When I stand behind the 42u rack with 12 s7's in it it feels like a furnace. Four 30 amp circuits, 3 s7's per circuit, datacenter only allows 21.6 amps to be used for each circuit.
hmmm.... 3s7's are only about 16 amps.
4 is less then 22amps
at 80% is 24 amps.. find another datacenter
$1000 per rack all inclusive 2 miles from my house. I think I'll stay.
Only $750 after tax deduction.

any word on batch2 or batch3 being shipped..
also, any word on a new batch??
make it NOV 4 (as it is 31 days in Oct); I presume that they are in 'testing' already.

Yea, nothing more fun than making the HVAC guy deaf while he's working on the furnace!
Why do you need a furnace? You have miners for heat.
36 degrees F. outside last night with 2 windows open to allow fresh air in ( I have 5 farting dogs ... kinda need fresh air ).... with the miners running, it was a nice 79 degrees F. in the house.
Yea that's a good point, I have to see if I have a return duct in my basement so I can push that air through the house.

Does anybody know of any decent data center for miners in Southern California?
I have no clue where to look for a data center ( with the exception to a multi-level underground nuclear hardened facility out in Iowa ).... what questions to ask.... what to watch out for.... etc.
I would think that data centers would not like to have average joe schmos putting their equipment in their centers that have large corporations and what not hosted there.... just out of security sake.
great north data is really pretty good

Canada Based. My next order from bitmaintech and or avalon will be going to his place
I tried to send 20 S5s to Great North Data back during the summer but they would not take anything less than 30KW per order. I only had 12KW; I was so disappointed!
if anyone is in the philadelphia area.. I can host antminers... I just sold 100 S3's and my racks are sitting there with PSU and network cable ready to go!!
edit: before
after
and for posterity, here is when we all had S1's

Carl,
I'm very sorry, but I've been talking to my business partners and they would like me to only sign contracts for at least 30kW. So I'm afraid we cannot take your machines. Sorry if I have wasted your time, this was only decided today. I could probably offer a slightly better rate if you were able to get to 30kW in demand.

I have found a solution to soundproof.
Home Depot sells hvac venting about one hundred bucks will do three or four units.
I will post photos

Awesome! Curious as well, if it works well I just might order some S7-lite's (if they create less noise/dB) to have at home.
The regular S7 is just too loud to have in an apartment.
You definitely need 2 floors between you and the miner. Mine's in the basement...the back room of the basement and I can hear it all over my first floor, but not on the second floor.
I have my miner rack in the basement... 4 Antminer S2's and 2 Antminer S5's, plus a few Dell servers and whatnot, I do not hear them upstairs except through the intake HVAC ductwork on that leg of the system which is only the kitchen. ( I have the ductwork - 16" x 10" - wide open above the miners to recirculate the heat from the miners throughout the house, therefore it grabs some of the fan noise).
It all depends on the material used in your house. My house was built with quality materials from the late 50's.
I discovered the best sound proofing set-up ever devised about 10 months ago. I get 0 decibels with this system. I have all of my miners hosted at data centers. The fees are less than my electrical costs, there is no heat build-up to deal with, and no matter how hard I try I can't hear a peep out of my S7s! I also have full control just like I did when I ran my S5s in my garage.

EDIT: Usually whenever I post things like this I hear a gasp, all heads spin towards me, and then silence. It's like I'm an alien offering a hover car and everyone is thinking "how do I use a hover car on our existing road infrastructure...and he's an alien!"
I really think you should get an IP ready MIC set up by your miner(s) at the data center. Then you can live-stream some of that noise once in a while.
Otherwise you're just missing out on that element of the entire experience.

Toomim Bros in Moses Lake, Washington has an excellent reputation in the Bitcoin mining arena and he did not hesitate to take my 4 S7s. I think some there are some that have as few as 1 machine. I have seen him at 100% capacity before and not accepting any new machines and he is at about 92% right now. http://toom.im/ or email Jonathan at [email protected]. He has a really interesting video that demonstrates his cooling system on the main page.
They allow you to control your miners through a simple port forward that is tied to your IP address (only your one PC can access) or a two-factor SSL tunnel. I started out using the port forwarding and it serves my purpose quite well. The electrical costs work out to $0.11/kWh if you go with the 1 year contract. My electricity is currently $0.13.
For those looking to have your miners hosted, get out of the mindset that it has to be in your region. My first experience with hosting my machines in a data center was the Lee Group data center in China and it worked great.

Batch 3 has been shipping. Mine went online last night.

you have to look for bitcoin mining centers, not data centers. datacenters are going nuts about uptime (99.99%) while it is typically less relevant for bitcoin (98-99%-OK).

I would advise to look outside of cali since electricity prices there are very high.

You can find users on this forum that offer hosting. You'll have to look through the service thread and see one located where you want. Its often better to ship them to where the miners already are when you buy them and ship them to you then ship them there.
I'd watch out for scams, of course.
