My dog got his head stuck in the air intake rofl. It was so funny, but I thought he was going to break it.

Finally finished my custom cab and installed the exhaust.. the paint got a little chipped while moving it in. It looks like I'm growing weed lol. My dog got his head stuck in the air intake rofl. It was so funny, but I thought he was going to break it.

I live in a rental, so I'm afraid Geothermal is just not practical for me. 
I should be able to post pictures and explain how my ventilation works in a week or so! I think it will be pretty unique, I haven't seen anything like it on here.

You may have one of the more difficult environments to do cost effective environmental conditioning. Looking forward to it

Most American home has a nice backyard right? I'm not from America but dont see digging your own yard can be costly. Rent a tool and take a day to dig?
If space is not available you can use water-water exchangers and heat a pond, a pool or household hot water.

need a big back yard. my 3 1/2 ton geothermal system has 2000 feet of pipe buried 5 feet down in the back yard (horizontal loop). you could rent a back hoe to dig the trench if you want; we hired a contractor.
smaller yards without the room for that amount of pipe will need a well (1, maybe 2, possibly more) a few hundred feet deep (vertical loop). THAT you need a contractor for.
You want to know the most efficient way to cool a system? Use mother earth energy, .... thermal energy ( Use geothermal heat dump)
Geothermal has been around for many years and is efficient however expensive solution.
I like this little youtube video.
Geothermal solutions
LOL good job on searching.
Now start digging more. Its not that expensive if you're looking to cool thousands of watts for free.
I have already lead project installations using this method in the recent past. At that time they were for normal residential use and it was not cheep.
What I hope to see is what others bring to this show and tell... Ghetto style

Bitcoin project is global, and its mining participants are part of this global network. So it goes with out saying that not all seasons and environments are equal on a global scale.
With that said why not show an example of your setup? I am sure people that frequent the forum would like to see it.

This has been covered so many times( Back then when we still have ppl with knowledge like D&T)
Actually, what I am setting up has not been done before here on bitcointalk, I guarantee you that. So you to think that you're some expert on why or why not my setup will work or not is blasphemous.
I'm shocked when a terrible idea takes 2 pages on this forums.
Can you not read? I am not using OPs idea, for the 10th time.
I doubt that you could even explain to me how I plan to set up my system, so how can you say that it will not work?

It's not about the most efficient way for me, it is about the cheapest way. I have almost all of the equipment I'm going to use already laying around.

For one of my sites, (4400 watts GPU power = 13Gh/s) I use this barn fan.
(source link)
It is effective even in summer at maintaining the indoor ambient temperature range between 20-22 degrees Celsius.
This is true if ambient temps outside don't go over 30 Celsius.
Cooling cost usage is at 160-180 watts.
Moving / purging the heated air 3200 CFM alone is rather effective.
If you're simply using air, then remember .... lower volume = more air thro exchangers.
By volume, i mean the volume of the heatsource.

If your plan is to follow the idea of the OP, then you already fail. But i will let you learn the hard way.
Some of you guys must have failed physic terribly in grade school.
Sigh... I have to say it, you are a fucking retard.
Learn to read, god damn. No, I am not using OPs link.
How about you fucking read and pay attention before you start judging others blindly and open your mouth like an idiot.
Leave the conversation here to people who actually read what other people say, kthnx.
The only retard is you who somehow thought you have found a way to cool that 5500watts of yours from this thread.
Maybe you should fcking go to school first.
No problem.. I can be mr grumpy pants sometimes.
I will show you guys after I get it set up. I will certainly have a cooling system like no one on here has probably used before, so I understand you guys doubting its capabilities. I'll be cooling about 15000 watts by the time the project is completed, using water cooled air intakes and a couple exhaust fans to cool everything (hopefully less than 750 watts of ventilation/cooling if things go as planned.)
I'm still working out the specifics and don't even have all the necessary hardware, I'm probably about a month out from finishing the project. Hoping to reach about 25 Gh for all the hardware, which will be mining alt coins (LTC, etc).
This + my day job = busy month!

Wow harsh.... That type of attitude erodes any attempt to maintain the community spirit of sharing...
However with that said. The intent of the topic is to open up discussions on examples of what people are doing to deal with their environmental issues.
Since you are so outspoken about efficiency, why not share your setup with the community here? Pictures _ Diagrams

Meh. Have fun with that. What you're describing is is something that already exists in a more efficient form and is used all over the place in desert climates. Water cooled intakes = an evaporative cooler. If you use ice with it (like in the original post), you're just blending air conditioning with an evaporative cooler (and still takes a similar amount of power as AC).
I'm currently cooling 33,000 watts of GPUs while using 602 watts or less to cool them (evaporative coolers in the spring/summer, fans in the fall/winter). It doesn't get much more efficient than that.
...in other words, what was used in the original post is just "reinventing the wheel". It's a cheap way to make a horribly inefficient evaporative cooler and would work "in a pinch", but it wouldn't work very well for removing a lot of heat effectively.

Can you explain more about your ventilation/cooling setup. Cooling 33,000 watts of GPUs with 602 watts is impressive.
BTW- I added some padding into my 750 watt estimate. Really, all I'll be running is a 360 watt water cooler and 180 watts in exhaust fans, so it should be much lower than that.

Neat idea, I would like to see something similar to this but using dry ice.
