116 when you check newegg everyday for the 58xx knowing that the sapphire appears with the add to cart available then clicking. Then finding out that the add to cart has been replaced with add to notify.

117 tired of seeing rings and baseball cards when entering 58xx and 69xx in newegg's search.

111. When you build your own mining rig powered hot-tub so you can relax after a stressful day of watching the price of BTC swing up and down.

Wow that's a great idea - an outdoor hot-tub and water-cool all your rigs with the hot-tub water, pipe it in from outside!

Building now, brb.

Post your pics when you finish it. Grin Wink

108. When seeing post like gat3way's you check if forum has some reputation system to award some negative rep.

Is that supposed to mean miners know nothing about everything involved?

to expand on my previous point:
McLaren Technology Center: (from wikipedia)
Quote
The building is accompanied by a series of artificial lakes: one formal lake directly opposite that completes the circle of the building, and a further four 'ecology' lakes. Together they contain about 50,000 m³ of water. This water is pumped through a series of heat exchangers to cool the building and to dissipate the heat produced by the wind tunnels...

A 145 metre long, rectangular-circuit shaped wind tunnel is located at one end of the building. Team McLaren uses it for testing development aerodynamic parts, as well as testing aerodynamic set-ups. The tunnel contains 400 tonnes of steel and the air is propelled by a four metre wide fan that rotates at up to 600 rpm.

How cool would my rigs run if they were cooled by a 4 meter fan at 600 RPM?

100. You need to find out how to block DDoS attacks by other miners (and pools).
101. You need a 10Gbit/sec pipe to your home so that it can act as a backup DC for your pool servers.
102. If your miners go down for a day the next block difficulty will be lower.
103. You start looking for places around the planet with the lowest KWh costs.
104. You start looking for really cold countries to setup an outdoor air cooled mining facility.
105. You really do wonder which countries match the criteria for 103 and 104, and which would be the cheapest factoring in PUE.
106. You wonder if a nearby lake could act as a heat sink, but are still a bit concerned about possibly slow cooking all the fish alive.
107. You wonder how you can turn heat into an additional revenue stream. And begin by googling Low-temperature cooking and Sous-vide.
108. You wonder if you could ever mass market electric Bitcoin radiators.
109. You wonder if you have said too much about your addiction by taking part in this thread.

There is my 10, I hope at least one of them made you smile.

106:  Formula 1 team McLaren operate wind tunnel, and apparently that generates a lot of heat.  They use a man made lake as a heat sink. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McLaren_Technology_Centre

117.  You read an entire book about HVAC, another about Electrical, and seriously consider studying for the licensing exam even though you learned everything just to power and cool your rigs throughout your home.

110. Your underground basement is actually hot.
111. You have checked your hashrates while naked and felt no shame.
112. You start taking breaks with the smokers as an excuse to check your uptime and mining yield.
113. You look forward to the top of every hour when your deepbit balance gets updated.
114. Your new favorite pasta is rig-atoni.
115. Instead of fantasizing about winning the lottery you fantasize about having 10k+ coins
116. You have wondered about the marketability of a wireless photo frame for your wall that displays your hashrate and coin balance.
