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 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 will have to use hdd..

It's shorter - spacing between GPUs is the same. Dimensions from the product page:

Assembled Dimensions:
  4 GPU: 70cm wide x 35cm long x 50cm high
  6 GPU: 90cm wide x 35cm long x 50cm high
  8 GPU: 110cm wide x 35cm long x 50cm high

We're busy designing a hard drive tray, waiting for various trays to arrive from one of our suppliers in China. Based on that we will add it as an option. At the moment most of our clients are using USB memory sticks (or letting the drive balance precariously on a corner:-P)

If it helps to competivly price hdd option its about $60aud for a 64gb memstick.

Also as an option you might want to add the 2nd psu to the left corner? So leave it up to the customer to decide and put up with the cooling drawback but able to get away from using extenders.

That said I should be fine for a 4 gpu setup cable length wise for my PSUs.

The Arianna grid has holes drilled on both sides (as the next one in the row needs to bolt into that anyway) - the other problem that I forgot about is that a second PSU won't fit behind the motherboard, so no dice:( We'd have to fundamentally redesign things to make it longer and add another vertical PSU support bar, and then it would ruin the ability to stack horizontally in the Arianna grid.

I think we have the wrong frame in mind...

For my suggestions I have the 4 GPU Vitalia in mind. https://openrigs.com/image/cache/data/IMG_3078CFLATFS-1200x900.jpg

Also the psu should fit on the left rear corner as it fits on the right fine? Looking at the pic there is enough space (granted thats the 8 gpu model).

Just replicate what you did for the right for the left? It should not add that much extra cost?

Or am I missing something?

Is it not possible to do what I have in mind for 4 gpus? Do you only have enough space on the 6 and 8 gpu setup?

That said the 4 gpu option should be short enough. If you can throw up a pic of the 4 gpu frame that would put my mind at ease.

If you haven't guessed already I'm trying tp stick with stock and not use adapters and/or extenders at all other than the pci-e risers.

NB: Due to the shortness of the gpu frame does the mobo sit close to a corner? Thus you don't have enough space for a psu in the left corner?

You'll have to excuse my crummy pre-editing photography, but this should illustrate it better: https://i.imgur.com/ky8VkG5.jpg

See how the PSU sits over the motherboard crossbar? There's no way the motherboard and the PSU can co-exist in the same space. I don't have any pics of 4 GPU setups at the moment, but I think it would be super tight. On the 6 or 8 GPU setup you have more space on the sides of the motherboard...but then the issue is the PSU crossbar. If you check this pic: https://openrigs.com/image/data/IMG_3094FLATF.jpg you will see that there are two vertical bars the PSU screws into, not just the corner bar. At the bottom of the pic you can see how that vertical bar comes into existence - we'd need to cut completely custom pieces of aluminium (outside of our standard measurements) to do that.

Just FYI, though, on 4 GPU setups you can get away with the connectors that come with the PSU - you'll only have 1 or 2 PCI-e adapters on the PSU anyway (maybe 3 if it's a 1250W+ PSU), so to power the 3rd and 4th GPUs you will have to use the Molex adapters that come with your PSU (for powering hard drives, optical drives, etc) and connect them into the Molex adapters that come with your GPUs. You can't get away from that, but all the bits come with your hardware. Using the Molex adapters like that gives much further reach than the PCI-e adapters that come with your PSU, and you'll have all those bits anyway.

How much space is there between the cards ?

Will 2.5 or 3 slot cards fit with enough space to keep them cool ?

Just a thought, but you should probably get a different color background for the pictures.  The aluminum on white background makes it very hard to see the details of the rig itself.  If you use a color background then it should bring out the rig a little bit more.  If you use a black background, the PSU and the cards will be much less of a focus of the picture, but the aluminum rig will stand out really well.

Yeah - photograph is not my strong suite;) I've got a professional product photographer who's coming to visit in December, and will probably be re-shooting everything.

Yes - typically a 2.5 or 3 slot card has better cooling than a 2 slot card (bigger heatsink), which is also nice, and there's enough space between the cards to cater to that.

[takagari]

That looks so cool lol.
I'd buy one just to use as a book shelf

Wich Board is capable with 8 gpu's?

[CeeCee]

i suggest to add some powered riser cables. would have had add them to my order but now i must look somewhere else for them.

I just bulk ordered a bunch of cables.  Will be selling them as soon as they arrive

Couldn't find any reasonably priced so I bought 20 of each, only need 3.

There are several 7 and 8 slot boards, but they are quite expensive and more geared towards our HFT customers than our mining customers. It seems that 5 and 6 GPU motherboards are the sweet spot at the moment:)

We're working on our accessories section:)

[CeeCee]

can you tell me how long the riser cables should be for a 6x gpu rig? i can find 19cm, 24cm, 30cm and 54cm.

Absolutely - it's answered in the FAQ tab on the product page:

How do you get the risers to reach the cards in 6 and 8 GPU setups?

We recommend 30cm XL powered 1x->16x risers from Buy-A-Hash to reach most of the cards. For cards that are further away, 1x->1x unpowered risers can be daisy chained, as long as the daisy chain is terminated by a 1x->16x powered riser. Unpowered risers can be purchased from Buy-A-Hash or on eBay.

I ordered a few Giorginas. Lets see how long it takes

[sebdude420]

I'm still waiting on asicminer rev2 blade cases. pm me when it'd available.

[jonoiv]

Hi

Could you give me an rough estimated time for delivery on order 61X  for x 4 (6-GPU) goirgina's

Not the time of arrival in England, but just when you expect to start shipping an order in this range.

Thanks in advance.
