What are the terms of the hosting agreement? E.g. how long is the contract, hosting rate per kw, cost to transfer ownership, cost for hosting center to pack up and ship out the miners at end of life/contract? I can't really calculate a price without that information. PM me if you can't make this information public by the terms of your agreement with the hosting center. When it comes to these data center costs, sometimes a Spondooly in the hand is worth two Spondoolies in the bush.

No fee for transfer of ownership. We will ship it to you or your next hosting provider at cost. We should still have the packaging for these machines, so at-cost would probably just mean postage. The paper padding that Spondoolies uses tends to wear out with repeated use, so we might have to get some extra padding material. Our rates are published on our website, and we don't deviate from them. Month-to-month terms are $99/kW per month. Three-month terms are $93/kW.

can you confirm that your units are using around 1200W each at jtoom.im's DC?

The 1200W rating that is listed on Spondoolies's page is for 12V DC power. In actuality, most SP10 PSUs are capable of supplying 1260W, and some can go as high as 1265W. Since the PSUs the SP10 uses are about 91% efficient at that load, that means around 1260/0.91 = 1384W of AC draw.

Horcoff requested metered billing for these machines. We measured these SP10s as consuming 1.314 kW each at the wall, which is lower than we typically see for SP10s in our datacenter (typically around 1.38 kW). However, it was much warmer then, and most of his SP10s were not hitting their PSU limits in 12V DC power. Right now, our machines are getting intake temps around 10°C, and it looks like horcoff's SP10s are hitting their PSU limits as a result (and hashing faster).
