Here is the first rack of the new dc.

Wow! Nice, but whats wrong with the bottom center S2?
It is probably ok, just the backlights of those LCDs seem to die pretty quickly.
If you look closely, those fans are facing with the airflow up and out. You can tell by seeing the crossbars that connect the fan motor to the housing which is usually on the outlet side.
So those are probably second fans with the factory default fans on the bottom. They are situated the "right way".

Ya I was about to say they could have just flipped the fans
Fans are much less effective in suck position. You would have to make the tunnel over the heatsinks air tight.
Showoff.............lol.
Isn't that what this thread is all about! 
LOL you haven't seen a SHOWOFF until you you watched SeekSilence/Shanghai Miner's video! Each one of these mining boxes is 1TH (1200TH farm)

I see somebody is amused by my work..
Yeah this very nice
Thanks, raskul.
Not so nice any more, though:

the legend.. *sniff* in 3 years only dust will be left over
Just put your liquid cooling radiators outside not the whole PC!
I post this in honor of rjk's Mining Rig Extraordinaire (the Trenton BPX6806 18-slot PCIe backplane)

Final image before he ran into some kind of 11x GPU card limit on the motherboard backplane. Truly legendary!

Toilet paper and cardboard boxes literally right against stacks of potential ignition sources, A++ would ignite again.
Those multiplugs are a fire hazard if you're not careful how much you load onto them. I'd check how warm the cables feel.
OK that wins the prize for the worst rig I have seen, and I've read every single post in this thread. It looks like it fell though the ceiling or something yet somehow is stacked semi neatly. Is that a wasp nest or beehive developing on it!?!
possible roof cave in on it?
My guess they put too much load on a wire, it melted, shorted and set on fire, then burned through the ceiling causing the collapse. Before you put rigs together learn the load capacity AWG (Americican Wire Gauge) of your power cables.
And yes, that is a quakecon sign 
Took me a while not to read that as QuakecoIn 
I always think of the Euro as Quake II
A 132GH stack of Technobit Hex16B miners hidden under a chair modified with Arctic F9 fans to make them quiet.

Wouldn't hurt to have a BAMT alternative regardless.
Old too, but there is an alternative, I've always used LinuxCoin

I'm using the Strike-X Advance, on it's side like a desktop, lets the heat out but keeps the EM radiation in.

Re: I hear often that mining is not worth it anymore for newcomers, is this true?
Just realized after typing this how old the thread is. 
Sometimes it's cheaper to buy the BTC, rather than the mining equipment, BTC price 4th July 2011 was just $12.80!!!
When we were mining on GPUs it was easy to make a profit but with ASIC it took me nearly a year to reach ROI, and you need to ask yourself, "is it worth the hassle of keeping it all running?"
I made about 10% on my ASIC investment so I'd have to say playing the rise and fall in BTC price is way easier than mining, these days, we just need the Fed to announce QE4 to see BTC rise again!

3) Users will have until 11:59 PM (PST) on January 31, 2015 to withdraw any remaining balances on their account.
Why should you have to login to withdraw, just settle what's owed, by send it to the registered BTC address on account before you close!

Your IP has been banned for too many failed login attempts or registration attempts.
I'm having trouble logging in, LOL, praying to the BTC support gods now! Shouldn't be much in there, I pay myself daily to avoid such issues!
I've heard of arsonists among firefighters. They were being paid extra if there was a fire, so they decided to torch some old buildings.
If they only knew the possibilities this crypto industry has to offer
Rumor is three different buildings burnt down.If they only knew the possibilities this crypto industry has to offer
What usually happens with overloaded cables is.. it all seems to be running fine.. until you get a some hot weather or an extractor fan fails.
Three separate buildings going up wouldn't be a surprise, the heat from one fire, causes the overloaded cables in the next building to fail.
Looking for an answer to this.
Looking at the photo it looks like the fire fire start at the melted cables on the right!
People need to understand the load their mining machines require and if their electrical systems can handle it!
Re: Nearly burned down my home due to mining farm (tips on how to stay safe )
Fires are not cause by the mining machines themselves, they're usually caused by non-electrically trained people overloading the electrical capacity of their cables, or people not maintaining their equipment and cleaning the dust out of it.
Re: Bitminter bitcoin mining pool - Pays TxFees, Merged Mining, Fair PPLNS rewards
Did you change the IP address? Having problems reaching mint.bitminter.com and www.bitminter.com.
I might have to reboot my router again (I think my ISP might be slowing down my connection or something). 2824ms ping!

Try putting something on the 5v line like a fan or an old floppy disk drive.
I've got a Thermaltake PSU that will keep shutting down unless I do this and it's a well know issue when running without a motherboard!

Socket connect failed: Connection refused"
I guess something happened my end then. Maybe my Internet router playing up or the network cable fell out. I'll have to investigate more.

Did you make any firewall changes?
The connection refused is not coming from the Bitminter server.
No changes my end. Just rebooted the router and it's working again. Must just been running so long it's ran out of memory or something.
Thanks for the reply.

Anyone having problems with Bitminter?
Website is fine and I can ping mint.bitminter.com but my miners are not getting any work.

Everything looks fine on this end. Are you unable to connect to stratum on port 3333?
Has been working fine for nearly a year then just died.
I just checked my CGMiner logs and got this
