Have the Antiminer on a timer ATM. It means my office is nice and tosty in the morning! It'll get 12-16hrs a day at that and 24 for weekends. Slows down the ROI but it's useful and reasonable.
I've seen bits on pic hacking it to get it to undervolt making it much quieter (single or without fans!) and cheaper to run (seams about half the hash rate gives a third of the power) but whilst worth knowing, not really my aim atm

Slushpool is giveing me 0.01000000 BTC ~predicted every two weeks on my timer usage which is pretty reasonable!

Got my 4x Nvidia 970 rig working. It's a little heath robinson in it's build, but has given me an idea of how these things are built. It was shipped with the cards seperate which was fun, but I've built quite a few PCs so that wasn't too bad. Powered it up and nothing.....Stripped it down, checked stuff, no direct issues, rebuilt....nothing. Dead power cable *DOH*. Powered up, 3 beeps. Resat memory and BINGO
Windows 8.1 which is a bit new to me and mild ick, but hey!
Old drivers, software and a few oddities but looks pretty clean (i'm suspicious)

I've got it running Nicehash and it keeps changing what quite it is doing which is irritating as change over causes a fair amount of drop and spool up. I did wonder if it was doing it to max profits, but I think it's based off what Nicehash wants to mine as it seems to switch down etc!

Seems to be getting 0.0005-6 BTC a day. Am wondering what else I can mine with it instead and what pool. Vertminer is on it but needs research and *ANOTHER* wallet!

The rig FYI
