I almost bought some at 8k, gonna wait a few more days

Nope, never planned to use AC units to cool the miners, electricity cost is a bit high in our country. 

Thanks for the info.

Yeah corrosion all over, I think he said the owner placed the miner in front of an air conditioning unit or something. So what's the likely cause of those corrosion? High humidity in the area? and or the rapid heating and cooling cycle of the components?

I'll be purchasing some asic miners soon, I hope to minimize/avoid these types of problems. Thanks.

I came across a video of Louis Rossman attempting to fix an antminer d3, looks like Bitmain use low quality components? anyway disassembly of unit starts around 9:00 minute mark

unfortunately so. well, back to waiting for newer ASICs then.

so I managed to add 4 units on my cart then suddenly on the checkout page it says "people are queuing, please try again later", stuck on that page atm  

Great review as always, thanks and keep it up!

I've just come across this lottoland.ie a few days ago, seems legit. Might try my luck and hope for the best lol
