I added it to miningrigrentals a few days ago but it hasn't been rented yet. The L3+ I have on there hasn't been rented for a day or two either though. I probably need to adjust my rental prices to allow for the BTC price increase. I'm not too concerned if they don't get rented though .... they're earning ok with NiceHash. I'm really just playing with rental as an alternative and a curiosity to see if I can increase the earnings slightly. I'd rather they only get rented once a week at a higher price than get rented frequently at a loss.

Interesting container idea. I've been looking to do something similar with the ducting but would prefer to enclose them in something a little more flame retardant, just in case. My house has a cellar, so I'm considering putting a few Antminers down there (in some sort of enclosure), using ducting to channel the heat up into the house. One way that I thought of, since the cellar is partly under the main staircase, is to modify a staircase riser to put some grilles in it. If I use one of the lower risers, it should provide a little additional heating to both upstairs and downstairs.
