I have two complete cases without any modifications of any kind. Shipping from 97229. PM me if you want them!
Sent you a PM.
Again what I'm using them for is to take Server PSU's (94% Efficiency and Platinum Units) and get like 2680 watts (2 psu's in a slide in backplane and modded cables for such)
or up to 3200 watts depending on the PSU's I snag (usually they are or anyway have been at around 95 to 125 usd each some new most used..backplates are an extra 40 bucks
or so ..then of course wire and connectors)
So instead of paying 300 bucks on
www.newegg.com on their once a month sale of Corsair 1200i Platinum 91% efficiency PSU) of $300 usd with shipping on sale
and you can pay with BTC....at 2680 watts to 3200 watts ...double the power! So essentially 1/2 price.
I can MAKE the above for around 300 bucks and with 5 leads that come with the backplate have 94% efficiency dual PSUs in the backplate and pop all this in a Mercury/Saturn/Jupiter
case as the below link shows and the links within that have more details....
May as well get the info out there on a use for these cases ...it is not like I can use much more of them...its not like Titans are falling out of the sky on Unicorns anymore
Then again this might be a good solution for GPU Ether rigs I guess..anyway here is the link to the hack again
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1283859.msg15534011#msg15534011kinda klutzy...but still a better way to move them around once they are built..using the KNC cases......so far had 2 running more then 2 months without issue
But if you have such a case laying about and do a little eBay looking and some wire modifications...it is pretty slick
I managed this year to get 7 new knc Titans ..one was a corp dump of 2 on eBay new as buy it now on eBay for 3.5k never used in the box....likely they lost the knc
lawsuit and it was to get the 5k in damages to knc paid back for the loss they had as well as the 1.5k for each titan submitted....(that musta sucked) split it with Maxumark.
Then got 6 of the 24 with Maxumark of the super secret KNC Liquidation Auction..this last month....thus 1 300mh 4 cube Titan (summer one) and then another 6 KNC 400mh new 5
cube Titans (1900 each but with damages and shoddy temp workers they really get about 363mh ave).....you have to know titans ...I guess the 2nd auction
of the 160 titans (changed to open bid ..you can see the price after we killed on 1st 24 on the open auction we got whale crushed by knc insiders imho)
all 160 titans were made new by crummy temp workers and all weremade and tested at 400mh for 1/2 hour without thermal pads!!!! thus why we are average 20% damage on these
units... with crummy shipping boxes damage also why we get now a 363mh average hash rate per 400mh titan....knc: we do evil
well (tm knc)...tough to see all them NEW cubes with on the aveage 1 fried dc/dc as a result....dumbasses 1 die down per cube on a most.
So anyway that is 7 units or 14 psu's needed of the traditional type after all this
Anyway, that COULD have been 14 corsair 1200i new units from
www.newegg.com at 300 bucks each if I hit their 1 a month sale on such with rebates and paid with BTC
of $4,200 bucks in PSUs! Add the 2 Titan 5 cubes I have that I want to convert to same that is $5,400.00 of Corsair 1200i units I would need at the sale price as best price.
With the above hack and the Jupiter cases that would be if I converted all (still have to do 3 of them) that would be $2,700 and I gain with 94% efficiency and
also have 2680 to 3200 dual psu units with 5 leads and most important have 15 awg wire vs 16 awg wire and I DON'T HAVE TO USE THE KNC Y ADAPTERS anymore direct plug to cube.....and they run cool to the touch without due to overkill on the psu wattsand of course 2560 and 3200 watt dual psu's in the Jupiter Case is a lot more pop then Corsairs at 1200 watts too boot.
anyway I digress...but there is a method to my madness...so just to get it out there because I likely can't buy all the cases (the price above did not consider
the ave price of 30-35 bucks a case in shipping etc I've been getting them for..that is an aside and people here have been offering them at no cost just shipping)
Well anyway kick it around for a possible use of your cases.....in that everyone has been just letting me have them for just shipping costs (thanks) I likely will
not need many more (heh) ...So check out my hack for a use for such
But it was a damn fine way for me to get kick ass psu's at double the watts and better efficiency at 1/2 the price let me tell you a $2,700 usd savings before
you add the Mercury/Saturn/Jupiter cases I bought...so a pretty big savings for me...likely a pretty big savings for anyone making GPU rigs for ETH or ETH Classic
as well ...
anyway just a thought for you all as a project for your old cases...you can still ask if I want some..if nothing else I'll make a list and if someone wants to contact me
on doing the PSU hack (link above) then I can refer them to you to get a case.....not a big deal ...can try to be helpful I guess on this.they are too cool to toss otherwise
so I can pass along any extra if someone asks about my psu hack
thanks ...hope the above helps someone (even an evil gpu miner .....grrr.....)
later
