Any update on availability price for the dual/triple rig setups? Your stuff looks pretty amazing and I'm looking for something for my october kits.
$250 for the open-air triple i.e. no sheeting. This version is just wide enough to where it could sit on a shelf in a rack. 120mm fans could be mounted in front of each rig and a couple of PSUs along the back.  And stackable, of course.  |

Any word on doing cases for them Barntech?
I've sent Barntech a PM, requesting mechanical drawings.  |

That looks really nice, especially with the fans. What size fans are those? 140mm?
Thanks. 120mms. |

is looks like its 4 cards per mobo and 2 power supplys for each motherboard that i count 2 mobo. am i seeing that right?
Yes. |

Someone who does not respond to emails to potential buyers is someone who does not want to sell. Mail sent 7 days ago and still hope to answer the total cost for ordering.
oh, and i wanted to buy one pretty soon too ... I somehow missed his/her email, I sent a PM to fix this.   |

I have a custom case for that -see sig
@spotswood
I can send you drwawings or 3d part of board when Iam at home.
cheers

All I need is a simple drawing. Thanks! |

Hey Rich, can you hook me up with one of those metal plates to secure the PSU in place. I have a V1 case. I might be interested in a V2 case once I score another 25 G kit.
They are the same plates used to mount the fans. You will need to acquire a couple of #6-32 bolts (1/4-inch) and some washers to attach the tab to the PSU. |

Please provide a mechanical drawing of the board so others can build cases for these.  |

I had a bunch of issues with mine when I first set them up due to fans. They caused the boards to vibrate slightly and that killed my hashrate.
I moved the fan a LOT further away where they just keep the air moving around the cards. Now there's no problem.
You might be seeing a similar issue depending on your setup.
Ha! I thought this could be the reason, vibration induced by the flow, so I removed my fans from Spotswood case. I'll try to have them reversed, so that they suck up air through the cards instead of pushing it, this should cause less vibrations. We'll see. spiccioli Or you could put a bit more downward pressure onto the top edges of the h-boards by "raising" the rig a millimeter or two, by putting washers underneath each spacer ( between the extrusion and the spacer). |

Is anyone making these? Spotswood perhaps? Does anyone else have an interest in a case of some kind? I need mechanical drawings of the backplane and hashing boards. I've sent PMs and emails.... |

Will these work for asicminer blades or no?
No, but the same material could be used to house those. Is there a mechanical drawing of one of those blades? |

This is great. I've been thinking about something similar the last few days.
What if there was a back plane PCB engineered that had mounting holes? Could
you stand the miner up and fit three of them together without fans in between? At least
that is what I was envisioning.
thanks.
Sorry, but I don't understand. Please post a sketch. Just goggled 3u Server case and realized that you would probably not be able to stand it up. Laying the miner sideways doesn't seem to provide good airflow. I am interested in a case where you can fit 3 Bitfurry Miners though. 3u server chases wouldn't be suitable. I'm also working on an open-air tray with a width to fit a 19-inch rack and a depth to hold 3 rigs (and a PSU). |

I would love an enclosed case for my October order. Enclosed w/vents and optional fan mounts. Any plans for that?
Great work, by the way!
Thanks. An enclosed version might happen...will probably just be another option, consisting of another post (to go next to the PSU) and some al sheeting. |

Version 2 price is $100USD (flat packed) $140 (assembled), plus shipping from New Hampshire, US. To order, send an email to rchomiczewski at gmail.com. Optional fan tabs (with all required fasteners), sets of are: x4 - $5 (for 2 fans); x6 - $8 (for 3 fans). Optional end caps are $.55 each. A mounting plate for the RaspberryPi is +$10 (for when the rPi and m-board are connected via a ribbon cable). Version 2 details: - PSU is bolted to the tray via two fan mounting tabs.
- Fan mounting tabs are an option
- Fans can be mounted to either the top beam and/or the front/back of the tray
- Case has the same footprint as V1 i.e. stackable on V1 and V2
- Compatible with V2 and V3 m-boards.
Pictures (fans not included; fan mounting "tabs", end caps and rPi mounting plate are options):     |

Here's the V2: Just like the V1, these are stackable (any conbination of V1 and V2). Here's how multiple trays are fastened together: |

Yikes! Never saw that mounting orientation of the rPi on the US m-boards coming.  Going to have to use a cable with that board. |
