That is some top notch hardcore porn, thank you for sharing, even more pictures would be appreciated. Now I need a change of pants.

This is the array of ~140 Cairnsmore CM1 boards I built last summer.  The last time I had all of them hashing on a single pool they were pumping out around 115 GH/s.  Power demand is 6.5 kW, not including cooling.  I've moved them to a better location for summer, which is why I'm comfortable posting now

When I saw Skyfall I laughed at the lame crypto gear the movie's villian had.   Grin

Hi Iso.  Here is 1 group of 18 pulled out for flashing so that I didn't have to stand in the middle of those shelves, which was like standing in front of a pizza oven!  I hand built the molex connectors of PCI-E cables from the Seasonic 1250 gold PSUs, and you can see the up/down ribbon connectors between each pair of boards which I built myself as well.  I pulled off Enterpoint's top down fans and used side and back blowing fans so that the hot air would move away from the boards, and to reduce the stacking height.

I wish I had video of the whole thing running.  It is pretty cool with yellow leds every time a work unit is completed, greens when shares are found (about 15/s I think) and quick flashes for the IO operations.  But I could never get the lighting or perspective right.
