Does anyone have experience getting a mining frame/case from cryptomined.com?

[saltyminer]

I am looking to get buymultiple8 cases from cryptomined (link below). Has anyone purchased from cryptomined before? I considered buying just 1 case from them to see how it goes, but the shipping is expensive since its coming from China and it is more economical to ship multiple units at the same time.

I currently have my rigs set up in a tent with hot/cold sides and I want something with more directed airflow.  I currently have my rigs set up homemade open air wood frames but the summer's here are brutally hot and I would like to have more control over venting waste heat.

Here is a link to a case I have my eye on:

I ordered a 4u server case from cryptomined.com and paid for it over a week ago. It hasn't shipped yet, nor has the seller given me any expectation of when it will ship. Ive emailed to ask for an estimate. I'm a little bummed it's taking this long with no updates. I'm happy to share my experience when I get the case.

Interested too. Are the 3 x 3500 fans enough to cool 8 gpu’s?

It's now been more than 2 weeks since I paid for my order from Cryptomined.com.  All I ordered was a case.  When I placed the order, I should have asked how long it takes to ship out.  According to my order status page, the case hasn't even shipped out yet.  I've emailed 2 times asking when my order will ship, and I have received no response at all. 

Before I purchased, the Cryptomined.com owner was replying to emails within hours.  After he got my payment, he seems to have vanished.  I've read other forums with similar long delays from other buyers.

One member above has the same experience, let's wait and see. It's possible they build that case only when someone was ordering it (PO).

With the right airflow direction, those fan's can handle all GPUs on the case. Basically, on closes case, heat generated by GPUs and other parts would be collected and will push by front fan's and drew by the rear fan's.

Hey guys/gals,

My case did arrive after approximately 3 weeks.  I never got a response, but the item shipped from China and arrived safely.  It looks pretty sturdy, the lid was slightly warped but I was able to bend it to where it needed to be.  My next step is to move everything from open air rig into the 4U server case.  My extra credit project is to vent the exhaust heat outside via duct during the warm weather months (which will be here very soon).

Thanks for the update.
How about you OP? You can decide to buy it now since russellvb has confirmed that the case has arrived safely. Or may you have purchased it?

Everyone should have received their cases or tracking in their store order.
Cases are generally ordered in on demand, should ship out 2-3 days after ordering, but it depends what else was ordered with them.  Orders with T-shirts, keychains, flags, or anything else that may need restock could take slightly longer.
delivery time would vary if its EMS or DHL.

I ended up getting two different cases from Newegg (I used a business account).  I have a 4U case now with 6 cards and soon will be moving over another rig to an 8 card case.  The 6 card 4U case does keep the card temps nearly identical or slightly lower than an open air rig.  It's almost summer here and I will be moving all my rigs into a tent soon with 4 inline fans (2 intake / 2 exhaust).  It is currently over 90F inside my garage now with 30+ gpu's and about 75F ambient outdoor temps.  I already have a tent that I used last summer and it worked great.  I will post some pics with temps once I move everything into the tent and organize everything.

If I do order more cases then I will buy them from cryptomined to give some support back to the community.  It took almost 3 weeks to get the cases delivered from Newegg as well.

Here is a pic of the 4U case with 6 x 1080's.
