@smracer your setup looks so clean Some people argued in another thread that you can't have miners placed like that, without separating hot and cold air. Looks like they were wrong I have a 15,000CFM upblast fan above all the miners taking the heat out. Man with the summer heat here in the North East US I wish I had a 15k CFM vent fan, here are 8 Ant S3s breathing out a window ...saving space I like the setup may I ask what powersupply that is using the red cables? Looks like a corsair beside . But i was not sure on red cabled one but looks nice.

Looks like a corsair beside . But i was not sure on red cabled one but looks nice. I had 2 spare Corsair 650s, they power 1 Ant S3 each, might be able to supply a 3rd Ant between the two Corsairs, but no space in the window The 12 red modular PCI-E cables (6 each PSU) connect to two EVGA 1300s each powering 3 Ants. All the Ants have different configs (settled on most efficient after testing for each Ant) and run between 3.8 and 4 TH/s combined on a local P2Pool node.

KNC Jupiter 550gh 0ct 18th 2013 till now ....very very close to getting 50 btc out of the beastie! BUT Bought a KNC Titan (boo I know dumb never ROI now me thinks) so setup up this platform for the rigs moved the KNC 550gh to this new workbench. (ie Triplitte 220v and 2nd 120v isobar surge protection units ..also note laptop using a cheap never can run anything beyond window's XP Compaq EVO n800v with Unbuntu 12.04 free easy to run linux...and then use putty.exe to monitor the miner...upgrades are a snap! A good use for all them UN-upgradeable past XP no longer can run 0/S laptops.......works just fine for miner usage for monitoring) More then a bit of overkill ..but I got this workbench from Sam's Club and have never used it ...meant too.... but need to pour a cement floor in the old cistern to make a workshop..then bitcoin came along ...so.....wtf. Anyway the bench is available at Sam's Club http://www.samsclub.com/sams/ultra-heavy-duty-workbench/prod1490086.ip?navAction=Again probably way over the top on the bench...but hey was not using it ...then just got some of those metal closet shelving kits from Menard's to make the shelf underneath ... http://www.menards.com/main/storage-organization/closet-organization/wire-shelving-systems/36-x-12-linen-shelf-kit/p-1633841.htmwith a dongle to attach two shelves into one....a bit of cutting and viola..bottom shelf as seen in above workbench pics. I admit... pricey... but should work fine for the addition of the Titan (which I should use for good now that I can't ROI on the beastie...maybe use it to 51% attack sh*tty new altcoins ...start a gang of disgruntled Titan users....run amuck..yeah thats the ticket!) anyway probably overkill but all was laying about but the wire for the outlets and the shelving underneath in my case and of course more room to make 'further' dubious miner purchases...(I'm such an ASIC slut!) (sigh) anyway the little KNC Jupiter 550gh has treated me very well by the by.....thou Searing p.s. link to all my pics...including the trashed box my Jupiter arrived in (scary) so it goes in basements around the world! http://lostgonzo.imgur.com/all/

KNC Jupiter 550gh 0ct 18th 2013 till now ....very very close to getting 50 btc out of the beastie!
Interesting so the BTC profability per $/Watt has moved as follows from FPGA to ASIC: Hardware: 0,075 to 0,005 BTC/$ Electricity: 3,75 to 0.06 BTC/Watt That's a factor x15 less for hardware price and >x60 less for electricity cost. O_o Lets push that difficulty a little bit more! Remember: if you heat your home in the winter (not overheat!!!) with mining; ROI does not matter! Hell you can even run old ASICs at a loss, they will always be less expensive than your radiator!

I did notice the lack of pictures of small miners in this thread, it means that mining is really turning to be a corporate professional task since the introduce of ASICs.

It's not that it is "corporate", it's just not interesting to post a small setup. Nobody cares that you have 2 S1s hooked up to a 750W psu. The days of rat nests, daisy chained motherboards with 20 pci risers and custom GPU mounts made out of chopsticks and bubblegum are in the past when it comes to bitcoin mining.

Great story, Searing I never got a damaged package but every time I order I remind myself to kill the guy if he tries to hand me something like that. Usually electronics is packed in a plastic bag to stop the moisture so KNC fucked up here, you were lucky. They should start wrapping them in foil, maybe even using double packaging (a small box wrapped in plastic inside a bigger cardboard that works as a bumper). It's really worth it if you're sending something worth over a thousand $. The cost of another box would be what? $5?

I know the frankenjupiter was a joke shipped broken...have not heard on the Neptunes are they actually shipped and packaged good now? I mean I am getting a NEVER ROI Titan....if it is gonna be a hobby toy only good for making up a group/gang of Titan members to squash with 51% attacks sh*ty new scrypt alt coins for mayhem/fun well so be it ..but would like this now 'hobby toy' to at least arrive in one piece so I can at least listen to the soothing whirly noises and pretty xfmas tree LCD lights etc.....it an't much but winter is coming I could use the 'heat'...lol FML Searing

Uhoh, what miner do you have that smells? I used 2x "silence modded" BFL Singles to heat my house last winter, they only supplied half of the heat required during the - months, but now I have 2x BFL Monarches on the way so I think I will be able to go all ASIC for heat this winter, at worst I'll boot up the Singles too... 3 things that REALLY are good arguments for the Monarches: - USB, I have the router in the cold attic and I wan't to use my already stable PC to Router WiFi, all other miners have ethernet port = cable mess, holes in the walls/roof OR multiple unstable RPi/Beagle WiFi radiating crap... hubs are better than switches. - Silence! The water cooling of these beasts is apparently super silent = good for being able to heat the bedroom! - Dynamic clock, you can run them like so: GH___ | W____ | W/GH | 550 | 339 | 0.62 | 600 | 368 | 0.61 | 650 | 432 | 0.66 | 700 | 471 | 0.70 | 730 | 530 | 0.73 | 780 | 609 | 0.78 |
Which means I will buy a PC thermometer and clock them automatically to get the right temp.

My BFL Single went up in a puff of smoke as I was sitting next to it 5 days after I got it. I quickly turned it off and then thought about what to do for the next 30 min. I got a fire extinguisher read and laid down flame barrier - but it failed to turn on. 209 BTC for that thing and again no switch - had to plug it in with gloves and hope it wouldn't surge.
