I went to Rekt mining farm on last Thursday(Feb/8/2018) and my miner was sitting on the ground as I brought these few months ago. I noticed lots of wood parts were on the ground and he said his partner broke down all the wood structure that they built up. He showed me the another new facility photos on his phone that he will get in few weeks and he also said it has already equipped electricity, internet and cooling(air-conditioning) jobs. He told me that new facility only needs the wiring. So I decided to leave some of my miners and picked up some. He told me he needs another 2 weeks, so I will wait another 2 weeks and done. I don't know how it goes and will work.
Just like the saying goes. 
Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.
I'm also looking for a hosting facility and in the process of pulling out my Antminers from 1 due to poor service and I have still a handful that I purchased from Bitmain arriving on March so I am mildly freaking out.
After feeling this pain of hosting with a asic colocation provider, I decided that it would be best to just get a racks from a colocation site from a reputable data center that would provide the rack, power and cooling that I can personally access so I can set them up and maintain them on my own. Unfortunately the price was definitely expensive so the company gave me another option.
They have unused space in their data center that they can build out without all the fancy security (biometric), power with UPS, and other fancy technology that supports enterprise customers that requires PCI, HIPAA etc certification. He basically said it's going to be space with cheap cooling, power, racks with outlets, redundant internet access, and some security like a key card. Here is their initial offer and I am seeing if there are anyone interested partnering with me on this. I definitely don't need the all that power and space but my frustration on getting a reliable partner is making me explore this alternative.
Here is their initial offer.
400KW (Approximately 250 antminers)
$90/KW all in = $36,000 monthly
$250,000 approximate startup cost 120 day lead time
Dependent on credit status 2 months security deposit may be required.
This company has many data centers in the country but generally don't cater to asic and/or gpu mining but they are willing to do this for one of their data centers in Virginia since they have unused space. They mainly cater to enterprise customers so we are not dealing with some mom and pop setting up a data center. I can setup a tour of the facility as soon as next week and we can drive or fly to see the space, talk to their management, and collectively figure out as a group if we want to do it and the legal/financial structure. If we have a 3 year contract with these guys we are looking at a monthly cost of each antminer of $172 a month that includes the 250K buildout fee ammortized for 3 years for each antminer. The 250K doesn't look that bad in 3 years. If you are interested, please email me at cryptojoelx@gmail.com. I am based in New Jersey but often travel to Virginia for work. Also need advise from my fellow miners if this is a better approach than trying to get these mom and pop data centers to host our antminers.
