going to let ebay set the price I guess on some of this stuff. Anyone wanting any metal parts or the goggles message me before they get bids, other wise this thread will be my sort of, non-computer store, so as not to clutter, since I make all sorts of stuff that I sell  |

just mentioning I placed the rails up on ebay. anyone wanting some but wanting to use bitcoin to pay, let me know. and I can help you out. will also make them a lot cleaner looking than the home made looking ones in here rounded corners and if you want polished to a mirror shine surfaces lol. |

are you asking for advice and help getting a frame? if so just PM me if you want to talk about it. I am designing some stuff now, and have been doing metal fabrication design and construction for a very long time |

wow nice, you do the hammering work on the brass and pewter? from one metal smith to another that is awesome. Good luck and if you are interested in some custom tools to work metal let me know. I can either help with design or make them and ship them to you Of course i do the hammering. That's almost the 90% of the total work. I've found some "home-made" ways to make the patterns but i'll have you in mind if i decide to get some custom tools. Thanks a lot! keep in mind I am open to helping you develop tools you can make your self that way we cut out all the middle men and you become just a little more selfsufficient helping to starve the beast that we are all trying to get rid of, the parasitical big bankers. lol. anything I can do to push people doing more and creating more the better, I started a movement that is gaining momentum though the going is slow since people all believe they have no personal skills and can not develop any here in the US, (thanks to the public school system) called the Rebel consumer alliance. something to allow people to take back control over our lives, and allow the little disconnected people to level the playing field on the "too big to fail" businesses like walmart and the like go ahead go and check out the page for tips on the whole process lol www.rebelconsumeralliance.comI only bring that all up so you know I am not angling to make a personal profit only off you. if I can help with out it costing me more than a bit of time talking with you and sharing ideas, to allow you to be more effective in taking back that control it helps us all, in the long run, myself included So don't be afraid to contact me and discuss business, and the making of things. talk is as they say cheap, and in this case darn near free, but an idea who's time has come is a mighty thing indeed |

man your location plus the look of your place reminds me of my friend josh that lives in plano lol. exactly the same images would be had from him from the looks of your placement on your fridge and all. only thing missing is the mess from the 5 dogs and however many cats he has adopted to save lol. I have to wonder if he would be interested in any of the stuff you are making. will have to contact him and see since he is a LOT closer to you, than he is to me XD. *(and I am not quite ready to invest in all that 80/20 tubing hardware, lol, just not sure it is really necessary XD)

The goggles look very steampunk-like is that a bad thing? lol on the case work I am doing, here is an update and obviously another option I can do for a custom spacing on an open air case you already bought from someone else and want to make it a bit more accommodating for your specific needs ---------------- new holes punched and modifications to the rail for the power supply support, so either position can be used now, allowing for separating two supplies that have fans on top of them for air flow to reach the top of the powersupply on the bottom (and a shot of what that rail started life like earlier last night lol)    |

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4NHOk6z24Iyoutube video of a pair of custom dual layer lenses that produce that lighting effect off them, that the eyeware that Doctor Octavius from spiderman was wearing, (or those who know who he is, doctor steel) lol this pair though the secondary reflection of lights is a solid red image instead of being what ever color the light is, so you have two reflections running opposite directions from each other, one natural colored and the other deep ruby red. and yes the lenses were very deep red to look through, as will be any new ones I make for anyone for any other videos I have up you can browse my channel here: https://www.youtube.com/user/morphtrust

oh I should add that besides sheet metal tools for much of the stuff I am working with, (the bar in the last pic is a very hard alloy that a 16gauge sheet metal bender just can not get a decent bend on or grip if so little is available to bend on it) I also have a CNC mill and lathe I can be coaxed into getting on to make some custom parts, either for cases or anything else, including maybe some custom tooling for someone making cases and wanting a short cut that saves them a lot of time and gets them a precise action like shaped hole cutting or something, Not shown it yet but I have several cutters that allow me to cut square and rectangular holes of various sizes too, all custom made from off the shelf tooling so I can replicate it for anyone wanting something removed super secret pics lol. |

working on some more case design components for those that might be interested, right now it is all hand made and what not, but still very effective at solidly holding the two powersupplies in place, and I am about to add more holes to everything so a top fan on the bottom supply will have plenty of air space to work with if two of those sort are used, thus leaving the option to stack them ontop of each other or spread them out with one at the very top of the case and one at the very bottom (top as in under that top bar, not way up where the legs are at to attach a second case on top to stack them up )  if anyone is interested in cases too, and willing to deal with the issues that come from hand formed parts partially, as I get this design down, you can get them for a lower price and get a lot of extra goodies like hard drive mount brackets and what not too, just let me know what you are needing |

