Re: DRILLBIT SYSTEM Miners - 2.7 GH/s thumbs 0.65 BTC, 21.7 GH/s boards 2 BTC
So small, I really thought they would be larger. (I can always put the mini in a larger computer case with a noise generator and blinking lights to get that effect though, just for when company is over of course! 
)
)Indeed they're tiny. And now that they take 6-pin PCI-e for the miniplane, we have the option of using them seamlessly with a desktop PC if desired. Add them to the 5.25" bays of your fileserver/HTPC etc. if that's more efficient than using a separate computer. Or still hook them up to a laptop or rpi and do the paperclip trick to turn on the ATX PSU.
Waiting for the go on 12V and I will order my Cooler Master V450S at 92% efficiency. (We need that with the rates here in Germany nearing .28 kwh)
Very nice.
I've dug up three suitable PSU's lying around (typical nerd
)- Antec CP-850 (82~83% efficient at ~100W load @ 120V, so most likely 84~85% efficient at 240V. Not bad for such a high wattage unit)
- Antec HCG-520 (~85% efficient @ ~100W load @ 220V)
- Seasonic S12II 520W (same as above)
This is for 4x boards on 1x miniplane (so ~120W from the wall) and a Dell Mini 9 (~6W from the wall) to run it. Looking to use Win 7 32-bit on its 16GB SSD (using RT Seven Lite to slim it down a bit).
