Mother Mine - Extreme Mining Setup

I've bought a few of them Lasko box fans.

Although right now I'm ok with temps since I've spread out my rigs all over the house, going to have 1 fan behind each rig blowing air through it. Which should bring me down from 80c to 70c.

Then in the cellar we have a small window but obviously for security reasons cant leave it open for the time being. So going to have it barred up from the outside, open window and stick one of the fans there as a extraction. The windows is near the ceiling too, so should work brilliantly.

Long term, if this project makes good money and is still viable in 6 months time, we have in the attic a very tall bit from the stair case to the roof where there are two roof windows fitted. Will have wiring done and fit some shelves and place the hottest rigs there. Have motorised windows fitted to roof so can open up at will. Maybe stick a large extraction fan up their but given heat rises, all heat should go straight out through the roof, not turning the house into an over.

That's my plan if need be in the summer.

That photo messes with my head buddy :p
 
This is so awesome, I have a quick question. How did you get into mining? Did u start small scale or just dive head first? What made you decide to splash out on all that hardware?

Thanks and hope it turns a profit for you.
 
I just had a thought on how to keep the temps down on the GPU's and not the whole room.

You could get a few massive plastic containers and fill them with ice cold water (top them up daily with ice cubes etc)

Run some wide flexable pipe like the stuff they use on tumble dryers etc and attach one end to the end of the fan and the other end submerged in the water but still has the other end sticking out so there is no water inside the actual tube (duhhh)

Top it up with ice cold water and ice cubes and shazam! Cheap air conditioning!

Also if the quantity of water is big enough it will be extremely hard for it to warm up

I did a mock up drawing but im **** with put pen to paper

Gone quiet of late, he's either been arrested by the police because of the heat coming from his house they think he's the weed king, or he's electrocuted himself...
 
One crazy set up and not surprised you've had issues with the electrics - if still having issues could always drop us a line and can take it up with the old man, he's an electrics genius and does a lot of consulting - unlike me who's expetise stop with wiring a plug :D
 
Crazy setup here, if only the drivers existed to put them all to gaming use in free time...

6 4k monitors in Eyefinity would be easy for all of these together.
