No, you won't save any money by going down that road.
You should also see how much it costs for you to run the miner and then estimate if you can make ROI on any miner model by using Bitcoin mining calculators found online.
You will need a lot of reading before you fully understand everything related to Bitcoin mining, but it is not rocket science.
There are lots of information available online and here at the forum in existing threads.
Topic: Only chip? No PSU? No refrigeration? (Read 713 times)
thank you very much, well if i buy the parts separately.. (as control board may be the hardest to find) and rejoin it myself will i save $? cables i can find out how to do, fan i can place some recycled fan and... heatsinks i can do them myself... so... if i ever happen to find a cheap S5 control board can i make my own DiY Ant S5?
thank you very much
thank you very much
You don't buy the PCB without heatsinks, control board, fan and everything. That's stupid.
Also thinking about refridgerator is stupid.
Cooling is all about air circulation. Cool air in and hot air out.
Find a whole miner plus PSU and then introduce yourself to the specific tutorial.
See this S5 tutorial by user dogie for example

Its an Antminer S5 PCB
When you buy this its clear that you need a power supply right? And a refrigeration system. Also, which cables are the ones to choose and it goes onto which PC port?? USB? USB3? PCI? Mini PCI for laptop? If it doesnt come with cables, refrigeration nor PSU... how to do it yourself?
