Well, here's a model for one PSU (mounted near the IO area).  Another area to mount a second PSU could be added to the other/nearest side of the frame. Or, for others reading this, no areas to mount PSUs is also a possibility.  What would pricing be for the model pictured and the 2 PSU setup? Sorry for 20 questions, just trying to get my budget finalized. The pictured frame (above) is $135, but you don't technically require the far posts and beam. So, $120 without. Two PSU version would be $130:  |

This all aluminum open-air frame for the ONDA B250 motherboard (8 GPU) is $65 USD .   PayPal only. Shipped from Washington state, US. The optional fan support beam is +$20, two for +$35 or four for +$50 (includes all required fasteners for 25mm thick fans). Lead time is currently 2-3 business days. What all would I need if I wanted to utilize all 12 GPUs? I imagine the tray would need to support two rows of fans, with the 2nd row cooling the 4 additional GPUs? Would there be room for two power supplies as well? I have another design to support all 12 GPUs. Do you require mounting the PSUs to the frame? If so, how many PSUs? 2 PSUs max, I'd like to mount them, but if it would take a lot of custom work I'll find one large setup or just not mount the 2nd to the frame.

Are these still available? Will be a couple weeks before I look at needing it, still waiting on the board to arrive and want to make sure it works fine before getting all the goodies for it.
Yes.  |

finally got it assembled and installed (it took me a few days since apparently I'm stupid and I tend to overtthink things - HOWEVER, I did assemble both of them even though I only have 1 case currently, so I didn't have to overthink it once i order my other case!)
I did have a question though - it seems with just a couple more pieces of aluminum you could put that mid row of fans back in the case - it seems to fit, but there isn't anything to bolt it too unless you were brave enough to just drill a couple holes in the side of the case (which I'm not brave enough to do just yet) and ....I'm no engineer - but I assume you are - would it be detrimental or beneficial to install that middle row of fans?
If the middle fans can fit with your GPUs, then go for it. |

What are the sizes of these new 2 PSU versions with Riser mounts? I assume they won't stack on previous designs that were for 1 PSU?
All of the two PSU models share the same footprint and all of the one PSUs share the same footprint. The one PSU model will/does also have the USB support beams. I just haven't added it to this thread just yet.  So with the stand and 2 single PSU rigs I previously purchased, is it possible to add the 2 PSU version to stack? Separately, can I add the riser support beams? You can't stack one onto two PSU models, or vise versa. A kit to add USB riser support to your existing frame is $10. Hmm, How about a base large enough for a 2 PSU Frame to Sit on, then some sort of Riser/Coupler to allow the smaller 1 PSU frames to sit on top of a 2 PSU base frame? I'm thinking about building a 2 PSU frame and what to add the riser base to my 2 existing 1 psu frames but I don't want to replace my frames to do this. Also is it possible to get additional clearance between the base of the riser supports and the mainboard? (Taller side posts) - Specifically I want enough clearance have up to a 165mm Heatsink on top of the CPU of the 2 PSU Frame. I have some ideas on a base with outriggers similar to one I got last time but I don't know if you have bandwidth to do something one-off, let me know. Ah, yes, all of that is doable. Please send me a sketch. If not too complicated, I should have the time. |

The two PSU mining tray now comes with two support beams for USB risers. This version is $105.  The risers can be securely fastened anywhere along the slotted extrusions (only 6 shown here).   PayPal only. Shipping from Washington State, US. |

The cost of the frame in Phil's videos was $135.
Not sure if it took Phil an hour to build just the frame or the frame and the rig.
With another pair of fan/radiator mounting beams (+$15) you could easily mount another 4x radiators along the top of the frame.

@Spotswood do you build custom sized frames to order? i have the onda b250 d8p but i want a low, wide frame with 2 psu support (and a mount for an add2psu board), 4x140mm fan mounts in back, plus a mount for 1 or two fan controllers. ive already done a frame out of wood and would basically want a recreation of it. Yes, I do custom/small modifications to my "standard" frames all the time. Please send me a PM. Thanks! |

Phil - I'm really loving the hybrids and just ordered 5 of the new 12 PCIe boards from letine - just really curious how you're going to mount those pesky damn heat sinks - that seems to be my biggest drawback for these, other than that I LOVE the hybrids, solid cooling for sure!
If I mount the 8 in the slots, there will be 8 sinks above those cards, so don't know how I'm going to put the other 4 AND their sinks in.
Right now I just have them jerry rigged on a new tier above them, but if I go with these new 12 card boards, well... guess I'll be able to workshop that issue when they arrive. It's going to be interesting for sure.
But that's what makes rigs fun IMO. I really love tinkering with these things.
spotswood has a good setup rack i posted 2 videos Yes saw the 2 vids - coming along nicely. I just don't think it will do the 12 cards. Visualizing it, it will do the 8 onboard cards, and the radiators will be mounted above those 8 cards on his expensive extra tier, but then I have slots for 4 more cards that need to go where the radiators are, so it won't work. And not crapping on spotwood, but for $200 for that case you said it took over an hour to build, for $200 that thing better build itself. The cost of the frame in Phil's videos was $115. Not sure if it took Phil an hour to build just the frame or the frame and the rig.

Came over to say really satisfied with the frames I ordered. Will order more. Only issue / constructive criticism I might have would be about the motherboard size. For example, I believe in the pics you have extended ATX ? If I take for example a "standard" 6 gpu motherboard like a biostar tb250 it won't fit properly with the standoffs. But no worries it still works, and even if your motherboard is weird, you can always drill new holes (really easy to do).
Overall review of the frames, 9.5/10. Takes me about one hour from scratch to everything installed ready to mine.
Ah, I see. The spacing of the beams can be adjusted (for less than normal depth boards) and the female-female spacers/standoffs can be bolted to just the motherboard (so the motherboard is supported over a beam). Oh, and I will start to include some extra spacers/standoffs in order to do just that. Sorry! |

Phil, Your frame for the Onda 250 board is on its way to you.  |

The optional fan support beam is +$20 or two for +$35 (includes all required fasteners for 25mm thick fans). Lead time is currently 2-3 business days. its this the two support beam setup?  No. The image you quoted I thought would be a good setup for your radiator cooled GPUs. Or, the radiators could be mounted horizontally over the GPUs. Whatever you want Phil.  |

Is the irony completely lost on you that you're requesting paypal only for something someone would use to mine cryptocurrencies?
Nope. I get it. Accepting only PayPal helps keep me sane (in these insanely busy times). |

Looks good!
Would certainly help clean up the rats nest I currently have:
...
Any pics of the fan support beam with fans installed? I'm having a hard time visualizing where they would mount exactly.
The fan beams would pretty much look the same as the ones for the 6 GPU Onda board:  |

I finally had time to design and build a frame for the Onda 8 GPU board: The FS thread is up as well. Thanks Phil! |
