i would not have them blowing toward a wall or whatever, this is just going to create heat around the chips and cause them t run badly, hot and fans at full capacity, If you have any loved ones they will kill you.
Better to have them blowing out the way and in-taking air from the wall, which can act as i giant heat sink if cold enough
it does look slightly hazardous, many it's just the wires give that impression. Ever heard of a cable tie? You generally get a bag in the box with your PSU.
@Cyper: unlucky dude, glad you got it fixed! i think the stock is more like 370 - 380 on these miners.

Interesting thing - the latest 1.9BTC miner I received has 29080 kB RAM , the earlier units report 61568 kB
is it hashing normally...will have to check them if and when I get mine.Yep, hashing at 203.x - 204 Gh/s avg.

don't take me too literally. from the pics it looks like a fire waiting to happen but its probably just messy cabling. don't like the look of all the extension cables though! you might want to check how many watts you are pulling from each wall socket. i wouldnt be surprised if they werent overloaded.
Its just all the pare ATX cables all over the place, gonna move in the morning and use the in built wifi and just place all round my house until my data unit is build tomorrow
Cheers for the advice folks

Get ready to see my crazy wires and rig ahaha
Hope you have good insurance and a fire extinguisher handy :-)
exactly what i was thinking
How do you suggest I tide cable, via cable ties ? I run 2x PSU per Antminer have total of 5 ants - 3 cubes and 6 blades
9* 600w
1* 1000w
total = 6400w in power supplys - need to check what its pulling

I thought about setting up a bridge between router and building but need to find a good access point any ideas ?
Use directional antennas and you should be able to setup a bridge with almost any COTS hardware.
Having issues via the wireless as they crash my AC Wi-Fi Channels - currently going to setup an old laptop and bridge the wifi connection between the laptop and the Ethernet port. Then connect to the main switch from there, means I can also run my stratum proxy from the hosted unit as well so I can finally shut down my computer after 4 months of being on 24/7

Quick shipment. I have never ordered anything from China and arrive so fast. I ordered on Wednesday night 1/22/14 and it arrived today in California on Monday 1/27/14. I am hashing away!
thanks Bitmain!

You think will catch fire ? there is good breeze and cold air. I really want to move rig to more space and room. I bought some WIFI extenders but they are a lump of **** How do you suppose I get ethernet about 20m from my home to my out door venue without running a cable ? or power line addaptors, I thought about setting up a bridge between router and building but need to find a good access point any ideas ?

as i wrote prior, i use 2 x corsair vs650 for 1 miner , 1 is not enough , crappy psu's i guess
Sorry, but you are wrong.
The PSU has 552W of DC power and the miner uses 300-320W at stock settings.
I think the problem was with the extension cable - the copper lines inside are just too thin.
I have now connected both blades of the miner to the same PCI-E cable coming from the PSU and it's running fine. I insulated the charred data cable with some electrical tape and it actually works.
I was standing next to it for 20 minutes measuring the cable temperature at different points and while it is a little hot, it is OK. Obviously I would prefer to use separate cables, but CX600M has only one PCI-E with 2 branches.
My idea was to use the 8 pin CPU cable, but these extensions seems to be of very cheap quality or maybe I connected them wrong.
Am I supposed to connect 2 yellow cables (12V) at the same hole on the yellow connector on the blade?
