[FS] All aluminum open air case for BitFury miners

[Spotswood]

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.

   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.  

The posted assembly instructions is for v1 m-boards and needs to be updated for v2.

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

... of that sounds fine ... i will remove that plate ... its unnecessary in my opinion as the raspberry seems to hold good on the m-board ... i will start mounting the fans ... today ... and show again some pictures ... :-) i have a fan controller so i can turn them off as for now it seems the miner is performing best without to much cooling ...

[darkfriend77]

... finished it ... and running ... at night ...

even if the fans are better turned off for hashing ... gg

.. it looks great ...

Will these work for asicminer blades or no?

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

[astutiumRob]

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

In fact, there is a special price right now for a 4 pack of cooler master fans on amazon right now.
