this thing seems pretty sweet, it allow me to make profit even now, 50-75 net per month, not bad at all, still it would be good to see a a lower level antminer s7, a small cousin

because i don't want to run somethign which consume more than 600w for now, it would be a problem with this apartment when running thing like washing machine etc...


you mean s5 or something else
A similar wattage to S5 but using a single s7 board is what we are talking about. This would keep noise needed down, give double the hashrate of an S5 and be even smaller than s5.

interesting, but is it doable, I wonder?
people can just form a co-op of loose S7 boards: say, each of three-four-five people take one board out and stick them into a pre-made box with 140mm fans for less noise.
However, taking one board out of S7 might change the properties of the wind tunnel-S7 seems to be very dense inside as it is.
The good thing is that it gives some impetus for fiddling with S7, which is great.

This might sound silly, but what I had in mind was 3 people purchasing 2 miners and split them into 3 unique miners with 2 hashing boards each. Ofcourse this would require a extra controller.
