this!

I haven't posted any rigs in a while, so I thought I would put them up for posterity.


16 s3's on 5' shelf powered by 4 dps2000  pulling 24amps on the PDU  clocked at 231.   getting about 465gh each





using sunbreak's adapters and 6g welding wire.




from the front:




and here are some of the spoons!!

Lets NOT get too far off topic.. this thread is for pics. (which I posted just upthread).

spondolies  sp20:   1220gh  @ 650watts   400$
butterflyL  monarch  260gh  @ 150watts   1300$

I am not that good at math but it doesn't appear to me that BFL is gona sell alot of them!!!

so here is the story about the bottom middle S2......

this is a batch2 s2.  (top 12 are batch 3 and not hashing up to spec)

on first boot of the S2, it would boot and try to mine and fail... and sit there.

1. I replaced the SD with a new image.

same thing.. boot, not mine.. reboot, nothing.

2. after banging head around for a while. I thought weak PSU.    put in a 1250 SS.  same issue.

3.  started pulling cards out.. first a couple. then a bunch

4  pulled all but one card out.  rebooted a couple of times and got it to mine on one card.

5.  after a while on the one card, i said what the hell and slipped another card in.. it started using the new card..  web UI doesn't show it, but hashrate confirms

6.  I slipped all the rest of the cards in and it mines....


after a power outage adding the top 12 S2's... btw, blew the transformer outside...  elec company had me up in 12 hours

I had to repeat the same steps to get this particular miner running..... do I want to rma, yes.. but do i want to turn off 950gh for 2 weeks doing so.. NO..  So this will be a hand held s2 on any power interruption.  

Here is the first rack of the new dc.

I like the first one... cause it is actually mining coins.....  unless of course you just want to make something look pretty?

nicely done!!

name another investment anywhere in the world with returns like that?

recoup in less then 6 months?   50% profit in less then a year?  seriously...

Maybe the forum code can be updated to regex out the proper tags on a quote?  that would be nice feature.

I haven't posted a pic in a while.. here are some of the ants running..

3 30amp breakers.

I'd like to see a pic of the back.. that is where the meat is.

most good PSUs wouldn't even turn the fan on for one antminer... at least mine dont... unless you pushing extra heat into it.. you could save a little power

May i suggest moving the psu away from the heat exhaust... let the ant breath a little!

NICE looking rig...try downvolting to get better kh/watt.   those cards will do 600kh @ 0.935v

since he said, yes, i would venture......yes

I have a bunch of 7970....  the hot air is blown out the front of the card.. but it looks like your fans are pushing the hot air back into the rigs..  turn them all around?

5 slots, 69bucks  http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128521
today only

Why would you spend so much for a custom heatsink? when you could have just gotten the 7970?

This whole rig only pulls about 1000 watts

clock:  1080/930/1.062v  (cgminer will not show proper voltage)

I am also getting 4 SC (first batch).  My thought is to spread the 4 out lest one of the rigs go down I wont 240Gh in one swoop.

Later on I wont mind, but in the beginning every hour will count.

This rig and miner17 (built together as a 10card, 2mobo, 3psu set up)  has been running since feb.  Many of my rigs have been running for 1.5 years.  all stock HSF, with plenty of fresh air and low clocks.
