People on the forums and subreddits seem to have the best luck with these cards: These will be very difficult to obtain, especially in the quantities you will require, just so you know. Here's what you'll need: • 60 of those Sapphire video cards, let's say $500 each, $30,000 • 60 PCI Express POWERED flexible extenders, $10 each, $600 • 15 Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 Motherboards, $150 each, $2250 • 15 Cooler Master Cooler Master Silent Pro M2 PSUs, $350 each, $5250 • 15 Seagate ST500DM002 500 GB Hard Drives, $60 each, $900 • 15 AMD FX-4130 Zambezi 3.8GHz CPUs, $100 each, $1500 • 30 4 GB DDR3-1866 DIMMs, $60 each, $1800 • 15 Openrigs.com 4 GPU 'Giorgina' stackable frames, $100 each, $1500 We are looking at $43,800 so far.
Now, Unless you happen to live in Iceland, Greenland, or Antarctica, you will need a large amount of cooling. I will assume that you will use 1,250 Watts per rig, so 18.75 KW total that will need to be cooled. The standard formula we have always used is about 10,000 BTU of cooling power per 3,000 W worth of equipment. 6 portable air conditioners should do the trick, as long as they are 12,000 BTU each. Try this one, from LG, for about $350: This brings our grand total to $45,900. The last sticky wicket here: you will need 27 KW to power this rig.
I know you mentioned that you have a warehouse with free power, but you will need a circuit that can handle 200 Amps at 220 V available. Although you could get away with running this type of setup in some homes, in most cases, this would be considered an 'industrial' setup. If you need to have an electrician out, which you most likely will, they tend to charge triple when it's for industrial or commercial use. Be prepared to spend at least $3,000 wiring the thing up. That brings us to $48,900, or only $1,100 extra for shit that fails on you, melts down, cables you need, weed to smoke, etc. In the event that you need to pay for this power yourself, assuming you are in North America and pay 15 cents/KWh, you're looking at $98 per day.
The upside of this? Your brand new rig will push 45 MH/s. If you can get all of this equipment in the next two weeks, it all works, and difficulty doesn't increase too much, you will break even in just under a year. Check out this calculator, I used 1.5% as a difficulty increase per retarget: Good luck to you. Post pictures if you get it working. This is a matter of personal preference. Hard drives are simply faster to get data on and off of than flash drives, and far more reliable.
When you talk about setting up 15 systems, two hours less time spent cloning operating systems is two more hours you have to troubleshoot other problems. Hell, you could probably set up a TFTP style netboot if you wanted to be really crafty.:) The expensive CPU is not necessary. When I built my own personal miners I opted for the 4-core CPU so that I could mine other altcoins at a really low level with CPU miner in the background. While I agree with you that setting up a netboot mechanism is a more efficient and streamlined way of configuring the OP's installation, I still have valid reasoning behind my choice of selecting hard drives. I'm not sure what the OP's level of technical expertise is, but in the event that he/she is not a skilled UNIX sysadmin, one must consider the complexity of a netboot system. Using hard drives is simpler and easier for most users to deploy and configure than a netboot system, and eliminates a level of complexity that may not be suited for all applications.
