Finally decided to pickup an ASIC Mining Rig after lots of lurking and research. I have a nice cool place for it with free electricity, but I'm new to ASIC Mining and was wondering if you guys have any tips on mining, tweaking or pools? I'm guessing 200GH is not fast enough to do solo mining for BTC, but I was thinking P2Pool or BTCGuild? Any tips or anything at all is greatly appreciated.

We're in a similar situation with hardware. I, too, am in it for the long haul.

I know you'd hate reading through hundreds of threads (been there) so here's a bit of a cheat sheet for the "Cgminer Configuration" tab when the noise becomes an issue for ya.

I got mine to quiet down some 'cuz the wifey was complaining about the howling.

DISCLAIMER: (heh-heh Wink

) Try at your own risk.

-----------------------------------------------------

Find your "Cgminer Configuration" tab under the "STATUS" tab & then find the following fields near the bottom of this page:

"Target Temperature": 50

"Overheat Cut Off Temperature": 70

"MORE OPTIONS(Default: -quiet)": --quiet

or

"MORE OPTIONS(Default: -quiet)": --avalon-fan 80

or

"MORE OPTIONS(Default: -quiet)": --avalon-fan 20

The last three "MORE OPTIONS" lines vary between AVALON miners since they're not all created equal.

Mine is hanging at the edge of my window for cooling purposes (in a high rise building) & isn't any louder than my regular desktop fan for most of the day.

PS:
Don't forget to go to the Avalon Wiki page & select the proper one you have for the correct info.
Good luck & happy mining.
