Hello!

I'm going to start designing and manufacturing a cooled case for my soon to come Block erupter blades.
Trying to ask here if people would be intrested in buying these cases once I start to manufacture them?
Purpose of these cases is esthetic, so mainly suggested for people without some storage rooms where to keep them running.


One case would hold 1-5 blades, PSU and enough room for fans on top of the blades.
Also 2x200mm fans. 1 for intake and 1 for outake. Not sure about the blade amount/case yet, you'd need quite a PSU for 5 I think? Smiley
Could really use a protip for that.

I would only assemble these cases WITHOUT the BLADES and the PSU and ship them to you.

Pricetag is yet unknown as this thing is still in the designing phase. But considering the amount of work for one case. I'd say around
150-200 dollars. That would include the case and 2x200 fans

Let me know if you people are intrested. Also if you have in mind features you'd want, feel free to post suggestions.



About me:


I live in Finland and I work in a sheet metal subcontracting company, thus I have access to large
variety of sheet metal cutting and bending machines. I'm also able to use 3d designing program which makes it much easier
to start this project and helps in modifying the product in later phases. I will also post 3d model pictures once I get to that phase of the designing.

Some 3d program pictures of the case.
There are now 4 blades in it.
Case dimensions are: 300w x 353d x 247h
You can fit in any standard atx psu. Aslong as its max 300mm long.

Case will be made from aluminium for maximum thermal conductivity.

Blade fastening is still in the works. Will have to wait for my blade to arrive to finish this project.

I will post more pictures once the product starts to look alive

New blades don't need cases. They just need a box fan and its gg.

a rack to put them in to keep things neat is still nice to have.

Precisely.

Not everyone has a dark basement to keep their hashing units.  Smiley

I will make it for the old blades first. Once I get a working model I will start to implement changes towards compatibility for both new and old blade.
