I see so many people with their ants side mounted & stacked.  What kind of heat do you guys see on the bottom card?  I don't even see a second fan on this rig..which btw is freaking AWESOME!!

I'm lost haha... too much of a noob. It would be great if it was a standalone unit with wifi too Smiley love anything that can just run on its own, no need for SSH and proxies...

Other then needing a PSU, it is standalone and will work with wifi... Plug in, configure web portal (IP,Pool,..), mine!

Here are my Ants powered by a HP DPS-800GB server supply w/ custom breakout board wired to a Raspberry Pi running MinePeon so I can monitor the status and power cycle remotely.

Whoa, I didnt know you can hookup AntS1's to a Pi... Do you know of any tutorial for doing this?
I don't think he's actually running a cgminer on the Pi to control the Ants. I think the two Ants are pointed at the Pi, and the Pi acts as a proxy to control the hashrate of both Ants at the same time. It also controls the PSU for easy reboots of the Ants.

I could be wrong, but that's what it looks like he's doing.

But this looks like a really interesting setup. After my Ants finish their hosting with my vendor, I plan to take them home and start solo mining with them... but if its not possible with a pi, I would maybe just have a small collection of USB AntU1's and U2's solo mining on solopool.com

Your photoshop skills aren't that impressive Tongue hehehe


This only goes to prove what I have been saying all along, 55nm silicon runs too hot, you have to operate the stuff in your underwear just to keep cool!


It is good to see women getting into IT though Smiley

^^^ Look awesome...

What is the power consumption?



Each rack consumes 48A @ 208V Single Phase. (24A each PDU) Each PSU powers 6 Ants, each bank of 3 ants is fed with a single 4awg wire (single + and single -) to the distribution block.

Your image is 2.6MB, perhaps that has something to do with it, not exactly sure, try a smaller one.

Nice server PSU hookup btw  Wink

Thanks, re-sizing did the trick!

Here's my humble setup.

[img ]http://i.imgur.com/fMrdIg2.jpg[/img]

Keeping my kitchen nice and warm  Grin
You're not popping breakers running 6 Ants through one outlet? In a kitchen with other appliances?

looks like 240V - either a stove outlet of just a 15A 240V outlet that is a little bit too close to its limits

Its 220V. All my power outlets go trough 16A breakers as that is whats costumary here in Portugal. The watt-meter is reading 2650wt. So there is still margin. This circuit is shared with an A+ refrigerator and 2 other unused outlets.
The oven, dish washer and clothe washer have exclusive breakers.

I gotta say im getting a bit tired of the noise... im gettin some scythe ultra kaze 3000rpm for these babies soon...

16A at 220V is a maximum 3500W. Following safety guidelines for <80% load you should not have a constant draw of more than 2800W on it. If your fridge kicks on that would easily add 300-600W of draw but for a fairly short period of time

4 antminer in the crates (soon to be cleaned of dust and relocated to the sheving since they are really loud in comparison) plus a bitfury (260Gh) and S1 on the top shelf, plus 5 more on the middle shelf.

The middleshelf has 3 antminers doing 387.5Mhz using a Corsair AX1200 (1205W on 12v) that barley gets warm on a 213V circuit. one of them is looking a bit over 2% hw errors though and will be tuned back to 375 probably

New Update. In my non-climate controlled 2-car garage I have three S1 Antminers overclocked to 393 MHz. The temperature here in Santa Fe, New Mexico is 62F/17C, but the three miners bring the temperature up to a cozy 89F/32C inside the garage. I ran one miner for 8 hours without my custom cover, which then reported temperatures of 54C/57C in the "Miner Status" tab. After 30 minutes with the cover on the temperatures had dropped to 51C/53C, and after 45 minutes the temperatures had dropped to a stable 47C/50C. This equates to a 13 degree Fahrenheit drop on both boards.

I will be selling an improved version of the case within a week, with the price point in the .017 BTC range for quantities under 10, and ~.0155 BTC for 10+ units (based on the current exchange rate). The price will include UPS ground shipping with tracking inside the USA for orders of 10+, while smaller orders will be at a flat rate of .009 BTC for UPS shipping.

Any update on this?  I moved my mining operation to the garage to get the heat & noise out of the house, and I suspect it'd benefit from whatever cooling tweaks I can make once summer hits Las Vegas.
