I think this one wins teh thread.

Time is money. This means that if you have spare time, you can use it to make money.

Modular, open, and stack-able miner case.

It's made from wood. I'm not afraid of moisture, because the temp inside the case is always about 15 °C higher than the outside temperature.

I was afraid, though, that little droplets might get sucked in when there's heavy rain and winds, so I put 3 layers of insect-stopping gaze at the air-intake (bottom), spaced about 1 cm apart. It survived a couple of windy nights with heavy rain, so I'm not worried any more.

Also: there's very little dust buildup. I live in a city, but not near a big road or anything that has high traffic volume (so no diesel shit). This surprised me, but it makes sense: of course the inside of a room with people and carpets and all kinds of shit in it will have more dust than the outside.

In spring some very fine pollen got inside the case, don't know if that does any harm, guess not.

Do you live in the Arctic circle? lol What are you going to do in the summer; move the case inside or are you still going to leave it outside?

Leave it outside, of course. We don't use AC in our flats in germany, so it will be same temp inside and outside in summer anyways.

Ah yeah good point. Hopefully this summer won't be all that crazy. Do you intend to add more airflow in the summer or just leave it as it is? Wood is an insulator though so I'm wondering won't the system overheat? How many fans you got in that thing?

So there are 2x5970 + a 5970 in the standing case.

One more 5970 in the room (gathered all from coworkers Wink so getting a bit hot in here...

I already removed one resistor from the fan (I'm throttling that using resistors). There's 2 10cm fans at the intake of the inner metal case and one bigger one at the exhaust (white hose on wooden case), nothing fancy, though. Note that basically, the wooden case is open on the bottom ("open" in the sense, that there's only a frame so support the inner case and the center is a hole). There seems to be sufficient airflow, temps look like this:


/sys/devices/platform/via_cputemp.0/temp1_input: 22000
/sys/devices/platform/w83627ehf.656/temp1_input: 40000
/sys/devices/platform/w83627ehf.656/temp2_input: 21000
/sys/devices/platform/w83627ehf.656/temp3_input: 44500


Don't know which is what, but the highest never goes beyond 50 °C. So it gets pretty warm in there, but wouldn't call it overheating. Lets see what happens in summer Wink

50 is an awesome temp. If you can maintain that you're golden.

I solved the hot summer problem by moving my miners in the basement. Don't think that's an option for you but keep an eye on the temps. I wonder if you can write a script that will shut down the mining program if temp reaches a certain point.

You don't have to do that. If temps get high just write a script that lowers core clock. Thermal protection is there by default

You're right. Silly me, I totally forgot about that.
