It has two hashing boards neatly fitted in a compact 2U case, along with a couple of 1.2KW power supplies. Plus, it comes with a custom controller built right in.

Nice guide Dogie    How does the noise compare to the sp10 when the sp30 is at 4.5TH? What amp rated power leads would you recommend?

Looks very beautiful!

The noise on the SP30 is purely determined by the PSUs, rather than 'mostly' on the SP10. It is lower and lower pitched even compared to the SP10 in quiet mode. If you're running at 110V you're going to need at least 13A cables.

It does. However I'm also not sure at what point we scrap beauty and density to get rid of the bottleneck for these chips which is power/heat heat/power. They have so much headroom if we could get them more power, noise levels could be brought down magnitudes if we could use different PSUs and cooling could be increased significantly if we went to 3U.

Sounds promising. I will be running 230V

First image does not seem an actual picture as it does have ears and does not match the other front side pictures in your post.

agree this one looks liike money machine . but let we see in next year how many will  he got . btw nice set up !

All the top models get airbrushed

First image is their CAD rendering as mine didn't come out right. New location has different lighting so I've ordered some more lighting to compensate. The only difference is the actual SP30 doesn't use full cover heatsinks and the true color is silvery like the SP10.

If you were unhappy with the noise from a SP10 is it pretty safe to assume you will still be unhappy with a SP30 in warm ambient temps?

Not necessarily, its close enough that it will very much depend on who you're worried about being unhappy with the noise. It will really come down to your specific situation, and whether you can close doors etc.

Any chance you could post an audio clip of the unit hashing? Perhaps a comparison of the 2?

thanks for the guide The power cord you recommend  : SF Cable, 10ft 16 AWG Universal Power Cord - IEC320 C13 to NEMA 5-15P SJT 13A http://www.sfcable.com/P7C16-10.html this looks like a regular PC power supply power cord , comes standard with my 1300Watt PSUs ?  is'nt this only for 110v? what cord would be needed to run this miner off a 200-240 Amp receptable ? would you need a PDU ?

You'd need a cord that goes from whatever kind of recepticle you have (6-20p L6-20p or L6-30p would be common but not the only options) to C13.  However since it has two PSU's, you'd need a splitter, which might be difficult to find with enough amp rating, or you'd need a PDU.

I was planning on using two separate outlets on different breakers thats not a problem running the numbers honestly running an SP30 at 4.1 TH at 2600WATT actually  running the numbers provides a better hash/Watt number than 4.5 TH at 2900WATT, not sure what all the big deal with maxizing the hash ratio to all ends is.  Hash/Watt is what matters in the end.

Really?

@marvell1 That is a misconception. What matters is $/GH and operational costs aka $/GH/m. Increasing the hashrate lowers $/GH and can lead to a faster ROI, especially if your $/GH/m is low (aka 5ct/kW/h including hosting).

You are wrong here. For the moment you are better running it at full speed and at max unit's W/GH/s. I plan to switch it to 4Th/s at 2.3kW at ~70 bil diff.

If you already have 2 circuits installed, then just buy the cables with the correct ends, and you should be good to go.  Honestly though, even at 3kW, you're not to go over 12-13A @240v, which is perfectly safe on a 20A circuit. Find the plug that matches your recepticles: http://smile.amazon.com/SF-Cable-NEMA-L6-20P-250V/dp/B009ZERV72 http://smile.amazon.com/6-20P-Power-Cord-Adapter-Foot/dp/B00H7JR636/ This one already has 2xC13, so you'd be good to go. http://smile.amazon.com/L6-30P-C13-Splitter-Power-Cable/dp/B00BGAEBNU/ And of course you can easily get C13-C14 extension cables wherever (online...Don't expect to find them at Ace Hardware).  Though I would be sure to get those cables rated for 250v & at least 15-20A. As to the W/Hash ratio, that is what matters "in the end" only so much as you are talking end of life of your hardware.  As RoadStress said after the difficulty is >70B.  Until then, maximize your hash rate as much as you safely can.
