ($0.28)

Nah its only ~600gh from the 6 s1's plus the s3 make up the ~1th I have not looked in a long time to see the power draw but Ill look today.

how does one even have a hope in hell of mining at that price?   even at $0.15 CAD (so actually about $0.13 USD) I need to make some optimistic estimates when justifying a hardware purchase. The guys with $0.05/kwh are the ones that are building megawatt farms and laughing thier way to the bank with 2-3x the profit/TH

[spiceminer15]

not really. i pay 0.064 and it was not worth it at ~$330 BTC

dpends on how optimistic you are regarding price and network difficulty growth slowing down over the next 12 months. At $0.13 USD/kwh my assumptions include >$1000 by 2016 and difficulty growth sticking around 4-5%/jump for the next while, at least until price growth. Theres also the fact that hardware often sells used for 2-3x its mining value near the end of its life. Right now, S3 units are still selling for $200 and the S1 goes for ~$50 on sites like kijiji, craigslist, ebay, despite the fact you can get new hardware that is similar hashrates but more efficient for similar $/GH.

all i can say is good luck to you LOL. im not going to pay $700 a month in power bills hoping to make money some time down the road maybe (probably not)

s1 are not going for $50 on ebay. maybe in including shipping.

i sold 70+ of them for about $20-$25 on ebay a couple weeks ago.

and the s3s for $150-$180 including shipping

Ive had good luck selling at decent prices locally
IMo mining gives the ability to invest that $700 monthly, rather than entirely up-front. I view mining as a way of hedging. It provides me with the ability to produce BTC at a profit and easily move money into BTC without an exchange. If prices dwindle I can stop mining and cut my losses in comparison to having to sell off bitcoin holdings

I vividly remember how i looked at GPU mining in 2012 and mined a few dollars with no real profitability. walked away after a week or two. Came back in mid-2013 and was amazed to see that those BTC and LTC were worth 10x as much and that GPU mining was actually becoming profitable all over again.   I think that will happen again if Bitcoin makes a large price movement, just like when everyone and thier mom was bringing S1 units and asicminer gear online last week because it was profitable for paycoin.
