Much louder than the L3, but less than A4 or Antminer S9. But unfortunately too loud for my wife having it in the garage.
Well, I have to admit that our neighours have their garden right next to it and we don't want trouble with them Smiley
This wasn't a problem for me, I already planned to send it to Hosting because my energy price is far too high (approx 0.3/USD per kWh).

Wow, that must be a pretty loud miner if it can't reside in the garage.  I moved my miners to the garage because they were too loud to be inside...but getting booted out of the garage Cheesy

How do you deal with the heat, dust, and humidity effectively ?

For me personally...I live in a high humidity area and corrosion on the electronics so far has not been an issue (maybe due to the higher temperature around the miner lowering the humidity in it's immediate area), heat has not been an issue as you are just looking for a delta...as long as the garage is significantly cooler than the miner (which it should be) it will cool (of course not as well as in a cool house).  But dust...I get lots of dust...haven't had an issue yet, but this could be an issue over time...I need to keep an eye on it.

How many miners / what types do you have in there?

I just have a several different fpga's running right now.  I had a couple of different asics (i.e. S7, etc) running there but I sold those and I've been looking for something else.  I was looking at the x11 baikal miners but right now ordering them is a pain, so I am just looking to see what else is out there.
