Hi I just finished my project, big home heater. 2x antminer C1 (2.31 btc + 120$ fees ~ 870$) 6 meters pipe 10mm (6$) circulation pump 28W 0.7m3/h (70$) chevrolet cooler with fan (from scrap, 20$) cooper joints, spliters (50$) 2 PSU, 1200gold from dragon and 1300W rosewill platinum (from scrapped miners) I connected fan from PSU using 5V molex. Fan is not loud ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) This setup allows to heat whole floor (50m2) with 24 celsius. Great for winter. I am very happy ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) comments welcome https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_gCnvsM-QY![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fi61.tinypic.com%2Fkaqxwy.jpg&t=665&c=kuB6djaamjKXIQ) ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fi60.tinypic.com%2F25f3odk.jpg&t=665&c=aQMlWQPFAmYdJg) ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fi62.tinypic.com%2F2rdbzah.jpg&t=665&c=pD2ix32bb_JH8A)

The cooler looks like it could need some cleaning... I would certainly not operate it in a living area. Apart from that, it's a "cool" project!

With any water cooling kits, make sure you added stuff to the fluid to keep algae down. Also, I hope you didn't mix metals. Aluminium + copper = bad in a loop. Aside from that, that looks awesome! How cool are the miners running? No doubt that radiator can handle the heat ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

I noticed you left some air in the loop, that's bad for the pump. You need a reservoir to trap the air. The fastest way to make one would be to take a jar, punch 2 holes in the lid and add to the loop before the pump.

Yeah, it will be fine as a heater, but i dont think that you will ever be able to get your invested money back from mining.

really nice work, well done! so right now i am sitting with a 1kw fan heater and i am paying 0.25euro cent per kw/hr for this. what miner will make a good cost effective heater...... nothing too loud ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) main purpose is foot warming while at desk.
