I don't have , i am a trader  Sad


why not to buy one ?  antminer S5+ already launch last Friday by Bitmain !
Not feasible for home mining, large power requirement and enough noise to make your wife assault you or break your miners. (seriously though you will need not just 220v but a hell of a breaker box)
It's almost not even feasible for datacenter operations either.  Sure, it's about the size of 3 S5s tied together, but you're not going to be able to rack these things... so it's open shelving for them.  Oh, and at 3436W from the wall... and with Bitmain explicitly stating not to use multiple PSUs per board, means you're going to have to either throw 3 EVGA 1300G2's per miner, or if you're getting more than one, you can use those IBM Server 2880W PSUs - 1.5 of them per miner.

Most certainly not a home miner though...
I am really hoping the S7 comes out soon and keeps a similar form factor to the S5 and increases hashrate but keeps around the same Wattage at the wall.
