Here's what my cooling solution is on the 6U tell me what you think? ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fdl.dropbox.com%2Fu%2F13699180%2FCustom-Cases%2FColing-6U.png&t=665&c=DOHhdWGPQj_ZNQ) The design is nice, but be careful in putting more than 1 fan as you do in the lower intake: if don't do some calculation there is the risk that a fan blow more air than the subsequent can move and so you introduce only a brake that slow down air flux. Is better to use a single well dimensioned fan in the intake and one in the exhaust.

I am assuming the people who install the fans will use delta 230 cfm fans

The designs look interesting, I’m wondering if you sold it as a kit instead of assembled if you could save on shipping some. *spelling correction for post from smartphone*

On the 6u case design [which looks amazing], how much are you looking for it?

Here is the design I have came up with for bluefirecorp! This design is stable on top of each other! Picture Of Design! ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fdl.dropbox.com%2Fu%2F13699180%2FCustom-Cases%2FNew.png&t=665&c=tfgr5vwvWAVAvg) Air made for external exhaust cards!

I think those images are flipped; the intake fan on reference cards is on the other side.

Lets get serio0us ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) This last one of yours - how much you ask for one? How much is international shipping to poland? And .... where do the2 power supplies go? ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) Willing to give 1 a try... if anything else does not work out it isa nice test cae for trying out new hardware outside of a stackable component. IF things work out, I have to stack them up quite high to build a wall ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

I'm building It out of aluminum not wood. a triangular bracing structure wouldnt be a bad idea if his aluminum was plate or rod but since he's using tubular aluminum he should be fine for somehting as small as a computer case.

I think I may add some triangle braces but it adds more to the total cost to make :/

build one and see what kind of loads it can take put a known weight(approximate bricks/books lifting weights if you have them ect..) on it in multiple orientations if it needs the bracing and you do it slowly you'll see it start to buckle before it fails if not you can take the picture as proof it's not necissary.

Just found out I can make it out of carbon steel for the same price! The only price that will change is the cost to ship it because its a heavier metal

Carbon steel is wonderful stuff, but it rusts unless you paint it carefully. And you still have stuctural issues if you do not cross brace.
