Just got back from array.
now have
4 pc's with gpus in buysolars basement
3000 sols for zec say 1300 watts
2 ⅓ s-9s
½ r4
3 721 avalons
53th for btc say 6100 watts
I get ½ the coins and free power
So
0.173 btc a month for the zec
0.357 btc a month for the btc mining
0.530 btc a month for the array my share after all cost
0.760 btc a month for in home zec before power which is maybe
0.600 btc a month after power.
1.130 btc a month net = really good.
all mobos paid
all psus paid
all wires paid
all asics paid
maybe 3000 worth of the gpus not paid.
I have to look at records , but I think as of today I am at my all time best position ever in the cryptoworld.

Yeah, I am in the Bay area cali... quite a swing of issues to deal with each season... Especially being in the cuts like I am. Indoors sometimes it seems like it probably is dustier in my house than it is in phillip's shed... lol
for the avalon and antminer style miners, I highly suggest heat/insulated ducting for the exhaust portion.
Not only does it reduce the whine/howl, but it allows you to precisely control the airflow from it. I just used the aluminum air duct tape to seal it to the end of the miner's fan. It worked like a champ. Not only that, but if you got an air filter for a big diesel engine; you could have an easy to clean/change filter on the air inlet as well.
The ducting cost was worth the investment in my opinion. I was able to route the exhaust to an outdoor vent directly, and run an antminer in a closed space smaller than a closet without temp problems.

My first 10 x Antminers S5 and S7s was "hosted" at home and it was a nightmare - neighbors complaining about the the "jet" noise.
I tried the exhaust method, and later a "sound box" and it somewhat worked but still with 10 miners, the S7s were still heard "humming" even from a distance...
Now, my group's S9s and A7s are hosted in 2 x hosting data centres in Labrador, Canada where its bitterly cold 6 months in a year.
For my current GPU farm, I have plenty of room for exhaust.. will post pictures later.

Hi guys hoping to get some feedback on my room plan:
https://i.gyazo.com/d73e124bf0a2ce32e0198c927a095e8f.png
#1 is my current plan: pull cold air in from the window and push them over rigs with fans behind each rig, then pull hot air out from the front of the rigs and use an exhaust fan in the ceiling to collect hot air and exhaust it out of the roof. This should be sufficient cooling for about the ~105 GPUs I can fit on that shelving unit
HOWEVER! I would like to leave open the possibility of expanding in the future without having to move the exhaust fan's ceiling location. So I was wondering if #2 would work if I double my size. As you can see I'd be using fans on the ground to push the incoming air up at all the rigs but I'm unsure if that 15 ft (4.5m) is too much distance to hope to carry the air.
Fwiw, I'm dealing with 75-85 Fahrenheit (24-29c) ambient temps
Any thoughts would be appreciated!

15 feet seems a long way for that window fan to push especially with a roof fan drawing from it also, kinda like short circuiting it. maybe runs some ducts from the window fan to the shelfs.

Getting this as efficient as you can is HVAC math. I'm good enough at HVAC to be dangerous, but I do my own work and haven't ever screwed anything up majorly. Your most limiting factor is probably input and exhaust air volume of the room based on the opening sizes. I'd calculate that first and then the fans you have pushing the air over the rigs may be an issue or a bonus, but if those are portable, easy to cope later. You want input and exhaust as far away from each other in the room as possible. Ideally you also input from near or in the floor and exhaust from the ceiling or very near as well. Guessing is why most home cooling systems are inefficient, almost nobody nobody does the math, they just slam in a too big or too small system and cash the checks.
What type of fans are you going to use for input and exhaust?
My room is about 17x12 ft.
My window is 54x34 in and I was going to mount one of these 3150 cfm fans in the window (next to the screen) for pushing air in: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Ventamatic-20-in-High-Velocity-Floor-Fan-HVFF-20UPS/202795625
And this 5000 cfm fan for air exhaust in the ceiling.: http://www.homedepot.com/p/iLIVING-5000-CFM-Power-30-in-Single-Speed-Shutter-Exhaust-Fan-ILG8SF30S/207174738
I just learned its supposed to be a 2 to 1 exhaust:intake ratio so maybe I should find a slightly less powerful fan for air intake?
The fans I am planning to use behind each rig is the 550 cfm version of this fan, easily portable so yeah I can cope with issues pretty easily: http://orionfans.com/products/dc-fans/item/od254.html
In the front of each rig I was going to put a line of 5 x 180 cfm fans where the GPUs end
I didn't know the exhaust should be far away from the intake as possible. I thought I could put the shelving unit right by the window (close to the cold air) and use tarps to control the hot air side and try to exhaust it immediately right there.
Appreciate any advice!
the intake fan has 3 speeds so set it on medium or low.
I suggest making hot air guides with this
https://www.amazon.com/s?marketplaceID=ATVPDKIKX0DER&me=A33WZPZ4QHXNRF&merchant=A33WZPZ4QHXNRF&redirect=true
https://www.amazon.com/Car-Insulation-Deadener-Automotive-Lightweight/dp/B016QUS1YE/ref=sr_1_1?
many sizes.
it will cut down noise
it will keep hot air contained
it is fire resistant
easy to use
a good scissor
a staple gun
some metal tape
https://www.amazon.com/Homemory-Aluminum-Inches-Yards-Furnace/dp/B01M7S4APP/ref=sr_1_2?
build this hot air/heat/sound guide for under 200
I use it in my solar array