man I wish you did trades, though since I am guessing you are selling this off to help pay for your own hardware I know that is most likely out of the question otherwise I would offer to trade you some titanium goggles lol. (or some case parts for open air mining rigs but you live to far away to make that even remotely economical for you lol, I know cause I have sold a ton of my goggles and masks to the EU and UK and the post office really rakes you over the coals for shipping. By the way I want to see pics of your set up once you get your half built and set up XD I am guessing it is going to be AWESOME!! Sure! Titanium goggles? for Skiing or something? Got pics? Where do you live, at least i can calculate shipping costs well for driving and what not, cause they would be uber cold even with how good titanium is at not conducting heat compared to say even iron let alone aluminum copper or silver lol, here are some pics       (folded up for storage)  Really wish they had spoiler tags here to hide things like photo dumps from those not wanting to see them lol. |

ok had it pointed out to me that some PS's have a fan on top of them so I am going to put another set of holes to mount the top PS up as far as it can go to leave a couple inches between the bottom of the top supply and the top of the bottom supply to allow for air flow. will post pics shortly. but basically the power supplies will be able to be mounted in either orientation to allow for adding say an optical drive over top the second supply if you have supplies that only have fans and vents on the front and back of them, any thoughts about making a power supply add on for the sides? or just make the whole thing longer? deeper? what do you guys prefer? |

lol indeed, I saw pairs of servers that had two quad core xeons for sale for like 200 bucks for the pair, been really thinking about landing a few of those, and they have dual pcie slots for video cards too, so if I can get gridseed asics that run off either a smaller pcie (1-8x) or USB I could have all the bases covered with that set up lol. sorry to clarify it was 200 bucks to get two machines that each had two quad core processors in them so total of 4 16x pcieslots, and 4 processors that were quad core so total of 16 cores lol. they had all the other stuff too other than harddrives which are pretty cheap saving that kinda money on hardware means one would end up with a LOT more money to dump into custom asics like these from gridseed. XD XD |

lol lots of practice and sacrificing my life to the skill gods  incidentally to keep from constantly posting I will update this post in a few minutes with more case progress pics, and ask now, Does anyone have a dead am3+ motherboard that would be good for mining rigs (if it was not dead) that they would be willing to part with for shipping so I can get accurate measurements to do hole placements on the cases I am working on? as it stands I am shipping the one in the picture (when done) with out those holes and he is going to have to drill them himself as well as tap them, (should be easy to tap with the motherboard offset units I am sending but still would be nice to be able to just do this in advance. and I have to get one before I could even consider doing this to sell them to anyone interested since most people would not have the skills to do the drilling/tapping thing *or time if they have the skills and tools* or else they would just be building their own cases lol. let me know if anyone is able to help me out. I can paypal the cash or I could trade you something in exchange for the motherboard mounting info, (if you are interested in a case and want a discount I would do that too, to cover costs for shipping me a board broken or not *and if not, then cover shipping back to you with your case any help out there? beuler? ***ok here are the pics I promised    the mounting rail is made of some incredibly hard architectural aluminum alloy mostly by hand and with a custom tool I made for making goggle rims lol so it is a bit rough, if I get into this more seriously I will definitely look into building an endless angle bending device similar to it, *the custom tool, just puts a ridge pushed in from one side, extruded out the other side while keeping the rest of the sheet flat to add rigidity to the sheet and allows for custom radius bends to make tubes with a ridge sticking out of them again to add that rigid aspect. |

wow awesome I wonder what is going to happen when new encryptions come out that actually change enough that a hard wired chip will not handle it, is there maybe thought going into a cpu like chip on a board like maybe something like the CPU that is used on pi's or other developement boards like the a15 with quad core system, so they can be pipelined to speed up their hashing power or something? or maybe the actual chips from AMD that are used on the video cards to make a hybrid GPU/asic or something? going to be very interesting and I am tracking down the origins of the gridseed chip so I can watch that developers progress and new tech thanks to these guys and zoom hash's threads making me aware of their product, just wish I could get my hands on a few that is for sure. lol. OP interested in trading for some cool stuff ? XD |

wow that "hot mess" you have there should be on iStock photo selling and renting site to charge people selling cases for the whole "before" photo type thing LOL I love it, looks like my workbench on any typical day though sadly I do not have the awesome computer equipment that you have, just tools and supplies for making my goods that I hope one day I can sell enough of so I can build a hot mess like you have XD
