Well!! with the gpu heating up i decided to to build a open air rig.

My plan is to stack up the six rigs on top of each other and connect each rig to a heat exhaust fan going through the roof.

this is my first prototype. (does not house a PSU)




Working on other prototypes too.

The second protype will be a one that can house two 1200w PSU

I will publish the build details and schematics once i have determined which one would work better.

And a Third prototype is a experimental liquid immersed cooling solution, using a  few different types of liquids to immerse the entire hardware in it. {might make this one  around August.}

Made the frame my self.

thats great. if you are building a second one, try square-tube alluminium. it'll give more sturdiness and also better visual appeal.
but this one looks great for DIY. i'll be making two next week, but not by myself. found a metal works shop to do it for me. one is open frame and another is a closed frame with better ventilation and protection from dust with custom dust filters. with the summer coming near, i don't think the closed frame will work better, but i'm doing it just as an experiment. will post pics when it gets delivered

I  did make one  with the Square tube  but  the problem with that was, drilling the hole  for the  board to  fit,  and  adding  other  attachment was a bit of a problem. Anyways the V-rod is quite sturdy i was  able to sit on it  and  held quite sturdy. :-)

Yeh with the  summers  coming  it is  better to stick with a open air  with a heat catch exhaust vent.

Looking good.

Looking through this project, its interesting to note that Hardware projects seem to require lesser investment than Software at the same level.

I am planning to build one like that of openrigs.com.

Searching for plastic corner joints for square aluminium pipes which would make the assembling much more modular and easier. I might take some time as I am in the process of shifting flats.  Sad

And yes it will be stackable.
