Antminer S1 is still me favorite Antminer.
s1's were great reliable miners , im still partial to the 12 s2's i still have running to this day they have been on 24/7/365 for a long long time , only reapirs on them have been regular cleaning and a few psu fans have needed replaced
that being said all my s1/s2/s3 miners have been the most trouble free miners i have ever had , seems like quality started to take a turn at the s4
I agree with the S2! I had only the 2x front case fans replaced since one of them failed.
I used 2x Arctic F14 PWM and saved 1x original fan as a spare part. I sold it few months ago to a guy in Helsinki.
Here are some pics in memory of my Ant S2 (batch 4) the day before it was sold (click for bigger pictures):



Ant S1 still going strong with the 3D printed frame parts (I made them for fun and for possible boards of sidehack's community miner project):
I have to put it to sleep again though when I receive my new S9.
It's just pointed as a lottery ticket to the solo.ckpool.
