Been out of the ASIC loop for a while.
A buddy wants to get a quiet (non-loud) ASIC to play around with Cryptos. He will be sleeping in the same room as the ASIC and wants it to make heat and noise but not too much heat and noise.
Only one I Could think of was that Antminer S7-LN that he can hack and add some case fans.
Any other quiet ASICs out there? Similiar to an Antminer S3 in noise?
He wants to play around with crypto's? If his only interest in mining is to trade for other crypto's, he might as well just start learning to trade. And if he wants to learn anything about mining, buying an ASIC isn't going to teach him anything. ASIC's are plug n play with zero ability to switch algo's.
