Custom Made Mining Cases! [Made to your demands!]

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.

Considering to have it welded.

Carbon steel will be riged enough from something this small to not flex he's using tubular members

Why would you want the case to flex?

Part of the design spec is for it to be stacked. Once someone loads these things 10-20 units high cross bracingand rigity will be essential.

Now you are getting into some really messy stuff. After it is welded you will need to thoroughly wirebrush or sandblast before painting if you hope to stave off rust.

Maybe i missed this earlier in the thread, but how is the motherboard mounted to the case. Are you using a prebuilt MB tray?

I would be interested in a case like the original (low in height) for 2 PSU, 1 MB and 6 double wide GPU.

I would be interested in a bulk buy after buying one for testing purposes.

The motherboard is screwed into standoffs in the plexi glass also do you want fans? or just open air stack able ones are easy to do nice airflow in.

[Trini8ed]

Have a serious buying! when I buy the materials and make the case I'll take pics and show all my progress so you guys will get a feel for what your buying.

[Trini8ed]

Alright guys just got the plastic today as well with the corner braces and weather strip to give the cards something to rest on instead of sitting on metal hehe also the person who bought this design is Airwhale thanks for him so I could build the first case

Here are the pics guys:

Here is the design he wanted:









Here is the what I have done to the plexi to make it shiny:

Without sanding and blow torch:

Comparison between the 2 together:



Here is the plexi glass sitting on my bed:



Here is a better angle of the side of it:



Here is the screws and corner braces along with some weather strips for the cards to sit on (Look for my name lol):



Here is the receipts of the tap plastics trip as well as the lowes trip:



Here is the trash:



And a pic of my favorite energy drink!:

[Smalleyster]

Cool! Can't wait to see the progression to completion.

[Trini8ed]

Just did another piece here are the pics of my favorite blow torch and the comparison with the melted sides :3 also took some pics of the unfinished plexi glass. Hard to see the comparison since I didn't do a quick stroke with the flame making it more blurred.

Equipment (bought wrong sandpaper wears out almost instantly lol)



Unfinished Shit:

Just drilled the motherboard stand off screws and put a dead mobo on it XD Looks great so far ^_^

Absolutely fantababulous.

So you can craft rackmount versions?  I have a 42U rack and I would be interested in getting the whole thing as densely populated with cards as possible.

[mrbashfo]

Dang it looks amazing! Too bad I would never need one other wise I would definately order one from you too!

These cases are not strong enough for be put in a rack mount case these cases are made for shelf's not to be held in in some odd way unless you get a shelf in a rack mount server and put it there that would work good.

Very awesome - if I get serious about bitcoin mining I'll definitely go in for design #1

[Trini8ed]

Gonna order the metal tomorrow for the frame

[IlbiStarz]

Really really nice

I'd be interested to buy a few, but could you post more info and stuff? Size, pricing, stackability, pics with real cards in the case, etc. Maybe you should start a website, because I am confused between the different "versions"?

[bou707]

wow the cases look awesome,
would want one in the future
