Although it offers decent hashrate at reasonable wattage, it's not really competing with the Apollo II. For one thing, it's just a miner - it might be a decent miner to point to the Apollo II node, though. Secondly, this thing is huge and hot with an emphasis on being a large floor heater. The obvious placement would be on the floor where all the dirt and dust likes to gather for a friendly get-together. And because the air intake is on the bottom it's gonna work like a vacuum and suck up all that crud. Thirdly, there doesn't appear to be an Ethernet port which forces you to use the included USB WiFi adapter which attaches to the underside of the unit. And I haven't seen many units that get good WiFi connections while sitting on the floor, especially one with a USB WiFi adapter that points to the floor and located underneath the actual hardware. Aside from the obvious issues, the miner does offer some good hashrate but it's not gonna kill the Apollo II as it stands today. In the future if they make it so that it works as an air-conditioner instead of a heater, then I might get one myself - lol.
Cheers!
I see it a bit differently:
Decent hashrate? It's 4x the hashrate of an Apollo II for a couple hundred dollars more.
Regarding heat, that's what comes with that level of hashrate. Any miner putting out 37 TH is going to generate a lot of heat.
The floor heater idea is novel, but I'm guessing really impractical for most users. No one is going to use this to heat an occupied room due to the noise, just like no one would put an Apollo II in an occupied room. It'll go in my basement, just like my other miners.
As far as ingesting dust/particles, it does have a washable filter FWIW.
