Just wanted to give you a thumbs up !
Our long term plans and intentions are very similar, whats even more similar is that I am at 4 and half rig too

photo your stove plug post it.
also tell us your circuit beaker size for the stove.
I will give you links
Thanks. Planning to start with dryer outlet. Then stovexlater if/when I run out of watt capacity.
Stove- 40A:
Dryer- 20A:
Would like to go from these to a to a bunch of NEMA 5-15. I'm using off the shelf HomeKit smart plugs to monitor energy usage and switch things on and off. (They are rated at 240V). But that's not a requirement.
you could buy these right now
http://www.ebay.com/itm/LOT-of-2-Dell-0TP065-Switched-Rack-PDU-Power-Distribution-Units-/122322455260?
the plugs come off with a screwdriver .
they are a great price. 35 for the 2
I still need to find you replacement plugs that match the outlets.
home depot or lowes should have them
Hello philipma1957: I found your advice quite interesting. I plan to run couple of 6X RX 580 rigs at home and have access to one "NEMA type 10-30R" 220V dryer outlet. Do you think I can use it to power two rigs, each drawing 1000-1200 Watts?
Let me know, if you need more info to answer my question.
Thanks!
If that dryer plug is on a 30 amp circuit (sounds like it is based on that outlet being 10-30R) you would have 7200 watts on that line, with the safety rule of 80% that gives you 5760 watts to use. If you get a PDU to fit that outlet you could have up to 5 rigs running at 1000+ watts each.

Do you know where can I buy risers in Europe, even better southern Europe? And also does @Finksy send his PSU to this part of Europe and how much will that be? Or is there someone similar to him who sells similar PSU's?
risers from EU: https://mineshop.eu/cables
good quality, quick shipment.....

Has anyone tried the 1PCIE to 3PCIE card? With this card - do you still run into a max of 6 or 7 gpus per motherboard?
June 09, 2017, 12:49:41 PM
So much great information! I just wish I could scale up fast enough. I only have 4 1/2 machines (one with 3 gpus), and I so badly want to scale up, but of course it all boils down to money. And getting parts!? I can't find any video cards, ug! There's so much money to be made, it's crazy.
You guys have some ridiculous setups!!! I really appreciate this thread, because I really don't want to learn mistakes the hard way.
As someone just trying to get up and running, I have to take the cheapest route possible until I can afford racks, etc. What are some of my best options? Of course, video cards are a little expensive, but on average what do you guys spend on parts for one machine - minus gpus?
I'll have about 12K to spend fairly soon, and I really want to stretch my money as far as I can without buying shit parts that will cause me more headache in the long run. I know 12K to some of you isn't that much, but it's a huge step for me. And now seeing this thread, I know I spent way too much on my first 4 1/2 machines.
I'm in it for the long haul for several reasons.
- I believe, truly believe in decentralized currency. I'm a libertarian (and veteran) and to me it's vitally important that currencies are decentralized.
- I want to use this as springboard to bigger and better things such as possibly creating a cryptocurrency that is for the betterment of mankind. I'm a realist and an idealist. The world is not in a good place and it's easy to blame people, it's harder to take responsibility for the world being the way it is. I share in that responsibility and I share in fault. It's time I did something about it.
- I'm a geek at heart, I always have been. I love tech.
- I want to be part of the movement. I am all in, which means I need a long term exit plan for my current full time job. To me, mining is just the beginning. There's so much more to it. The possibilities are really endless.
There are lots of other reasons, but these are among my top.
At any rate, I'm new to the community, but I'm not going anywhere and any advice would be helpful. Cheap motherboards, memory, video cards, advice, great websites, etc. anything to keep it on the cheap. I'm trying to scale up as quick as I can, and I know I'm spending more than I should be.
Thanks in advance...

It depends on your local laws and how robust the city power grid is in many cases. We live out in the country so we have quite a bit more freedom with things like that. If everything stays this good for mining we may consider adding another 200 amp service in the barn next year or maybe the year after. I'd really like to put solar panels in, but that takes a hefty chunk of change up front.
June 08, 2017, 05:29:02 PM
How are people able to get more electricity than what the state allows? I am in Florida and was informed I can only get 200 Amp to the house .
Residential areas often have different rates and service than commercial tiers. June 08, 2017, 05:24:30 PM

Does anyone know how far away an ethernet cable needs to be from a power line in order to not have interference? There is a power line running across our driveway from the house to barn that provides a 100 Amp service in that building. We are going to run an exterior grade ethernet line out there from the house in order to have internet in our recently renovated mining room (former tool and work room). I know we can't just wrap around the power lines, and have galvanized steel cable being picked up today to stretch the ethernet line across the driveway.... how far away does the ethernet need to be from the power line? I'm guessing a foot would be plenty, but I don't know for sure so I'm asking for input from anyone with experience doing something similar.
It's this Cat5 line, since it's shielded I believe it could even be within a few inches of the power line? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001B6C5H8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Yes, even just a few inches away will be fine. The CAT5 for my internet that goes from the street to my house (overhead service) for the 200A service is strung right along with the power lines. The maximum distance they are apart is at the middle of the run and that puts maybe 6" between the two.

Hello Yun,
First, huge thanks for these 2 part. I read a lot, bought a 42U, 2x Rosewill case.
I read that you use fixed rails instead of Rosewill rails. That make sense. I can't find fixed rails in Canada. Is it only some brackets? Can you give me an example? Also, I understand that you leave 1U of space between them.
Finally, I found someone selling the GPU rack for the Rosewill case. Any other option? I will contact him, but the cost of shipping to Canada will be a show stopper I guess.
Huge thanks!

yun i love reading in here and seeing you help people out and also looking at the progress this has been doing one of these days i will feel a 100th of the power you guys are proully getting
@yun9999 what kind of 42u server rack cabinet are you using ? Is it this one StarTech.com Open Frame Server Rack Cabinet 4POSTRACK42 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HVKOPBW/ ?
Any standard 42U Server Rack will work. Not AV Rack, server racks. I have both Dell and HP Racks. The rack you're showing seem very weak with little support on the side, most likely best used for lighter AV equipment then servers.

MY FARM SETUP
I have been mining for a very long time. Most of you would know me as Nhan Do from my old Nick that was Hacked, hence why I'm using this new Nick. I have been thru the many ups and downs of Crypto as well as hundreds of designs and layouts. What I learned from my experience / ]mistakes, is that it's always best to keep things SIMPLE, EFFICIENT and use Quality components and only buy / support reputable vendors / brands. I want to have this thread so that many other readers can hopefully learn from my many mistakes and have a better start / experience then I did when I started.

SEXIEST Mining GearsI do lots of Product reviews in my thread and I get ZERO $ kickbacks from those Vendors or resellers. However, no one understands other miners better than miners themselves, so support our community.
For Risers / Fans - I would recommend reaching out to Hawkfish007
For Server PSU / Fans - I would recommend reaching out to Finksy
For the Most kick ass Mining OS and Rig resetting Automation - Reach out to Tytanick and www.simplemining.net
