New Rosewill Server Mining Case UPDATE 2 and we have more pics.

[Dhodge87]

I sourced a 4u server case with the same dimensions from Craigslist for dirt cheap and with some time and DIY I was able to get a total of 9 GTX 1060 cards in the case running stable at 22.8 MH/s @ 85w and staying at 70C each with the kid sealed..
I can get 8 of the 9 cards to run at 65C but card number 5 won't go below 68C, I'm pretty sure it's due to the spacing of my fans as it is the card with the fan against the side of the case.


Here is a video.

Very clever work.  I was impressed by your support bracket for the 2nd HP PSU and the PCIe expansion board which makes up for the blocked slot.  The one problem that I see is that bigger cards would push too far back to allow for the same orientation of the HP PSU.  But with smaller cards that's a nice setup.

What did you make the fan brackets out of?  I don't recognize what you are using and was wondering whether it's custom, or repurposed from something else.

I would try Delta fans if that is not what is shown in the video.

We have tried to use this case in a server rack style allotment and didn't really stand up to what it needed to do so we went with a custom design. But as to why we disliked it, the case as a whole doesn't seem to like letting cool air in or hot air out. No flow through the chassis on a consistent basis. This may be in part due to the foam in the front cover that folds down. It's better for airflow down but still not as efficient as I would like and also with the foam folded down, dust and another sediment can flow into your chassis with open cases. In addition, the crossbars will limit your use of GPU's to an extent but that won't be too much of an issue for many people.

That's interesting. I recently switch to a Rosewill server case and after all my modifications were said and done, I actually saw temperatures drop compared to my homemade open air frame. I did take the foam front off. I reversed all the fans and am using blower style cards. Air comes in the back and out the front. It's been working really well for me.

I like these custom 2nd psu mounts. I may have to try that. I have one PSU in the case and one that just sits on top - outside of the case.

My temps have been pretty good with founders edition cards so far:

I can see why you need three more 1080 ti FE's

I have two blower style PNY I can part with if you are interested.

Originally I was planning on stuffing my Rosewill case with 1080ti's, but instead will go the opposite way. 8x 1050ti need to go somewhere, so I will house them there.
