Title: The Super-Duper $20 Mining Rig Stand Post by: bitlane on October 21, 2011, 12:40:32 PM Wood......perhaps not for some, but for the price, it works well.
To begin, I am sure everyone has seen one of these ($6-$8, Walmart etc): http://members.shaw.ca/imagestuff/rack_1.jpg These units come ready to be stacked, with dowels included. Here is what 2 of them look like with the beginning modifications, prior to assembly: (alternate cutting out the center shelve slats, leaving 2 slats on each end for leg support) http://members.shaw.ca/imagestuff/rack_2.jpg Here is what I invisioned when deciding to go this route (or something close): (please forgive the horrible photoshop cut/paste job) http://members.shaw.ca/imagestuff/rack_3.jpg Obviously I will add a bit of bracing, paying particular attention to the vertical (legs) and that should pretty much do it, after a good lathering in Carpenter's Glue on every joint etc. I currently have all mining equipment spread out, single high. I just wanted something cheap, stackable and wasn't a bitch to cool. A couple of these will definately make my life easier.... **The final dimensions of this unit are not that far off from the average 70's style box fan.....just slide one in behind this rig once assembled. http://88.3thewind.com/uploads/images/21333_300.jpg Hope someone finds this helpful, or atleast gets ideas from it.

But i think Catfishes design is the next step for me, makes sense :) https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=7216.msg582775#msg582775 |
