Topic: [WTS] 40' wired shipping container data center (Read 1148 times)

A nice bump for this great idea.
i love this setup! have been thinking to do the same for my old setup, however my setup was relatively small consisting of only ~15 th/s a year ago before i moved so wasn't worth the investment. So bought a cheap shed instead. However, i love the movability of this datacenter, the size and expansion possibilities. This would be ideal to just ship somewhere, where electricity is cheap as dirt, and be able to move when somewhere else is cheaper.
good luck with the sale!

Fist bump!

deserves a bump!

Thanks!

I looked at modular classroom prices and it seems containers are still the cheapest option unless someone knows something I do not.

Good luck with the sale!

Burying this would improve the insulation factor of the container.  However, mining is massive heat generation and removal, so the extra insulation would not be beneficial.  It could be helpful to keep the temp in check for aquaponics or something in a more "normal" temperature range.

Thanks!  Nice idea on the modular classrooms too   I only got to use this for about a year after I got it going before electric prices forced me to shut things down.  It was a lot of fun though!

Hey would partially or completely burying this container help keep the temperature in check?  I remember seeing a diagram for a modular aquaponics farming setup built outta a container similar to this one.  And they buried it to keep their temperatures with in the desired range.
Edit. Sorry for going a bit off-topic, Good luck with your sale!

Hmm have to cut the vents off to ship, what are electric rates in Alaska hmmmm

Very nice.  I had been thinking about doing this for quite a while, but now on to using modular classrooms.

Testing interest for a 40' wired shipping container that was used as a temporary data center.   Post or PM offers if interested.  Located in Kansas City area.

200 amp fuse box mostly full of 240v fuses with a few 120v fuses.
12 - 240v outlet boxes with 4 outlets each
2 - 24" fans able to move around 6300 CFM each. (only one has been wired/used as I found it was plenty to keep what I had in there cool)
Walls/door are modular.  Remove a few screws on any of the existing walls or door and that 4' section of wall can be removed/relocated as needed.
I built this with modularity/expandability in mind.  One could double or triple the power in this container and be able to air cool it in the right environment.  With ~30kw being pulled, it kept the indoor temp at 88F when the outside temp was 85F.

This was built with hot aisle/cold aisle design in mind. Cold aisle on the side with the vents is enclosed when the door is shut.  Hot aisle is currently the rest of the container.  This way cool outside air is pulled straight through the units and hot inside air is not circulated back behind the units.  Eventual plan was to mount an A/C on the roof to blow air into the cold aisle.  Exhaust air from the hot aisle and utilize an air-side economizer as needed.  Never got to go that far though *Sigh*  

I can help arrange shipping but buyer is responsible for pickup/shipping and any related costs.
