I've another 2 small questions.. If someone could answer me please (sorry for being noob).

1) If you buy it you only need to buy a  PSU and then connect to the antminer right, follow tutos and then you'll get your estimated hashes right ? You  don't need to do anything more?

2) Btw, I've seen that Amp suggested are 70A (So would be a problem if you connect this item into your home at some room ?

Thanks in advance

You will need an ethernet cable (at least cat 5) as well so you can connect to your router (NOT PC!). Miner will find your network, but you will need to find it's IP by using advanced Ip scanner on PC or iNET on a Mac (it will be called antminer). Then, you connect to this IP adddress in the browser by simply typing it in in the www window, like 192.168.1.120
To get amperage, you divide ~600W (at default speed, but could be slightly higher) by your wall voltage (110/120, 220 or 240)=amperes at the wall
However, you would NOT be able to live in the same room as this miner (unless you extensively modify it with one or even two "silent" fans).

So these ones are setup to use DHCP out of the box instead of static 192.168.1.whatever the old ones were?

yes so if you are  a router with 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 it finds an ip address.

this means you need an ip scan program.  I think angry ip or advanced ip are still good for windows.

I am running my home on macs so I am no longer sure if the 2 above are still good links
