Any plans for a 10 blade + backplane frame?
We'd love to - can you link me to tech specs of the blades and backplane so we can take a look at the fabrication requirements? I'd be interested in a couple of these, also. |

Wish you guys were in the US. Shipping time and cost is way to much.

We are looking at it - unfortunately the costs of operating in the US are exhorbitant; moulding costs, warehousing, staff costs, and a metric ton of costs associated with compliance. We'd end up having to nearly double our price to be profitable. The only benefit would be faster shipping to our US clients. |

I'd love one of your racks but I missed your black friday sale so between that and shipping the US it's just outside my price range. Any chance you could extend the coupon code? I'd really appreciate it. From the pictures the racks look gorgeous.
Thanks.

Seconded, or maybe just a distributor: ship a selection of units as slowly/cheaply as possible and when someone in the US buys a unit the distributor ships it. If there's enough business the distributor may decide to buy a bunch and resell.
I think I know someone who would be willing to do this so PM me if you're interested.

I'm definitely open to suggestions, but for us to have a US reseller it would need to be someone we could trust not to mess up (too often), and we'd still have to incur the cost of some serious lawyering to govern the agreement. We do have it on our radar, amongst other things:)

also is there a chance you will make a rig that supports 2 motherboards?
and i would also suggest putting a small mounting plate behind the motherboard for the psu instead of using up precious space for gpus.

We answer both those questions in the FAQ tab on the product page, here are cut and pastes for your reference: Why is the PSU mounted on the side and not underneath the GPUs?We spent a lot of time testing various configurations, including rear-mounted offset PSUs, vertical motherboard mounting, and so on. We ended up with the following requirements: PSUs need to be easily accessible, all configurations need to support dual PSUs, and regardless of whether a single PSU or dual PSUs are mounted there should be no airflow deadzones or unusual hotspots. The design we ended up with met all those criteria. Can I mount two motherboards on an 8 GPU rig?No, it's not designed for that, and that sort of configuration doesn't promote easy access to hardware and doesn't fit in with our design ethos. You are, of course, welcome to do whatever you want with it once you receive it, but we'd prefer customers opt for a horizontal row of Arianna grid frames than trying to re-purpose something. Bottom line: we're not in the business of shaving a few cms off for a design that puts out customer's equipment at risk. Our designs are reasonably space efficient (I mean, look at their dimensions, it's barely a footprint) whilst ensuring excellent airflow with no dead zones. |

Got an email today from OpenRigs letting me know that my order is now in the fabrication process.
Just wanted to say that I love the customer service!

Ah sorry man - it was a 1 day only special:) We'll be running some specials in the new year, but our Bitcoin Black Friday special was huge, so we'll probably have to wait till next year's Bitcoin Black Friday to repeat that! |

True, but it would increase costs (additional PSU support bar), plus 85% of our customers only run 1 PSU, and lastly it creates what we consider to be an undesirable heat map in both a Giorgina stack and a Arianna grid. |

Thought as much. Ok you are keeping the same design for all rigs? I was just wondering as your cheapest unit ins't stackable.... so was wondering why the PSUs weren't spread out. Running 1 PSU for PC+8 GPUS? I guess your customers can reach the furtherest GPU (extender+molex adapter?)? Talk about stressing out a psu I just plan two run two PSUs, cable legth shouldn't be a problem. Btw can't seem to click on login or signup if they're indeed links... |

Fixed that, the currency switcher div was overlayed over everything when we switched to mBTC (I should not be allowed to dabble with CSS;) You can definitely use two PSUs, they'll just be mounted on the side per the pics:) There's some good info in the FAQ tab on the product page about using Molex extenders to reach the GPUs at the end if you need. |

Its working now.
What does the 4 gpu standalone look like? Is it exactly like the 8 gpu unit just with 4 gpus? or are the holes drilled to space them out more?
Also where does the hdd/ssd go (if used)? Or are you expecting customers to run a USB memstick on one of the usb ports?
I plan to run windows for (under)voltage support, so might have to use a hdd.. I guess I could zip tie the hdd to the frame or something (pretty ghetto lol).
Or otherwise buy a 64gb usb pen drive.
