  My first custom miner using 4 Antminer S1s. Was educational and amusing to build, will be amazing if it pays for itself too! |

A few notes: I added a 120mm Antec fan to the front of each miner. I could not get any screws to work, so tied them on with wire leftover from jumping my power supply. The PSU's are Antec HCG-850M. They are in my office, where my PC also lives. They are all pulling from the same surge protector. When I overclocked them all to freq 400, it popped my circuit. They are now OC'd at 375. The strip LED's are cheesy I know, but couldn't resist. Kudos: Bitmining community - I know IT but don't know electronics so learning how to jump the PSU's and OC the Antminers is all from links on Google and this forum. Bitmaintech.com - I got the 4 Antminers in 3 orders over a 1 month period of time factory direct from China. All 3 orders arrived super fast, in 3-4 days. The machines work very well. Suggestion: The miners have wireless, but no antenna. Turns out it is hard to find just a wireless antenna, so for now these are using the 4 ethernet ports on my Wireless router. |

Photoshop? Are you for real?
are you? Its pretty rare for a new account with 1 post to show up with pictures of a $8000+ mining equipment and not give any details or info besides a terrible blurry pic. maybe is after effetcs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbxCXrYonygthe BTC-olympus youtube channel. in other words, this new user is at best a member of BTC-olympus. shady as all hell and again no real proof other than a hashrate that looks about 10-20% short of the advertised 3TH This looks like the inside: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGiMKIVWn-0 |

No Reverse Polarity. You will likely have to source one from china since regular SMA seems to be common there. You can also search for a foscam antenna. Here is an example of an antenna that will work. http://www.ebay.com/itm/320684061024 |

It looks like the machine in the last picture is about to fall out. I was tightly in place but i moved the PSU outside the case because it was getting fairly hot. |

Lots, and lots, of zip ties. Then I have (near the top) a tie on each corner to the rail mounts. The antminers have lots of small holes along the edges, perfect for tiny zip ties. It's by no means secure, but I'd rather be mining until the shelves arrive in a week! |
