At some point your design is useless. 90% of peeps count to "overclock" the units. From fact here is a small space between boards people need use the extension cables to be able use heatsink + direct fans.

[Foofighter]

The space between boards is defined bei the standard mboard design, there is still space in the case to upgrade to a longer mboard lateron, as already meantioned the Standard hboard hab only a 30A capacitor and can not really be overclocked, this capacitor is also the biggest size for the footprint on the hboards.

interesting fact, for vulnerable people an unpleasant to know the chips can't run a full speed. From that POV you will have a nice heater for the winter, 16 boards at 45C look hot

Hey guys,
I decided to add 3 120mm Fans to all cases, so these are now included in the pricing.
I hope this saves you some trouble with sourcing fans on you own and the cable management of the fans.

I'm interested in acquiring one of these for an October order.

Have you settled on a final design ? I see according to the prototype photos, that the RasPi is directly attached to the M-Board, and not compatible with your case design.

I would be interested in a covered case, opposed to something exposed.

i'm also interested in the Rack Casing Design for October.

Hi,

open desin is final, rack design is semi finished(would  change the alignment of the inner parts probably to fit 2 mboards).

For sure it is compatible with my design, prototypes uses the wrong connectors and they are hopefully changed for the mass produced boards. Additionally you can mount the raspi at my design on the ground with a GPIO cable, this would be up to you.

It would be too expensive to add a cover to the open case design attempt, because i would have to make it more wide and also add fans to the cover to still have a forced airflow.

The only option would be the Rack design, which was supposed to have a cover anyway. From the timetable it would be possible to get Rack case prototypes in october as the production and order of parts would take about 3 -4 weeks until my design would be finished.

Many people here are talking about modded Rack cases to use for these attemts but I dont know any manufacturer which would make this alteration to a final Rack case(at least not here where I live), also the most final Rack cases which we can purchase on the market doesnt provide the necessary airflow because the lack of the necessary amount of 120mm Fans.

To summarize this:
I will think about that matter if this makes sense for me. I would try 2 attempts, to change an existing 19" 4U case and to ask for a whole new produced case.
But maybe I will first talk to spotswood(open case reseller), maybe we can work together in this matter.

Thanks for your interest guys! But for the moment i can only offer you the open case desgin.

Hey guys,

some News here regarding the purchaseable open cases.

Iam very happy to annouce that I can reduce the price for each open case to: 145 EUR

Today I discussed the whole project with a manufacturer who could do all necessary steps of manufaturing on his own to finish the cases at very competitive prices.

Before that the price was based of raw case which i had to transport to a welder and then painted the cases, so as you could imagine that would have been a lot of additional work compared to the current solution.
I gave the whole saving directly to you, so you have a more competitive price for a good product.

So i hope now with this price the cases are getting sold a bit faster.

regards
Tom

Is delivery still planned for September?

[Foofighter]

with this new manufacturer there is a bigger possibility that i could shipped the cases in last week of august. I would try my best to manage this.

EDIT: I dont wanna make any promises i cannot hold, so i have to stay with my conservative statement here, but i think its possible
