Great pictures and nice setup. I run miners in two locations. I started out at my home by adding a 400 amp service and making a full 200 amp panel to run miners. I started running the old Bitcrane T110 units, then switched to the Spondoolies SP31s. Finally ended up with Bitmain. I run D3s, L3+, S9s and L-21s. The box that this picture shows was made out of OSB plywood with a cement board liner (fire and noise resistant). I use three 1000 cfm inline fans to pump fresh air (filtered) from under my home's crawlspace (cool) and into the box's front side, low. I then exhaust out the rear with 6,000 cfm worth of fans, spread across the back of the box (high) using insulated duct hosing (12" mostly). This set up works great, b/c I don't need AC and it's quiet (about 70 db).

Helotours--Can you show us a pic of the back side, I'd like to see how you mounted the power supplies or which ones you used to power all those.

I do love the compact housing design. Very well done.

Thanks. Regarding your setup, did you cut the tarp on the exhaust side to fit the fans? Did you have any problems with air recirculation? That's a great idea.

I put an X big enough for the fans to fit through...used 2 rubber bands to seal off the tarp to the fan housing and then a 3rd one to roll the points down and put a single square around the outside of the fan to seal it and recess it a bit to make the exit tarp look pretty.

Anytime I need to clean, adjust or swap boards...3 rubber bands and it slides back out so it can be worked on.

And a bag of rubber bands...$1 should last me a year...or 3.

Regarding the power set up - I added a 200 amp panel to my existing service and set the panel up to run 4, 30 amp 220v and 4, 20 amp 220v circuits. I have one receptacle per circuit mounted in metal conduit along the wall. From there, I go with locking nema plugs to commercial type, metered PDUs. I had to replace some cables this AM, so the picture is a mess. I usually have the cords tied up and neat. I am running 43 miners out of this box which is 8'x4x4'