Thoughts on this Mobo/cpu for a six card 1080TI ZEC rig?
I have one of these; they can do 6x cards if you change 2 settings in the bios. see: http://www.biostar.com.tw/app/en/support/faq_content.php?S_ID=768
That deal is slightly expensive for a celeron cpu. I use a G4400: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819117625 with my TB250
Alternatively you can use this mobo for 6x Nvidia rigs: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130993
or this one: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813132939
I don't mind paying a bit extra since Newegg charge too much for shipping to my Country.
Cryptomined ship out of China which should be cheaper for me. Also I can buy all the risers etc at the same time.
Thanks for the info fullzero...I want to run your OS on this build

You could probably get better temps using a duct to get the cold air as low as possible. That way cold air would be pulled up through the rigs and out the top exhaust. You could also split the ducts and have two cold air ports, one for each shelving unit. Just make sure you have more exhaust than intake, you don't want to positive pressure the room as this might disrupt the airflow. Also might want to suggest brillow pads on the intake just for light dust,debris filtration.
Ok great suggestion, thank you!

Maybe something for the Christmas wish list ... months away ... Nvidia announce Volta, their answer to Vega:
http://www.pcworld.com/article/3196026/components-graphics/nvidias-monstrous-volta-gpu-appears-packed-with-21-billion-transistors-and-5120-cores.html
spring 2018 for the 2080 ti version save for it
Volta is not the answer to vega
Volta is a tesla card
Tesla cards are meant for servers
The price of a tesla card is stupid
the 1080 ti was based on a tesla
the 2080 ti will be based on a telsa the volta so may next year the 2080 ti will come out and be a big step up.
mean while I am getting my garage ready for june rate increase and heat increase that comes each summer.
I am using 4.9 x 240 = 1176 watts at the 240 volt pdu and 650 watts at the 120 volt kill-a-watt meter a total of 1826 watts
I am getting 7200 sol of ZEC
I am getting 100 kh of xmr some of the cpus are running it.
I am getting 8 mh of x11 some tiny little asic usb drive unit
about 45-50 a day at nicehash
at 10 cent a k-watt power cost is 4.33 a day
in summer at 20 cent power cost is 8.33 a day.
I am also running 70gh of sidehack sticks which is a few more pennies a day income.
A 1826 watt in the summer is a bit too high for the garage I will be looking to alter layout just a bit more.
dropping
one 1080 500
two 1070's 800
one 1060 300
total sol = 1600
adding 2 more 1080 ti's
total sol of 1300
so 300 less sol 1 less rig 2 less cards save maybe 120 watts
My home setup
1x Intel Core i7 3770K Boxed
1x MSI Big Bang MPower Z77
1x Sapphire R9 290 4GB GDDR5 OC TRI-X
This is my setup, now i have opened an account at https://multibit.org/ and want to start mining for a time!
Ofcourse at the beginning it will not be the most avordable thing but with more and more GPU's etcetc hopefully better!!!

You can buy those and make ROI before than vega will be available
Aren't they going out like in a week ?
In a most optimistic scenario they will be announced at Computex and will be available a few weeks after that.
