Now that you mention it this is actually very interesting, so in the set up i have 10xS9s running with the pipes to the ceiling and 4xL3+s just with fans there you guys have the status of one of each kind. I don't see a major diffrence but the screens are difreent too.

Interesting! Thank you for sharing. How did you decide to split your machines 10 to BTC and 4 to L3? (if you had it to do over, would you choose a different ratio?)

Thanks again, your input is very much appreciated.

You are going to lose a healthy portion of your profits to those AC units. Those portable types are the least efficient of all you could have used. You should really work out a better cooling system that doesnt require AC if you want to come close to maximizing profits.

You're indeed right this is was an out of the rush set up as seems like i need to get a permission for whatever i want to do in there so i just wanted to put the miners to work asap, I'm currently having a engineer design an exhaust system so i can get rid of the portable AC units i also have central air but it just not enough.

You should try Canaan 741's for bitcoin mining. They have a shorter ROI and almost as efficient as S9's. Some say they have a lot study hardware than S9's. Might make a huge difference in the long run.

Compare their ROI's yourself:

741's are in a discount btw (714$now), nice hash calculates the ROI by the old price tag -818$.

Have a look: https://canaan.io/product/avalonminer-741/

I'd love to hear about the "fails" so we could possibly learn from your mistakes. I'm interested in starting a small farm like this as well. (currently, I have only 3 miners, but room for at least 10 more - need power outlets though) I have plenty of cooling (room temp of 65f/18c) but the chips are still running at 141f/60c - would be interested in your room temps and chip temps?

How does the ducting from the miner exhaust effect their chip temperature?

So after months on preparation ideas and fails, I'm finally operating right now with 10 S9s (120 TH/s) and 4 L3+(2000MH/s) just to let you guys know it costed me a lot of time ti find a place with with enough power capacity and then it costed me 7000$ for an electrician to do 32 outlets on that room for me. i also bought 2 portable AC/s and a few fans.

so what you guys think?

Nice, but would look even more nice if you cut holes in ceiling boards for ventilation pipes going through.
And some zip ties for cabling.

Also, I must say that there actually already is a thread for mining rig pics

Thank you i was not aware of that post and i also appreciate the suggestions, I'm planning to do it i initially had it without pipes whatsoever and of course it did not work so i just add those yesterday and wanted to know first if it wont cause any trouble as the A/C unit's conducts go trough the ceiling , is doing good so far i may do it permamnent with some holes as you suggested good idea.
