anyone built an outdoor mining cabinet? I want to put some S1 or S3 units outdoors for the winter, but am afraid that wayward snow/slush/debris on my balcony (its an apartment) might get sucked in or otherwise contact the equipment.

The solution in my mind is a 4-walled box (bottom,top,sides) with 1-2 fabric filters over the inlet/exhaust sides of the box (mostly the inlet). Main concerns are the inlet fabric icing over (if heat removal is too effective) or being the target of pigeon intrusion (yeah these guys are a messy problem - and a huge source of dust and debris on the balcony)

pfft, nobody reads a 323 page thread before posting? (I used the search feature to save time.)

I don't intend to make a copy of that outdoor setup, as it's likely inadequate for my use, largely due to the high risk of pidgin intrusion. I don't doubt that a warm enclosed area would become infested with sky rats on my balcony, and as such a more per meant design is preferred.

Imo, might buy some plywood and furnace filters to build something. The furnace filters leave lots of room for airflow, and are fairly thick so icing over is unlikely.
