Intereted to see how much THESE cost!

Just hoping this isn't what they meant when they said "Selling to the public". I don't think my neighbors would like this in front of my house with a big power cable running to it....  Grin

Everything old is new again.

The attached article gives a detailed discussion on Bitcoin mining in a 1.2 Megawatt container data center.  

It also has details of KNC, ASICminer and Megabig power large scale mining.  

The interesting thing is that the article is from 2014 when the total worth of mining was $845 million pa and expected to grow.  Today total mining earnings are about $525 million pa and if Bitcoin stays around $400, possibly just $260 million pa after July.  

Back then mining attracted big money.
