What's the footprint of this case? Trying to figure out what fits where in a smallish wiring closet.
H x W x D: 8.5 x 21.125 x 9.5 inches

That looks really good. How well does the case hold the h-boards steady?

I'd move the two beams supporting the m-board in the opposite direction of the RaspPi, and re-adjust the top hold down. It looks to me like they are they are too close to the "front" edge, and if you want to move them back there's probably a good 6 inches or so to spare in that direction.
Also, there should be sufficient room to route the PSU cables under the m-board - they shouldn't need to snake around the RPi like that.

![Shocked](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/shocked.gif) Nice. The mounting plate for the rPi was really only intended for v1 m-boards and the use of the ribbon cable. I'm open to suggestions for how to properly mount the rPi to the case for v2 boards. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) The posted assembly instructions is for v1 m-boards and needs to be updated for v2. ![Cry](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cry.gif)

Yeah, I'm hoping I got the height just right (not too tight or too loose).

No, but the same material could be used to house those. Is there a mechanical drawing of one of those blades?

The BFs don't seem to run better without a whole lot of cooling, so I've simplified the design a bit.
If you're doing a v3 make it shorter than 475mm so it can fit in a rack between the posts -mounting the psu in the middle instead of 1 of the fans shoudl do it ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Someone who does not respond to emails to potential buyers is someone who does not want to sell. Mail sent 7 days ago and still hope to answer the total cost for ordering.
