If the above is too complicated for you, you could also install teamviewer on a laptop on that network. That way you can always teamviewer in and control the units as if you were at home.

Involves configuring a port on that network router for the S3 like 192.168.1.4 (s3) address then some cusotm port 88 or something then to access from another place goto that routers real IP address:88, A static Ip address for that network would make it alot simpler. But you can use a dynamic IP as well as long as you know what that IP changes to when it changes
Google  "run a server from my home PC"  the same networking technique can be applied to the antminers I do mine this way and control them from anywhere.

You could also use a service like http://freedns.no-ip.com/ and get a free ddns.net domain name point it to that routers real IP

then setup port forwarding inside your router add a different port for each mine


then you can either access it via the ddns domain name or by entering the IP address followed by port number
(ipaddresss):81

Just make sure you setup a strong login so a port scan attack doesnt reveal the ports and someone logs in and takes over your miner. Changing the pool payout and password would be very bad.
Which is why i wont share my DDNS address publically or otherwise I would just be asking to get port scanned and a brute force attack might allow someone to crack my logins Not sure how secure the antminers ssh login system is yet, have not seen any thread about it

It looks to be exactly the same fan, so it then depends on what your definition of 'silent' is. To me they're as quiet as ambient, but its personal opinion.

Yes first cpl days had to burn the chinese stink off of it The C1 eminated a plastic tubing smell for a cpl days.
The fan speeds are fine. Run alot slower than mine but I live in florida and my ambient room temp is 74 F now and runs 78F in the summer

My S3's run anywhere from 42-45C and my fans run 2100-2600

They are as loud as my desktop running full throttle, but not as loud as a vacuum cleaner

what are your fans speeds?

Lower the room temp the fans wont run as fast there by will run quieter.
Make sure the miners are clean 4mos of running and i had to blow out the dust bunnies they were driving temps up.

I drool over this idea http://www.grcooling.com/ they would be silent

I wonder if anyone has tried to submerse a antminer yet

The C1 is liquid cooled its a bit quieter. But the above link man that would be sooo sweet

The S3 is relatively quiet compared to most miners. Because of that there hasn't been much work done in silencing them, and most things you do to interfere with the fans will just make the other one spin faster.

Multipool was closed because there was low mining support

Warranty replacement

Early life failure = RMA costs + downtime costs + replacement costs + buying a suitable PSU in the future costs.

Pretty low, but then again a PSU is an investment which holds its resale value well. Not choosing a suitable PSU will likely hurt you later.
