Homemade tin foil shroud with 2 x 250 CFM extractors from Home Depot (piped out a basement side window). Just enough to extract heat from 2 x S7s and 2 x Neptune cubes exhausting upwards.

Inserting setup don't know that I have seen to close to this before on neptunes.  Do you have more pictures of the foil shroud? I would love to see a little more of it.

Figured I'd post this here for people who don't follow the S7 thread.

Decided to "make a thing" to power my S7s Grin. Hope some of you will appreciate this!







2X 2000w server PSUs sharing the load of the 3 S7s. Will shortly be replacing the PSUs with the 2500w versions since I'm actually pulling 4400w DC from them right now, which is 200w over their rating on each.

I've adjusted the voltage output to 12.6v on the PSUs.

Not at the moment. But it is really very simple. I just placed and secured the 2 exhaust fans over the top wire shelf and built the shroud around the fans. There is a window behind the shelves which I boarded up, painted nicely on the outside, into which I installed 2 vents which are ducted to the fans.

Nah, 12v is too low to get even a shock from, much less getting electrocuted. I think you start feeling electricity somewhere around 50v or so. This is assuming dry skin, of course. Wet skin would be lower. The only danger would be if something made of metal were to short the 2 bus bars out.

For the most part you are correct.  Just do not wear rings when working with this.  Seen several people have cooked fingers from letting rings hit bus bars back in my DC datacenter days.

Ha! Never thought of that. Probably since I don't wear rings, so I'm safe. Smiley

Wow, looks homemade but effective. Very impressive! Do those fans do enough to cool those machines or you need extra fans?

I agree it's very impressive.  You no doubt put together a nice PSU for a decent price.  I like the look aswell.

Eventhough I like the look those exposed bars scare the heck out of me.  That is a lot of power running though there.

Prelude I really like what you did there.
When I use my 2000BBs stacked together I strap the fans using tiewraps and then my cables run straight off the GekkoScience break out boards to the miners, but I like your implementation of the separate connection bars.
Once cable is only 12v, but you are gonna get a nice little bump if you short that to ground with a sweaty hand my man. At least run some silicon, or actually, you could put a small piece of cheap plexiglass across the top of the bus bars. Terminal strips that long aren't that expensive either, but I know if I'd built it I'd be happy and proud of not needing other materials. You probably had everything laying around Smiley
Still though, some terminal strips with side guards would be a big bonus.

It is a good looking setup though for 4k watts. I have half a dozen in the closet I need to make a project with.
At the moment everything is running using the 2880s w/ Jabbers boards from Finsky.

Sidehack and Finsky have both treated me well. I've never had a bad experience with either of them with transactions, or with Jabber or Gekko's equipment. I do like the options on the GekkoScience b/o board for the 2000bb as well.

I think I am going to do what you did. I copy good ideas all the time and try to improve them.

Transaction fees go to the pools and the pools decide to pay them to the miners. Anything else, including off-chain solutions are stealing and not the way Bitcoin was intended to function.
Make the block size set by the pool. Pool = miners and they get the choice.

what's the purpose of the busbar, and not just connecting the PCIe wires directly to your breakout boards?

obviously the load-sharing provides slightly better stability/overhead, but for ~$20 of extra materials and at least an hour of added assembly adding another PSU seems simpler

24" PCI-E cables with 16AWG wires and stripped ends - great for server PSU mods, best prices https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=563461

I'm really not worried about the bus bars. I've got 2 DPS2500s coming in today, turning the setup into a 5000W beast instead fo 4000W. Once they're installed, I'll be putting everything up on a shelf out of reach. If it was somewhere where kids or pets could get at it, I'd definitely cover them up somehow, but as it is they're in a garage where only I have access.

They're definitely a pleasure to deal with, and both have great hardware to offer. I have a slight preference for sidehack's boards because they have a lot more options available on them, for example the load sharing, 5v for controllers, and fan headers with speed control.

Make sure you send me some pics of your setup if you make one too!

I needed the bus bars to use load sharing properly, need a common bus between both PSUs to pull juice from them equally. I went with this setup because the loading wouldn't have been equal across both PSUs while powering 3 S7s. One PSU would've powered 5 blades while the other only 4. That would cause one PSU to be overloaded while the other one was under utilized. I guess if I had the 2500BB to start with, I wouldn't have bothered, but it was a nice little project that I enjoyed putting together. I learned from it, and the next one will be more efficient.

So, I made another thing yesterday:









The 2 PSUs are PFE1100 units, pulled from an old cointerra IV box. Thy are really incredible little PSUs, 94% efficency at 100% load. Blows the socks off of every other PSU I have. Up to 8 of them can be linked together if needed, providing a whopping 8800W of pure efficiency.

You may have noticed the the light gauge black and white twisted wires connecting to the 4th cube. Each pair goes back to a breakout board on each PSU. Their purpose is voltage sensing at the load, and allow the PSUs to dynamically adjust their voltage level to compensate for voltage drop across the wires.

The 5 cube Titan (420MH/s scrypt, 1 dead die) makes for a prefect house heater. It's very quiet, which is a requirement with my better half. She didn't even realize they were in the house until she saw them! Temps have been warmer than usual, and these guys have been enough to keep all the heating in the house off so far. When it gets cold enough (below -5c constantly I guess) I'll bring in reinforcements in the form of a 6 cube Neptune.

Its been gutted.  All that is in there is a Raspberry Pi and the original power supply powering the Pi.  

EDIT: and as of last night there is now an Antrouter U1 there just because I thought it was neat.
