Title: Storage Crate Issues?? Post by: jtphenom on January 16, 2014, 12:56:48 AM Hi folks,
So I'm building my first rig following the basic steps of cryptobadger's tutorial. But my milk crates have a problem, or rather a couple of them. First, the edges where I would screw down the GPUs have a little wall (so it’s an ‘L’ shape facing out.. ya dig?), so I can’t screw them directly to the edge of the crate. Also, when resting the brace on the crate, the bracket of the GPU is not level with any edges. Here is the model I’m using: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121803&nm_mc=TEMC-RMA-Approvel&cm_mmc=TEMC-RMA-Approvel-_-Content-_-text-_- Any suggestions? Thanks!!

Pictures of your setup may help us to help you better :-)

Thats my milk create miner named BETA. Have a look at the pictures for ideas! Title: Re: Storage Crate Issues?? Post by: soy on January 19, 2014, 09:03:24 PM Just hot glue it.

Nah Actually yes it can, and even if it doesn't melt it will significantly weaken. Title: Re: Storage Crate Issues??

Have a look at the pictures for ideas! I don't have access to crates that big, though. I just bought a normal sized one and modified it with a vibrating blade. It's working pretty well!

Nah Actually yes it can, and even if it doesn't melt it will significantly weaken. The force is holding down though, it'll stay tacky enough to function or is the pci bracket not touching the crate?

Title: Re: Storage Crate Issues?? Post by: t1000 on January 22, 2014, 12:52:35 AM Use nylon strings to suspend your cards. In the front the string can go around the adapter plate. In the back the string can thread through the hole in the corner of the PCB. Tie the strings to either side of the crate.
Also, duct tape can do anything. |
