This is a "drop-in" bracket (requires zero modifications to the case) to mount 7x GPUs and 3x 120mm fans at the front of the deep (25-inch) Rosewill server cases. This latest revision (version 4) supports all of the USB riser PCB widths. Features include: - The frame securely bolts to the sides of the case via existing holes.
- The three fan "cages" included with the case are re-used and bolted to front of the frame.
- There is ~40mm between the fans and the front of the GPUs.
- Space between GPUs is ~15mm.
- The GPUs end up being mounted as low as possible in the case i.e. the bottom of the mounting bracket rests on the floor of the case.
- USB risers (not included) are safely secured to the frame via two bolts (at opposite corners).
- Supports all USB riser boards.
- Ships as a kit (see assembly manual, below). All required fasteners are included.
- Only fits in either of the three Rosewill deep (25-inch) server chassis (note the 'L' in the model numbers):
As of October 2021, the lead time is ~2 business days. $80, plus shipping from Washington state (1-2 fit in a medium size flat rate box). PayPal only. Latest assembly manual (version 4)

I think that link you have is for the ATX model but you state that you need to EATX chassis. Will the ATX one work?

Yikes! No, the extra depth of the EATX model is required!

Been thinking along these lines with a 4u chassis for months after buying an 18u server rack. Can someone chime in on how loud this setup is? As always nice work!

This entirely depends on what fans you use. The GPU fans are very quiet but the stock fans in the rosewill may not be adequate for 7 gpus. I highly recommend replacing with 3 x ultra Kaze 3000 rpm fans.. The noise level is not too bad as it's quieter than server fans but if you want really quiet then look for more expensive Noctua fans. Think of it as white noise. They are too loud for office but not bad for garage and no high pitch noise like Antminer S5 or S7. Very nice white noises. Box fans are louder than the Ultra kazes.

Thanks. I guess my question more precisely was how well the enclosure muffled the hum of the gpus.

You won't be able to hear the sound of the gpus inside these cases unless you have super loud reference design gpus like AMD 290

But doesn't that case work as well? What makes it a worse choice?

I would like to buy one of the drop-in's. I PM'd Also curious if you have found any difference in running reference (blower style) cards vs. the classic 3/2-fan cards as far as temperature and performance goes?

I would definitely recommend swapping out the stock fans with stronger fans.

Is this still reversible to support blower style coolers?

Yes, you just need to let me know what version you want when ordering. I'm no longer building the reversible version.
