Check out this Protocube mobile crypto mining container. They come in 10', 20', or 40' sizes, with 1 MW power distribution on the 40' ones. Anyone here got experience with these? Would love some insights.

Sounds cool. I've seen folks asking about this recently. What’s the deal with the custom power setup that doesn’t need expensive plugs? Is it hardwired? That could complicate miner maintenance... Also, are those adjustable racks?
Great questions! To save on costs and space, we decided to hardwire the power cords. Each cord is cut to fit the miner's area, which means less hassle with excess cable. We can still offer PDUs for those who prefer them, though.

I was thinking about price, too. $135k? That’s wild. You could build a decent-sized building for that much. Are you serious? It better be really good for that price.
True, you could go that route. But if you want 1 MW of power distribution, that's where it gets pricey. I’d love to know where you’re getting your gear if you can make it cheaper! Power distribution is the big expense.

I get that but still... Usually running 400 amps costs around $2k, and maybe $10k for 2000 amps. So I’m curious about how the $135k is justified.
