XS member builds a 100k PPD farm

Saw this over on XS a few minutes ago, and was all like 'damn, that's incredible'. So I had to share it with you guys

Here are a few samples:

This guy is amazing, nearly 80k today!

I'd love to dedicate half of my garage to a project like that and then another half of my years annual salary to the goodies

More power to him!

It's sure incredible!

For comparison, today his output was about 25% of TPU's entire WCG team's output!

I applaud what he is doing, some day I wish to be able to DC on a scale like this.

This is the kind of thing I'd do if I had access to unlimited capital. Except, it would be a whole rented house full, and they'd all be 980x's.

Pretty awesome though.

Yeah, it looks like based on his car he has some money to burn

And a lot of guys have been sending him HDDs and RAM and whatever...they're a cool team, just like us

Many of his are the Xeon equivalents

EDIT @ SV: He said that each hex-core setup is around 200w, so maybe 2.5kw for all, which is not quite $5 a day at our electric rates

I just can't imagine spending this much money

I can see spending enough to get a consistent ~25k like Mind, but I can't imagine paying as much as 75-100k PPD must cost.

Wouldn't it be more efficient to buy SR-2's & save on power supplies & hard drives? Possibly even a pump per system?

I'm not sure TBH. It very well could be, but the PSUs and HDDs he's using can't be more than $75 per system (combined)

If I only had the space to do that, I can save up the funds to do so. Oh, and I WOULD!

That's the spirit

What I've learned is not to overshoot myself, I went overboard w/ getting more GPUs for FAH earlier this year and the result was that I got banned from DC for a couple months....slow and steady does it

I was about to ask why you got banned, then it hit me. Slowly but surely you make it anywhere!

400w+ heat output when it's 100F outside = pissed parents. But now I can justify the 400w heat load, it's getting cold overnight

That reminds me of the Nvidia commercial that AMD/ATI did. I mean it's fucked up, but it was effin' hilarious!

Yeah...I have that vid on my phone

But, I guess 2.5kw isn't too much, IIRC that's what Buck's farm was at one point, and I've seen other members of different DC teams with multi-KW FAH/WCG farms
