When's the funeral? Picture of it, please.
No, honestly, sorry to hear this. But I also would be interested in your solution regarding solar power...

Sorry to hear about your loss....but,did you do your solar yourself 
I'm VERY interested in your setup,model #'s & wiring info.
I live in Fla & have conflicting info from many sources on compatibility of panels,gridtie inverters & lots of other supposed issues.
I need experience & expertise I guess,which in solar I lack ATM
Thanks for any sharing any insight
Hope you get back to "normal" ASAP bro

Can you post pictures.
Sure, I'll post them tomorrow or something. It's just a tangle of wires and such in a work shed, but the solar panels on the roof are cool (1.5kw on the main shed, 1kw on the second shed, Sunny Boy 1800/700's doing the grid tie) Bag of rice can't save em or are they totally fried?
Not sure. The Corsair has a faint smell of burned inside it, I've got it in front of the fireplace insert for the evening to dry out. Will see tomorrow.The miners were not wet at all, what I think happened is that the 750 either threw 120 volts onto the 12v line briefly or something that caused the units to go to ground through the USB lines. Which makes no sense as the Corsairs are pretty high quality power supplies, and I have everything plugged into GFCIs explicitly to catch a ground fault before it exceeds 10ma. All GFCIs are tested good. Also odd that two jalapenos were plugged into the same supply and are fine. Odd.
Not a BFL issue as the Chili is even more screwed up. I can fix the Single pretty easily, just pull the FTDI chip and replace. However unlike BFL Mr. Teal has not released any schematics or code so I can't easily troubleshoot the Chili.
Ah that sucks well lesson learnt lock the shed and make sure there are no leaks

I would check through everything. If you rent, maybe your it includes a certain amount of renters insuarnce? Thats how it works for me, 10 dollars extra a month, didnt know I even had it for the longest time.
Couldnt something like that be covered by insurance. Worth the investment next go around.
Perhaps, however given the residual value of the miners and my "I'll deal" sentiments I'll eat the damage. I will however consider reloating any future miners under the bench or something :-)

Well, it was bound to happen. I have moved about 300gh of my mining power out to my solar powered shed to take some of the heat load off the house. Today we had massive rain and snow in MD, and in the afternoon I got a note that the shed miners were offline. Figured they tripped the GFCI.
Nope. Shed door had blown open and rain blew in. Got one of my Corsairs wet (had to be the 750), it's dead as a doornail. Not sure why. However when I moved a spare power supply in, two of the units didn't come up: My Chili and one of my 50gh Single boards.
The Chili is dead, barely starts the fans, no lights. The Single comes up but no USB. My guess is the power supply faulted and took out the FTDI chip somehow, which is odd since the PSU is grounded and everything is on GFCI's. Great, the 100gh of hashing and $80 power supply failed to protect the $5.00 GFCI socket.
Everything else is up and running again and I have latched the door. 32 degrees out now, I'm sure it will be in the 80's tomorrow. Gotta love climate change....
