converting old wiibox a1 btc miner into a 6 gpu rig (WIP)

well i took the time to tell the story on the pics thru imgur.  dont have a lot of time today to mess with this.. Will get back to it tomorrow.  Just thought id share what ive got going on so far.  Turns out its working really darn well.  Thanks for taking the time to check it out.  Ive got over 20 of these A1 cases plus i have 40 of the gridseed a1 litecoin miners.. i might start parting with them.  If i dont use them up myself (wishful thinking)  Anyway check it out.. This is def going to keep my rigs cool in summer.. Or at least help a bunch.  lot less power consumption than using big fans blowing at my rigs.

Thank you:). It's a one owner my father purchased when he worked for gm. 454 ls6 numbers matching car. Only has 21384 miles on it.  Still in my moms name.  Working on getting it running great again as it's sat for a number of years since my dad passed away.

If they're using the same Delta fans the Innosilicon A2 units used, the 3 fans use a total of a bit MORE power than a standard box fan.

 On the other hand, LOTS of airflow should help keep the cards cool.

Not sure which ones you speak of.. these are not delta fans.. they are 1.2A@12V  three totaling 43.2 watts.  Most box fans i know of are almost double that minimum.  They really put some air thru this case.

theres the pic of the fans inside this case.  I dont think thats bad at all.  considering antminer s-9 fans are 2-3 amps.  Consisting of two fans.  Plus this is much better directed over the cards than a box fan.  Win win if you ask me.
