Out of curiosity, why the plexiglass foundation? Just aesthetics or a heating reason?

Anyway... These SC1's are looking more and more tempting... I wish this bull run would start already so I could more easily afford one. Someone lend me the cash? Cheesy

I had some glass .the old type folk on old dressers...I put it down because of the cheap half assed controller board just sitting on the table KNC titan setup (sucks)

so seems to keep it a bit cooler and a bit of anti-static me thinks...and looked better there then on the old dressers

the workbench is like 200 bucks at sam's club and real frigging butcher block and heavy duty steel legs...also the shelves are menard's closet setup stuff

works slick

the PSU's are a buddies idea (maxumark) he found the bladed back plates with the computer protection guts of a regular PSU inside for over voltage protection etc
pop'd them in the old knc Jupiter 550gh btc case and 15 AWG wire no y connectors needed 2580 watts at 94% eff (vs corsair1200i 91%) and cost 300 bucks for
the works new....platinum also (equiv 1200i Corsair 1200 watt also 300 bucks only ran 1/2 a titan) thus a good hack

and again as to siacoin

they will either make it as a decentralized storage operation as they have planned, cheaper than the big boys, using ASICs for speed, security etc, transactions
with the siacoin's themselves acting more as a token than a store of value...or we are all screwed.

this project works as a bitcoin equiv of a decentralized storage with the ASIC's and siacoin as kinda tokens angle

or it all goes poof...thus the ASIC's they have stated would not work as a gpu merge mined coin for the purposes they want to use this coin for .not enough control
security etc

so this is long term 2018 stuff ...or so in my limited way as how I see the project so far and I also BADLY needed the equip depreciation this year

thus it is a gamble

later
