So, I made another thing yesterday:









The 2 PSUs are PFE1100 units, pulled from an old cointerra IV box. Thy are really incredible little PSUs, 94% efficency at 100% load. Blows the socks off of every other PSU I have. Up to 8 of them can be linked together if needed, providing a whopping 8800W of pure efficiency.

You may have noticed the the light gauge black and white twisted wires connecting to the 4th cube. Each pair goes back to a breakout board on each PSU. Their purpose is voltage sensing at the load, and allow the PSUs to dynamically adjust their voltage level to compensate for voltage drop across the wires.

The 5 cube Titan (420MH/s scrypt, 1 dead die) makes for a prefect house heater. It's very quiet, which is a requirement with my better half. She didn't even realize they were in the house until she saw them! Temps have been warmer than usual, and these guys have been enough to keep all the heating in the house off so far. When it gets cold enough (below -5c constantly I guess) I'll bring in reinforcements in the form of a 6 cube Neptune.
