Interior pics:   |

Looks like a great product. I love the sleek design. Do you mind taking a picture of front exhaust? I'm curious what it looks like.
I don't have interior pics just yet, but here is the model of the front door. The interior is lined with sound absorbing foam. Air enters the cabinet via the open bottom. I believe that making the door the way you intake and out take the air is wrong (it seems good on professional product tough). It require to much work and precision to make it effective. After thinking about it I plan to make my sound traps in the cabinet and I want to it to be removable and cleanable. To me, the best is to make big hole and use this component to connect the sound trap with the interior and the exterior of the cabinet. To make the soundtrap, I'm thinking about using plastic box with foam in side. To break the sound, polystyrene plate with foam stick on it. I may have 100% sound reduction  What is the program did you use to make 3D model ? EDIT : this is what i think of : then all you have to worry is make sure that air does not go out or in from doors. The most of the noise will come from the air flow I use Sketchup. |

I'm working on this kind of cabinet too.
To have better performance with the noise reduction you could use foam for the wall and sound trap for the intake and outcoming air.
Below and example of a sound trap.
That looks awesome. This current design attempts to strike a balance between noise reduction and cooling (with more emphasis on cooling atm). |

They are using two trademarks that they don't even own.  Edit: The "radiators" in the pics of the outside of the case don't look like radiators to me. |

Spotswood, are you using 80/20 parts for the frame?
Certainly looks like 80/20 parts I have seen in the past...
Its made from aluminum t-slot extrusions, not 80/20, but another vendor. |

First pics! (Pardon some of the protective paper).  Fresh air enters the cabinet from the bottom of the front door and exits out the top of the back door with a -10dB in noise. imageThis 8U quiet cabinet would be perfect for 2x Spondoolies-Tech SP30.  Cool man, this is exactly what one will need, to run some SP at home!!! I liked very much the idea with the vent duct, thus you can remove the hot air from SPs directly out from building. Does it come with a blower? It will not include a blower. You local home improvement store should have 'em in stock. |

wow that looks nice! Any idea on prices?
Thanks! Estimating the price for the quiet server cabinet to be around $1100, plus shipping (flat-packed) from New Hampshire. |

Anyone have a link for what mounting rails/ears? Or specs on what to buy?
Should add meant for Sp30.
The dimension allegedly are: D 554 X W 431 X H 88.4 mm. I'm personally considering buying this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/291075344625?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649Does anyone know if there will be any problem with plugging my 2 x SP30 at my apartment, in United Kingdom, to 230v 50Hz mains socket? Someone on the forum once mentioned something about some issue. But that "cabinet" is only 200mm deep. |

Good news...Manged to get a 10dB reduction in noise by applying 1/2-inch thick sound barrier to the top, front and sides. Interesting, any pics? When will you finish working on this project? Pics some time over the coming weekend. A suggestion: you're going to need to start planning how you will manage thermals in this thing, it's not something you're going to be able to tack on afterwards. Essentially what your proposing is an insulated box that will cover the miners right? Like a parka in July. You're probably considering this already, but thought I'd mention it in case you weren't. As far as thermal management goes it's very doable - here's the approach of one company : http://www.pathfindersystemsdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/towercool.pdf it looks fancy, but at the end of the day it's a simple matter of cool air in and hot air hot. These are very modular, so its very easy to add a thicker/ducted door, or add an exhaust hole on the top of the rear door (which I'm currently planning on doing), etc. |

+1 for 4x mounting holes. |

You wrote: Units are only stackable when mounted on their sides due to the interference of the PCI-E and Raspberry Pi wires. There's no way to route all of the wires through the end pieces? |

Enclosed rack cabinet my mistake for not clarifying. Which I understand about the airflow I've seen some that already have built in AC units but the price tag on them are a tad steep and I believe fans will do just fine as I keep the temp already at a steady 67f
Where are you located? My forthcoming 12u server racks might suit your needs. Here are pics of a prototype (just the frame):   Thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=634606.msg7071069#msg7071069-Rich |

I built a second, slightly taller prototype, in order to be able to use some extrusions to support odd-sized mining equipment, without having to purchase expensive server cabinet shelves. The locations of all of the posts and beams are fully adjustable. I still need to build "quiet" panels... |

Ten miners can fit on the top tier of this case (everything else on the lower tier):  Or, 20 miners in this one:  Send me a PM if your're interested.  |
