Other problem with ASICs...they just arent any fun at all.  You plug them in, point them at a pool and then....well, that's basically all you do with them other than cleaning them every so often or maybe replacing a fan.  No spontaneous software conflicts to deal with, no optimization tweaking, no algo switching, etc.  Different people mine for different reasons.  Immediate/medium/long term profits, supporting the ecosystem, whatever.  For me it's basically just a great big video game I had to build a massive computer network to play.

I have 20 GPU rigs across three different locations (electricity deals).  One of those rigs rotates to my home office every week so I can do maintenance, tinker with settings, decide what algo it's going to be on, etc.  I know what cards are in each of them, etc.  Hell, I even gave them all names instead of numbers (Autobots = Nvidia, Decepticons = AMD =D) because for some goofy reason it's easier for me to keep track of them in my head.  Rig one means nothing...but Optimus Prime is memorable!

I have two z9 minis.  They just run, I never even look at them.  To be completely honest, off the top of my head I couldn't even tell you where they are.
