I PM'ed you before and after the thread opened. Am I an the order queue?
Thanks
Yep. |

Received my kit today Rich. Thanks again for changing it up for three mini's.
It's simple enough that I assume there are no special instructions. Let me know if there is though.
I'll take a picture or two when it's together.
I think jedimstr's pictures (above) are all you need in order to figure out what's left to put together.  |

What all is included as far as mounting the board to the case and the blades to the tabs?
Michael
All fasteners are included i.e. standoffs, bolts, nuts, etc. |
|
|

One of the best i ve ever seen
What type of material have you used ?
Aluminium ?
Thanks. Yes, all aluminum. |

The prototype is done. EDIT: Updated pics:   As pictured, the case is $90. Subtract $12.50 if you only want one support beam and another $18 if you don't want the twelve metal tabs to attach fans to the case. I'll create a For Sale thread in a couple of days. In the mean time, feel free to PM if you are interested. For Sale thread for this is up: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=347231.0 |

For Sale - Open air cases for ASICMiner backplane and blades. As pictured, the case is $90 (plus shipping from NH, US). PayPal only. Subtract $12.50 if you only want one support beam. Subtract $18 if you don't want the twelve metal tabs to attach fans (3x 120mm or 2x 140/200mm) to the case. +$5 for extra tall posts for stacking. The top corners of the blades are secured to the case via custom plastic brackets. Two posts with rubber bumpers help secure the PSU. Send me an email (rchomiczewski at gmail.com) to purchase. |

are the stackable.... does it leave enough room for the power cord up top
Yes, this can be made stackable. I just need a measurement of the total height of the PSU with the power cord. |

Can anyone here sent details from the board holes
Because I want to install one custom cooler
And I need dimension of the holes at chilli board
+1 I wish every ASIC board manufacturer would publish this information (it would make my job a lot easier). |

I'm planning for 6 200mm fans 3 push/ 3 pull
There is only enough room for 4x 200m fans in push/pull. |

No problem. A slight variation of the open-air case I designed for Drillbit Systems would work (note the custom mounting brackets that are used to attach the corners of the card to the support beams).    |

Looks interesting.
Can this be stacked or mounted in a rack?
Absolutely (with two more posts). In fact, all of my cases are stackable e.g.:    |

can those fan banks be moved forward or backwards to bring them closer to the h boards?
No, but you can move the two beams that support the m-board closer to one bank. Then with the other bank, you add spacers with longer bolts in order to place those fans closer to the cards. |

A proper case to mount everything to would do it: Send me a PM.  I have two of his custom bitfury case's and work great. I've been eyeing them for over a month. I am currently trying to figure out how to use that top plate to keep the cards from moving in the PCIe slot. Is it close enough for double sided tape? That is what the top plate is designed to do. Underneath the plate is some foam rubber, which gently presses down onto the top edges of the h-cards, to keep them steady. |

Oh, and going back to physically stabilizing the cards, did anyone else think to use the mount-holes on the H-cards to bind them together using bolts, dowels, or something similar? I imagine it would be quite tedious to set up and you would want to make sure the cards where working well first...

Anyone interested in an open-air case for ASICminer blades?
Each blade is secured to the tray via a custom plastic bracket. The beam that the brackets and fans are attached to could be mounted on the opposite side.
Any comments/suggestions?
p.s. Does anyone have an accurate drawing of the backplane mounting holes?
I'm glad to see that you are thinking about doing this! But any case I'd use would need to accommodate the HP server PSU mounted on the end of the backplane. Your design doesn't seem to allow for it. The PSU is tall and top heavy and needs something to hold in place so it doesn't wobble too much if you breath too hard in the general direction. Yep, the final product will have support for the PSU. All I need to know is by how much the PSU overhangs the backplane and the dimensions of the PSU itself (in millimeters, please). |

Please enlarge the board in order to make room for mounting holes in all four corners (like the Klondike board). That way the boards could be mounted properly in an open-air case:  |

I'm starting this thread in order to gauge interest in a simple open-air case for Chili boards.   Naturally, the same basic design will work for any number of Chilis. Comments/suggestions? |
