Gauging interest: 6 GPU 19" Backplate with direct connected PSU.

[efficienthash]

I'm just gauging interest.

I have a custom Backplane that

• fits into 19"
• can mount up to 6 GPUs
• powered by plugged in 1500W Plat 94% PSU (no cables between PCB and PSU, direct connected)
• it has 2x8PINs on the PCB per GPU Slott, to draw extra Power for the external PCIe GPU, close by the GPU - so all cable length are short and identical
• is connected via USB 3.0 Cables to any 6 Slot Board (like the usual Risers)
• has the option to connect a picoPSU via Board
• has the option to remote control via rasperyPi (on/off & Output Wattage mesaured)

I wonder if others would want such a package and would appreciate some offers via PM. It would include

* 1500W Plat 94% PSU
* Backplate
* USB Cables
* PCIe external GPU power cables 6x (2x 6+2) splitter cables

If you are real and legit,  I would offer escrow services  for your product.

I also offer to test and demo one for you to show that it is legit.

I would offer you the same deal I offered pandaminer to demo the product.



 That  deal was send it to me upfront ie trust me.
 I do a review  post the review and theb pay for it .
 My discount from them was about 1.3%  30 bucks to be exact.


the review thread helped to launch their product.

Hi, did you make a prototype? If so could you post pictures of it? Also just to be sure I understand this. You are trying to make a 6 gpu miner that runs off a rasberry pi instead of a motherboard/cpu/ram combo? If you are and you manage to make it work I think a lot of people would be interested. Also just a small input from me: could you make it so they're are 2 sets of 3 fans (6 total) 3 infront of the gpu and 3 in the back. Or make a setup like the panda miners for closed looped liquid coolers.

Thanks

No it works from rgular 6 PCI-e slot mobo if you read carefuly. You can just connect Pi to control all thing.

So it's still gonna need to have a motherboard,cpu etc?

[kurbeks]

Yes. That's what i understood

[efficienthash]

Yes, you still need a MB/CPU/Ram. ;-)

The PI is just to remote control the Rig and measure the Wattage. One PI can mng. several Rigs.

Pics?

[philipma1957]

Pics?

this is basically   six risers  on a backplane fully powered by a server psu  using six  usb cables to connect to the mobo.

so all the pcie cables go by-by if done right  it replaces

the psu
the risers
the pcie cables ---- are short  from back plane to cards.
I would guess it has an option for a pico psu.

if you buy a server   psu like the hps-1200

http://www.ebay.com/itm/141720603862?

you need a breakout board
a lot of pcie cables
powered risers
and a pico psu for the mobo

he is offering  a better package then all of the above.

If the price is good and it works it would be nice to have.

[cavaliersrus]

interesting idea you can trust phil as an escrow he is a very nice person

[Theneogeo]

You have a picture of product?

[Spotswood]

You have a picture of product?

A simple mechanical drawing or 3d model would be nice. 

[Jamievs]

All depends on what the price is and were you are shipping from..

[thedreamer]

Yeah.. Still need pics... Otherwise it's vaporware.

The PCB looks like this:

[thedreamer]

It looks good and neat, but that is an awful lot of power going through the traces in the PCB. Is that safe even?

[efficienthash]

Yes, 'german engineering' if that helps. ;-)
My main reason for building the PCB - is avoiding the Risers fire hazard fun and all the cables.
