Here's the picture of the Antminer s1's in a Rosewill Server Case.




Thanks Pcpoet.

You're very welcome Smiley

this is one of the platoons in my army of ants.

Do you find a cooling advantage having the ants stacked on their side ?

The only time I see an issue with cooling is if the fan is not working or on full from the start.... other then that kooling is a non issue so far.

but summer is coming!

Here is a few shots of 2 ants, over clocked to 400MHz (200GH/s). The extra fans you can see are added exhaust fans powered and controlled from the spare port on the 2nd blade.

Something I wanted to note is that when they were moved closer together, the airflow created between them kept them cooler.

In some very unscientific experiments about 2 inches seems to do the trick.

Running happily along at 38C.







Windpath, are those 140mm fans infront?

31 S1s in my basement for the winter meant no gas heating bill! The monthly electric bill still gets paid with 3-5 days worth of mining revenue, so I'm pretty happy with this investment.







Ahhhh very nice looking rig Smiley Well done R1

Let them breathe man let them breathe.



That back PCI mounting panel comes out with 8 ish phillips screws and opens the entire back of the case.

How are you moving this heat around your house in winter?

R1 wow that's impressive. How do you ge the heat out?  I don't see any ductwork anywhere.

PcPoet, any pics??


Sure I'll take a pic soon, I tested in my room with 2 antminer s1 in the server case and it overheated and shutdown. Maybe I should just put one in? Maybe If it was a datacenter it would inhale the cold and exhaust the hot air and it wouldn't shutdown? I don't let me know what you guys think of putting 2 in a case. Thanks.

So are you planning to occupy 1-2U of rackspace overhead to get that air out? Im picturing a server rack as best as I can, and generally the airflow is designed to either go out the backside or to go out the sides. If you stacked several of your units, there would be a pretty insane temperature gradient with all the airflow pointed vertically

This unit is going to go into the top of rack where I have a 2U exhaust fan to evacuate it from the rack. Interesting side note between the bitfurys, BFLs, KNC, and the antMiner, the antMiner handles heat the best and I saw a decrease in hash when I reduced their op-temp below 40C.

Thanks to BitMainTech's new 1TH/s this will be the only 6 * S1 unit I build...  well I do have coupons.. Wink

^the design is really nice, but what the heck is with the fan setup? you have 3 exhaust fans that are trying to handle the airflow of 6 big delta fans (that are pointed at eachother on top of that?)

The use of the fuse board is neat - I have a few of those with me now but didnt see much benefit in useing them, espescially considering any risk of the open terminals being near so much metal and wiring. (might be worth putting plastic tips on the unused terminals?)

The exhaust fans simply redirect the air up and out, they are handling the flow well. They are static at full speed while the antMiner fans vary as need be. The pics with "open" tips was temporary as all 36 spots are utilized in final assembly. This unit is heading for co-location in the morning, but run steady @ 48C in a lab with an ambient temp of 90F. I know NOT happy rack has been delayed, but all will be happy in the morning.

Building a bigger, better anthill now that the weather is getting warm and I cant fit anything else on my limited apartment circuits.

You can see a before-and-after: went from a storage area in the back of an office to what will become a high-capacity rack.

2x L6-30 circuits (213V, 30A each) - Currently using an unmetered PDU with C13 outlets
1x L21-20 circuit (120V, 20A,20A,20A) - Currently using a metered PDU with L5-20 outlets
1x 5-20 circuit with duplex outlet

approximately 15kW of power available under 80% rule of thumb, with about 4kW of equipment once I move a few more things in, a bunch more antminers showing up thursday, and leaving lots of room to grow. Not sure what I will hit first - power limits or cooling limits (industrial 600V A/C)




There is a 1200W Corsair PSU, plus 3x 835W server power supplies wired up and ready to go. All of them will use 213V power for a bit better efficiency
