This is a great idea, especially when matching the energy heat output from miners to other needs than just cryptomining. The one big draw back to this concept, aside from cost of electricity and proper wiring to handle the load, is that the damn ASIC machines are loud. From a basic consumer use aspect, the noise level off the hook, making the idea impractical.

Thanks!

On the noise, previously, I would have agreed with you. But I actually fixed this last week: #1596515

That's also why I can finally put this s9 even in my neighbors house. It's pretty dang quite with those P12 Pros on it.

Was that the right link or am I blind (could be the latter)? I don't see where you dealt with the ASIC noise from something like an S9 Asic. Anyhoo, the exact post doesn't matter; how did you muffle the noise?

replace the fans with P12 Pros https://www.arctic.de/us/P12-Pro/ACFAN00305A

There are even quieter options, but these you can find really affordably.
