Sweet science, I've been dreaming of a case like this. Please tell me you made them and are selling them. If so, I would like to place an order.

I gave up for now

I gave up for now 

Why ?

Why ?

It's been several years.  I'm in no rush to expect someone to actually pull through and make this case.  Besides I have plenty of room for 3 card PC cased rigs.

As long as you use positive pressure for reference and negative pressure for non reference and cool the backs of the cards it's fine.

I'm in the process of producing 4U cases with the help of a local factory.
6 GPU, exhaust fans, 2 PSU, Mobo small format (like the H81 PRO BTC)

Here are the prototype specs :



Initial version with 5 GPUs and 2 PSU on the front









I should have the second prototype (6 GPU, rear PSU + option dual PSU) soon.
Please tell me if you could be interested.

Only problem is I'm in Europe, so shipping could be a problem.

That would work for a lot of open air people.  There is nothing between the gpus to create any kind of pressure.  If I use non-reference in that case I would be sucking air out from the intake fans on the cards, If I use reference I would be blowing from a strong fan to a week fan and sucking untouched air above and around the GPU's

I think I'll start selling my own for $150 + shipping in the US

I might be able to get it down to $100 depending on GPU count and mounts.

Here in the Netherlands that gorgeous case EricKennedy posted, would sadly be rejected for placement in a rack (hosted in a datacenter)

Rules apply besides hight and width.

But in the end I guess it all comes down to how much space you are willing to buy and the percentage of occupation at the given datacenter.

Furthermore, wouldn't the amount of air pressure needed to keep things cool enough, (is there any way to calculate this given the OP's demands?) destroy the fans on the cards?

Would this 7GPU, 8U rack mount chassis work for your application?

Looks nice, but too pricey. You could get two of these for the same cost:

http://miningrigsnet.gostorego.com/server-cases.html

and put 12 GPUs in 8U of rack space, instead of just 7...

[LegolasProudhon]

That looks like a really nice system as well.

One thing to note, the Gabu system is 1/2 depth, letting you put 14 GPUs in 8U of a standard 4 post rack (or you could use 2 two post racks).

This really only matters if you want to maximize your density and have control over your space (or are in a space without cold isle/hot isle separation, pretty common in a lot of locations). If you had control of your space you could have 2 cold isles and have a warm vent directly out the top.

Also, I would want to test the thermals on the 4U system. It looks like it will be very hard to push a large volume of air through the back of that system once two power supplies are installed (even with six 120mm fans).

The Gabu system has six 140mm fans and lets the GPUs vent directly out the back of the chassis. This conforms with standard GPU designs and should greatly increase airflow.

In all cases its really hard to say what will happen without comparative testing.
