Topic: Turned a shipping container into a mining farm (Read 1883 times)
I would have never thought of that, but this is awesome. I set up my mining farm in one of the closets, and my wife is terrorizing me to move my stuff out of there. I think I need such a container because she won't let me in peace in the house. I found some options on https://www.tigercontainers.com/contact-us/shipping-containers-sydney/ one day when I was looking for containers but for a totally different purpose, so I think my office needs a rebranding or an upgrade, if I can say it like that. Either way, thanks for the idea.
Hey Sam -
How is the ventilation working out for you so far?
If you have any other "lessons learned" - would love to hear them. We start fabrication on our container this coming week!
Thanks for taking the time to document and share everything!

I love to know the new GPU mining coin. so I can mine more for less difficulty.
I came to know new----- PoWer coin---- and starting to mine it, good to know their developers to get tricks from community https://discord.gg/D9rsP2Q

Its a really good idea. Its very easy to manage the heat in one of those things (if you keep it in shade during summer!! otherwise it turns into an oven!). The only thing i would be worried about are thieves. They are REALLY easy to brake into.

here this might help
I saw it on Tallinn blockchain conference
I think they worked quite a lot with modifying the correct ways of airflow and stuff, there also will be some cooling options for higher temp environments
let's see were it will end

A quick test of a few of the ventilation fans and construction of the cable trays. https://youtu.be/1YwDxfVzD2c

The problem of dusting, despite the air inlet filter. More often it is necessary to do cleaning of radiators of video cards.
Security problem - video cards are expensive. I would additionally put the alarm system for safety, especially sensors for filters.

We have expanded metel in the opening. The Idea behind the whole container is so that we can move it if need be. If we need to relocate it we can just drop the intake and exhaust hoods and set it on a truck and go.
The amount of air flow was calculated based off of the CFM of the total number of miner fans. The size of the opening in the container meets the requirements of the ventilation fans we are using. The fans we are using is just a whole house fan from homedepot they are like $200 shipped and move like 5400 CFM each.

Cool - I'm sharing your videos with a local (We're in NC) electrician. I think he's having a hard time believing our power needs, and what we're doing - so this is good stuff :-)
Quick question - what was the reason you did the large (intake, I assume) vent across the top where you angled out the side of the conex - instead of just doing vent/fan holes like I've seen others do?
I imagine this is much better for ventilation, but I'm worried about security on such a large opening.

thanks for sharing the videos. we're working through the process now - so we are learning a lot from yours.

Thanks.. We should be posting a video in the next day or so showing the fans installed and all of the heavy electrical completed.
We have devised a better way to make the intake and exhaust hoods. The plan on the next container is to build the frames on the ground and use a thiner material for the skin. We reused the pieces we cut out of the container on this one and although it is thin material it is way heavy.
I plan on doing a video of the lessons learned as we get closer to start up...
