Why not just make some kind of fire-proof housing for 2x S1's?  Creating a solution from scratch for a small market geared towards home heating would defeat the purpose of using older, less efficient miners that otherwise would have been tossed or sold at a fraction of the purchase price.  Otherwise it would just make sense to buy something like Spondoolies or S3's which would come in at the same price point (or less).


S-3's would work if you find the correct fan's  I am going to do a thread on s-3's with different fans vs the r-boxes


3 r-boxes and a rpi = 400 usd  and  390gh  power =  400 watts

1 s-3 plus the newer fans = 365 usd and 450gh power = 365watts


the s-3 has wifi with an antenna added  if may be better but and here is your but  I do not have a good enough fan as of today.  so far every set of fans that works good enough to cool the s-3 is too loud.

I have this set coming  to me on thurs:
