that lowes fan has a good price 139.99
Two of them in the right spot can pull a lot of heat out of the room.
How many miners will you have ?

Yea It was a good price I got two and had 50 off 250, so was a very nice deal for the amount of CFM.
I currently have a little over 10k watts worth of gear. I planned on going down from winter of 12k watts. But I didn't go as far down as I thought.
So now I'm working on getting a nice setup where I can put all in one room. I have a 100 amp subpanal so have a decent amount of electricity just for miners. Winter was easy and had them separated but I will drain a lot of profit out of it if I used AC to cool them.
Ac is a no go. what size room will these be in? 20 by 20 with a high ceiling?
I don't have exact dimensions. It's above a good sized two car garage and work space. It could park four cars if you wanted to pull them in that far. Good height on ceiling, they made it very steep which added a lot of room in the second story. I need to walk to get dimensions it off it's a pretty massive room.
Sounds bigger the 20 by 25 by 10 that is 5000 cubic feet so your two fans can pull about 15000 cubic feet . You should be okay as long as you are 2x fan power over cubic feet.
What state are you in?
Ie Texas, Alabama, Arizona , New Mexico all very hot.
New Jersey, New York not so bad.
I'm in Kansas. It's the house on the family farm (real crops sadly not a mining farm
). But it give me a ton of room and also 200 amps in main breaker, and 100 amps in separate subpanel not connected to main.It's been a good thing for mining. But I will be glad to get some rooms back once I get this done and finished on new mining area. And it's a pretty massive area on it I really need to measure or step it off sometime.
Do you have decent power prices? 8 or 9 cents?
I would consider them to be decent, not a super deal. But it's in the 9 cents by time you tack on all the fees and taxes.
under 10 cents lets you mine above power and other costs. thread water is a big part of the game now. then cash on the upswing.
With longer ROI now I don't sell gear near as often as I once was. This new area will allow me to keep my gear over summer (if all works out right) and hopefully have a little room for adding a machine or two as I would guess I will want more.
The longest part of this I think will be getting it's electricity wired. It already has networking going out to it. It's going to start with 110's just as it's easy/cheap to do. And hopefully get some 240 later on down the road. It's a heck of a breaker box with 100 amp so lot's of options.
Is the breaker box in the new building?
I assume it is please post a photo of it.
240 volt is really easy to do.
1 30 amp 2 pole breaker in the breaker box if the breaker box has a pair of 120 wires feed to it.
1 30 amp plug
a 10 gauge romex wire a used pdu on ebay
and you are done.
I will try tomorrow to get a picture. It is a big box. It's ready to have breakers put in it. I still need to do some cleaning in second story. Have 12 guage wire for the 110's and breakers. It is a subpanal that goes to new building it has 100 amp going to it.
I could use your advice on PDU I was looking at http://www.tripplite.com/metered-pdu-30a-208v-240v-0u-vertical-c19-c13-outlets-nema-l6-30p-single-phase~PDUMV30HV/ . It appears it uses "NEMA L6-30P" plug. What type of reciptical do I need for that?
I would truly appreciate your advice on what type of receptical you wired the 240 to that would work with most PDU's.
