Antminer S1 is still me favorite Antminer.

s1's were great reliable miners , im still partial to the 12 s2's i still have running to this day they have been on 24/7/365 for a long long time , only reapirs on them have been regular cleaning and a few psu fans have needed replaced

that being said all my s1/s2/s3 miners have been the most trouble free miners i have ever had , seems like quality started to take a turn at the s4
I agree with the S2! I had only the 2x front case fans replaced since one of them failed.
I used 2x Arctic F14 PWM and saved 1x original fan as a spare part. I sold it few months ago to a guy in Helsinki.
Here are some pics in memory of my Ant S2 (batch 4) the day before it was sold (click for bigger pictures):



Ant S1 still going strong with the 3D printed frame parts
(I made them for fun and for possible boards of sidehack's community miner project):

I have to put it to sleep again though when I receive my new S9.
It's just pointed as a lottery ticket to the solo.ckpool.

Speaking of S2's here's my rock solid S2.  Notice the uptime.

Just finished the setup process




just a little advice: use fireproof material for your rig rack's

Very nice - I see you're a fan of 8020 as well!  Wink  What material are you using for your sides?  I use acrylic but primarily just because I have a laser cutter and it's one of the easiest materials to work with:



One suggestion you might consider - I experimented a fair bit with airflow, and if I'm interpreting things right you're pushing in on the bottom of the front and pulling out on the top of the back.  I tried a similar approach, but it ended up being less efficient, and the best was actually making the push and pull parallel to eachother, and just putting vent slats above the front of the inlet fans, so hot air can't get trapped in there.  If you put the vents above the exhaust, then it tends to short-circuit - but as you can see in my latest builds, I just opted for no back panels at all and use industrial tubeaxial fans.

Panels are laser cut from galvanized steel, exterior is powder painted, I've used intake/exhaust fans on same height before but it used to have problems with hot air trapped above GPU's, current setup is performing much better. I might try slats above intake next time I order laser cut parts.

Nice - I wish my laser had enough power to cut steel, but I'm not baller enough to do oxygen assist.  Wink  The slats will definitely solve the problem, I tried a similar design before and had exactly the same problem, that's why I suspected why you mounted the fans the way you did.  Wink  Oh, and you're better off not cutting that spiral pattern out of the metal - not only will it reduce your cut costs dramatically, but I suspect you're loosing 5-10% of your fan performance by having them:

https://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/articles/Effects-of-Grill-Patterns-on-Fan-Performance-Noise-107/

All in all I think you did a great job on your build - definitely one of the most well thought out designs I've seen.

Laser is not mine of course it's an industrial machine. I've seen that study about grill patterns and the one I've chosen is a trade off between performance and cut costs. I would prefer wire grills but I haven't found one for that fan size at reasonable cost, yet I want to have something in front of them.

5 x GPU rigs x 2 per chassis?

HDMI dummy plugs - it makes them think they're plugged into monitors.  On Windows at least I haven't found a way to get the 470's to reliably report temp or keep fan speed without them.  Nvidia cards work fine.

I would prefer wire grills but I haven't found one for that fan size at reasonable cost, yet I want to have something in front of them.

heheh, my fan's are WAY more dangerous, and I don't bother putting anything in front of them (aluminum blades)... If you don't know to not put your finger near them, then you can make that mistake 9 more times.  Wink  I don't know the exact size of the fans you're using, but there are universal grills like this one:

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/3pcs-Metal-Protective-Cover-150mm-DC-AC-Cooling-Ventilation-PC-Fan-Grille-15cm-Dust-Filter/32555020718.html?spm=2114.40010308.4.49.ALtfMo

Notice that instead of screw holes they have channels, so they can fit basically any size fine that matches their dimensions.  I've seen these all over, and it's the same thing even available for my fan (at 254mm).

Yes these can be bought, but final price is not completely certain yet, current estimate is around 310€.

I've got a batch of 8 cases in production, there's some changes compared to the prototypes. First 4 were 2x5 GPU rigs, next ones will have 2x6 GPU's. 7 should be possible with newer cards that have lower power consumption.


MarkAz - Thanks I'll check those grills out, mine are 230mm low rpm plastic fans, I've lost quite few fan blades instead of fingers by accident Tongue

HDMI dummy plugs - it makes them think they're plugged into monitors.  On Windows at least I haven't found a way to get the 470's to reliably report temp or keep fan speed without them.  Nvidia cards work fine.



Do those work for remote access screen resolution issues?  I notice that I have screen resolution issues when I remotely access the miner if I don't have a monitor plugged into at least one graphics card, and that is true for both RDP and teamviewer.  Windows wants to default to something like 800x600 when it thinks it can't detect a monitor - also have display issues with MSI afterburner in remote access sessions which is what I think you are referring to.  I can sometimes use DVI plugs for that purpose but they don't always work (depends on the card I guess).  

Also where do you get those?  I see some on amazon but they are pricey.

Are you alright with taking the large financial loss of running those miners?

Are you alright with taking the large financial loss of running those miners?

they were on free power, and even the power at my datacenter is super cheap , that being said i finally took down my s2's a few days ago and replaced them with under clocked sp20's , the sp20's came out of my datacenter so i figured i would replace the s2's with them so i can dbl the hashrate at the free power location


as much as i hated to do it ive been stripping down the s2's and parting them out , psus , fans , beagle bones etc , i might hold onto a case or 2 just to see if i can repurpose them for anything , been thinking about seeing if i can stuff them full of s7//s9 blades with an ibm 2880 psu to make a nice rack mount case. but thats not real high up on the last of things to do

Funny, someone just asked me about those yesterday!  Wink

I've used two different dummy plugs:

http://amzn.to/2doy7xV

and

http://www.ebay.com/itm/191567271934?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

TBH I really can't tell the difference between the two - I mostly use the eBay ones because if you buy 20 or more he'll do $11/each, but the Amazon one is Prime so if I f-up and need one I can get it from them fast.

It definitely solved the resolution for VNC, I don't use the other two, so can't speak to it or not.  You really only need one in most cases, in your primary card - I just use the so I can see more stats.

Primary card i can understand to fix remote access resolution, but why the hell would you doend 6x 15 bucks when u dont need to, how can the shown temps be wrong?

On Windows 10 running the latest ATI drivers and RX470's, they don't report their temps to the OS (using OpenHardwareMonitor, but Claymore seems to get them) - but the larger issue is that the fan control doesn't seem to work.  I normally have claymore set to have them at 80%, but I literally will see the fans not spinning, then plug in the dongle and they start spinning.  Plus with the dongle, then the temps show up even if the video output is disabled...  My systems with Nvidia cards have no problem just having the one dongle for the whole system...  For me it's more important to have everything being monitored than save a couple bucks, so I put them on all the cards just to be sure.  If at some point I don't need them, I can easily just use them individually on systems.
