I need some quiet fans that would have enough airflow for the S5.

Although power is free for you for some reason, buying a good PSU gold rated and above is important, you don't wanna fry or burn your S5 miner in less then a month.

Seasonic 760watt PSU is a good choice, you can choose either platinum grade or gold grade.
Ok I will try to go for at least silver+
Also is it good to buy a bigger PSU and then run 2 miners on it?

Edit:  e.g.  http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00COIZTZM/?tag=pcpapi-20 (1300W)  OR  http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00K85X2AW/?tag=pcpapi-20 (650W)

You can buy 1300watt and run 2 miners with it, but I prefer 1 PSU per miner as it is cheaper and usually the psu last longer.

Note: Also I dont know if anybody have this experience but warranty for smaller PSU tends to be much faster as they have lots of stocks. And for big psu like 1300 watt and above, sometimes I have to wait like 2 months!!!

Thanks for the heads up.  Im going with 10 of these:  http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K85X2AW/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A1CPWE4BUHBCWE

I am making a bitcoin (BTC) mining farm with 10 ANTMINER S5's.
https://bitmaintech.com/productDetail.htm?pid=000201412...

IMPORTANT: I don't have to pay for power so efficiency doesn't matter.

Specifications
Hash Rate: 1155 GH/s ±5%
Power Consumption: 590 W (at the wall)
Power Efficiency: 0.51 J/GH (at the wall)
Rated Voltage: 12V
Dimensions: 298 mm x 137 mm x 155 mm
Cooling: 1x 12038 fan
Operating Conditions: 0 °C to 35 °C

Notes
PSU: A power supply unit is not included, and you will need to provide an ATX PSU. There are 4 PCI-e connectors for +12V DC input and all four are required. Do not connect more than one PSU to the same hashing board.

I am going to be running these 24/7

I am getting a Miner that is 10TH/s.  I am going to be putting it in my grandpa's hangar where there isn't any Electricity bills.  I need a internet connection there so I was thinking of getting a 4G router instead of a traditional internet connection, since I don't want any data overages I need to get the right data plan.  So how much would it use?


Also is this a trusted site?:  https://www.minerslab.com/product/smart-miner-2-se-10ths-rack-mount-bitcoin-miner/


Minerslab is definite Scam site.  See

Thanks.  I'm just going to get some ANTMiners from BITMAIN then.

re: the subject line
There's some decent threads over on reddit about the bandwidth use of a full node, example:
http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/29t5eu/graph_bandwidth_usage_for_1_month_of_hosting_a/
I was thinking about getting this:  http://www.tp-link.us/products/details/?categoryid=218&model=TL-MR3420#spec
and then using a cheap data plan from metropcs.  Since they have unlimited data I wouldn't go over, but would it be too slow after throttling?

Hold on a second, I'm pulling up my specs right now...

EDIT:
Alright, it looks like with my setup I'd do under 3GB per month. It's only pulling 1KB/s at max. You could mine on an old POTS dial-up line. It basically sends small texts back and forth. It's hardly any data. And when the stratum protocol came out, it made it even less.

And I've never heard of the website. I'm running some AntMiners.

Thanks for your input.

Also what miner would you recommend?  [Power draw doesn't matter]

I was thinking http://www.spondoolies-tech.com/products/sp35-yukon-power-shipping-from-stock or the previous one if the site turns up to be legit.
