I want to connect my rigs output to my AC output. But when I start the AC the air get out by the rigs output?
I need a big cfm to counter that ? someone good in thermo dynamic
(I did a small paint to show what I mean)

I went to RONA (home depot) and found some nice stuff but I got a problem.

I'm not 100% certain the exact brand I bought and all that, but a quick search found this:
http://www.amazon.com/VenTech-DF6-Duct-Fan-240/dp/B005KMTYFK/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1432062301&sr=8-3&keywords=in+line+duct+fan
I then went to Home Depot and bought something very similar to this 6" exhaust and installed it in the wall of my house to exhaust the heat outside: http://www.amazon.com/Broan-634M-Roof-Black-Round/dp/B0013G31B0/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1432062379&sr=8-4&keywords=6%22+duct+exhaust
Then you just need some 6" ducting... Pretty simple setup and it does a decent job. Sticking them out a window also works great.

Yeah I will also like to see the piece you bought.
Since 7h is pretty long for 100$ I may go to home depot.

One of the things I had to do to achieve a slightly better temperature was putting it vertical, too. Though mine is inverted. Fan is pointing down. Go figure 
OgNasty, I am interested in doing something somewhat close to what you wrote. Can you please post a picture your rig? Thanks

I built something very similar with parts from Home Depot and an in-line duct fan I got from amazon.com. The whole thing cost under $100. One thing to be aware of though, if you are blowing air out, it has to be coming in from somewhere as well. A good cool air intake system is very important or else you may end up heating the rest of your house just as much as you are cooling your mining area.
Looks very impressive! How many hours of printing is it for that?
Please take pictures after I think I will be blown away, that is a very awesome idea to get 4 miners into one exhaust tube.
Around 7h per piece so around 28hours. Problem right now is one of my motor die on my 3D printer.
Will have to buy a new one before finishing it.
I will post picture when done.
Im currently 3d printing these thing to see if I can blow away the hot air.
Let me know what you think about it.
4 X 120mm fan to a 100mm tube.

You could do or get soem Y shape unit thats 2 to 1 ratio like 2 into 1 blowing hot air out you could channel it into a septate room in house or into the bathroom and have it as a open air dry room do a nice 2 in one use heat to dry other stuff or to get rid full Y shape heat protected piping that vents outside.

I would look to moving them other way round sit on the sides on ant miners and have a push pull config on the fans, install another fan on the opposite end. Silent or delta like currently on. Maybe look to getting a bigger unit to house the mining equipment in as that is one tight space for all that equipment to be on.
Right now I will test the vertical way.
And I cant move them away since this is the only place I have right now. Will probably look to shut down 1 or 2 S3.
Will see...
I would look to maybe re ordering the units on it. Is just a matter of getting positions the right way and to see what works best on it. Maybe have the unit located in a different position of the room or is this the only location that is free within the room. Maybe get some fans in and channel the air around the room too.

Right now the S5 is 1 degre lower in vertical position.
Im wondering if adding 2 side panel could help the temp.
I got 2 delta fan to reduce the sound.

Far cleaner looking setup in the vertical configuration. The hood for evacuating the heat is a good idea, too.
Thanks
So far the temps seems similar. But cant confirm since the temp outside seems to be a little bit higher.
Will see with the hood if the temp drop.
How is the S5 doing with heat with vertical setup? I'm surprised it's not noticeably hotter.

Yeah I will go to a home depot or something like that. Wondering if I will find. If you find something let me know.
Something like 6 foot X 12 foot

Ive been thinking as far as "cheapest" way to achieve that. I'm sure you looked and whole house units would be perfect but pricy.
Go to a hardware store ad find a shroud that you like the size of. Find out how many inches the duct work is. With that you can buy a inline fan.
So it would go Shourd - A little duct work - inline fan - a little duct work. The inline fan would be pulling air in and then pushing it through rest of duct work.

A decent amount of whole house fans have that shape. But they get pretty pricy.
I would guess going to hardware store to get shroud and finding a good fan to put it around will be a lot cheaper then those.

Im looking to find something like that on the top of it to blow they hot air away
Any idea where I can find this ?
