I'm planning to build a small green data center (open source, based on opencompute.org project), powered entirely by a small-hydro within the property, in a huge farm in Brazil... So, no more electric bills on this site.

(...)

The business plan draft is my hands! I only need the initial investment to buy the land and the small-hydro... I'm sure I'll be able to do that!

Nice plan. I'm thinking about doing something like this on Argentina. But with wind energy instead of hydro...

Good luck!

Sure! Wind turbines is a great solution too! I'll have some of it, I like MagLev Wind Turbine design... Or even developing a open source wind turbine, also sell DIY kits, etc, using funds from the project itself... My small-hydro will be entirely open sourced, not only the Data Center project... Wink

Los hermanos must help each other! Let's do some business... Grin

Of course. I'll send you a PM. Wink

Ah, I'm paying $.07/KWH so I'm not quite at the stage of having FPGAs/BFLs being cost effective. The only reason I would want one, is because my house is quite hot, and I can't mine because of it. My house hits 90 degrees pretty frequently, and is at 86-88 at all times, so I don't want to add the extra heat. If I found a good deal on a lot of mining equipment, Id probably rent a building just to run them.

I think that just rent another place for me, isn't enough...

I think at these temperatures your single will be overheating and start to throttle. I don't own one but someone from BFL mentioned optimal temperature in which Singles should operate without throttling is 72F / 22C.

Jesus, how do you sleep? Before I had AC I'd run to the basement when it hit 75F.

Ceiling fan, I did mention I have central AC correct? It just still gets hot as hell.

also 2 months of extra mining from not having to wait, I made that worth $140 here in Spain with $0.235/kWh, so about $600 + $150 = $750 + it's fun/educational so add $25 for that, I was all set to bid at 156 BTC or just over, lets have more of these pse Tongue
