Pictures of your mining rigs!

[ManeBjorn]

One thing that would really make these a bit more user friendly is they could have Cablez make them custom switches.

That way no magic paperclip zaps.  LOL

I'm getting ready to build my first open air rig, I've noticed one thing...none of these open air rigs appear to have a power button. How do you turn the unit on?

the magical paperclip.

OMG I just noticed I've been reading this thread for almost an hour.

That kind of pictures really fascinates. Will show it to a friend who's thinking of starting to mine.

Easy, with a screwdriver.

Or, you can make your own if you really want. Since my machines have auto start scripts, I wanted reset buttons and status leds. I ordered everything from digi-key.



You can see the grey cable behind the angle aluminum, it runs under the board to the front panel header.

I even built a rpi and a set of reed relays. I will soon be able to remotely reboot any of my rigs



Works kinda like this...

Yeah this very nice

Thanks, raskul.

Not so nice any more, though:

i've got similar cooling to my 130nm's... (happy now it's winter again) but under current difficulty, these blades will be getting powered down very soon...

Just put your liquid cooling radiators outside not the whole PC!

That's nice, but fancy watercooling with MB waterblocks don't earn you coins. Different requirements for a different crowd.

the magical paperclip.

A lot of boards now have power and reset buttons on the board itself... or its not to hard to salvage a wired button from any old PC!

I force BIOS to "always on" on power restore, then use the Power Supply switch to kill power and bring it back on that way.

We do this as well, but a quick screwdriver to the pins works just as well, esp when you want the OS to shutdown nicely.

With two PSU's it is not that easy to turn them on simultainlasly.

With two PSU's it is entirely unnecessary to turn them on simultaneously. A screwdriver still works fine

When I "repower" our rigs, I only turn off/on the one that's connected to the MB and risers. The PSU powering the 6/8pin power plugs doesn't need to be powered off (unless it's powering risers, in which case just make sure you power it off second, and power it on first).

That is nice! Those 3 fans provide enough airflow when it's all closed up and in a rack?
Are you making those to sell? How much did it cost you?

It's too early to tell, but it looks like airflow is enough.
I'll know more when I'll have 10 cases in one bay

Prototyping is very expensive, but I plan to make 100 pieces so at then end it should cost ~150€.
I'm not doing it primilary to sell, I have the need to build clean cases for data center hosting.

If you are really interested I could sell of course, but international shipping would be quite expensive (I'm in France).

Nice work Eric - I work in a datacenter, and having professional looking machines in our racks is very important.  Best of luck to you!

Obviously you don't work in my datacenter. LOL!
