I question what YOUR point is, I transferred a substantial amount of my (very hard earned) money into KnC's hands. I luckily got it refunded just in the nick of time, before it was too late to get it back (others weren't so lucky). From what I see and understand of there Neptune I would not have been very happy at all to receive the cubes, especially after all that time of waiting in the dark in reference to there horrible communication with the (paid) customers. I have to assume you don't own a Spondoolies product. Maybe if your a weekend hobbyist miner and don't mind the clutter and wasted space, then perhaps I can understand where your coming from.

My point is creaming over enterprise level hardware is retarded because you're paying EXTRA for all of that when it's likely going to be shutoff and recycled within the year.
Also, you're right, I don't own any SP-Tech gear because it's too f'ing loud and I'm not interested in cutting into my ROI by adding a bunch of colo costs. But, it is beautiful hardware and given my previous statement I'm obviously retarded too.
It is hard to make arrangements to co-locate your mining gear all because they're cutting into your profits which are so tight to begin with. The miners that have their own data center, free electricity and noise is not a factor will be pretty much these last mining rigs coming out can handle. After the middle of this year my guess the "consumer" is pretty much out of the equation due to power requirements, even louder gear and just the size of the hardware. Maybe 1 out of 10 people have their own rack in their basement but that's also in a small community in itself. I'm still trying to figure a way to get an SP30 and not having enough money isn't the problem. Price and logistics have made their way into my life.
