Yes, without that fan the heatsinks get warm to the touch. The one fan keeps both stacks cool, and of course I'm only mining scrypt.

Ok, 80/20 25-2525 aluminum extrusions ordered with 50 nuts/bolts. Total cost for parts with shipping and tax so far: $157.87 Now I need to go buy a miter saw with the appropriate blade and stand...estimate that will cost around $200. Gesh, glad this hobby pays back some

Check this out...a vendor is selling a case ($119) similar in design to my original concept but with aluminum instead of acrylic and different dimensions:

I used a table though.

All the pieces are cut. Man, that saw blade is good. The cuts have almost a mirror like finish. I am impressed. Wish I would of had this miter saw for my GPU case. Learned an important word today: Kerf - the width of cut made by a saw or cutting torch So this first case will be 597mm long instead of 600. The top parts where the miners sit are still going to be 600mm so it will overhang about 1.5mm on each side or 3mm on one side. Basically ran out of material since I didn't accommodate for the width of the cuts when measuring. Thought I had plenty but it turns out I was just short. Going to grab some dinner and may be able to do the corner brackets tonight.

Pictures! This thing turned out really nice. It blows me away how clean the cuts are. The material stops on the miter saw stand are a must for the exact same lengths on each piece. Still need to make another 16 corner brackets ( ) but thought I would post what's done so far. I hate making these corner braces but it beats paying $146 for them.

Thinking of replacing the top rows of 80/20 with flat aluminum bars. Couple of benefits I can see.
1. Cost 2. Room/Clearance.
Most concerned with clearance. Trying to make the miner section 2U but im not sure if that will be possible.

Going to replace the 25mm extrusions with 20mm extrusions! The 25mm extrusions are just too big. I originally planned to use 20mm extrusions but something went wrong with my head somewhere ...another $150ish down the hole. Anyone want to buy cut 25mm extrusions cheap? It is completely usable. It's just that the utility shelf does not have enough space to accommodate my Corsair AX1200i. Comes as is. You will have to make holding brackets for the top part consisting of 8 pieces (16 brackets). I was using this ( link) and drilling the holes bigger.

On there sides you are just over 2U so, no, not so much. 3 U works great Room for 3 X 7 with a PSU in the back and 5 X 5 in the front for 46 in 3U, I originally made it with 4 X 7 in the back but with all the cords it was a tight fit.

Was going to see if I could have the miners drop down a bit into the lower section to make the top section 2U but in the end it may just have to be 3U.
On that server enclosure it looks like the USB hubs might fit in the front and still have room for the power supply?

Sure. But I was going stick two more hubs and 20 more seeds in front I'm using the IBM PSUs from here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=518013.0So the PSU takes about about 7 Grids worth of space. You could do a flat PSU, or external power as well. Normally I rip out the center fan bays but these were decent ones and the three fans line up to those three rows of grids. Case is here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811165548
