Rack mount cases 4U [6 x Antminer S1, S3, L1(?)] and 2U [4 x DPS-2000bb]

[w3e30us]

Kgb2mining and I have been working on this set up.

First prototypes are done and deployed as of 10/6/2014.

Hash case is 4U and holds 6 Antminer S3 (as well as S3+, S1->S3 upgrade) in stock form, or 8 S1s.

With some mods to heatsink it is possible to squeese 8 of S3s there, but I'm not sure if it is worth the effort.

DPS-2000BB case holds 4 PSUs as well as fans and breakout boards from GekkoScience.

Hash case comes with 6 of Delta PFC1212DE fans (~250CFM each) or stock Bitmain fans as well as pass though RJ 45 connectors as shown

With stock fans temps on miners are about 20 degrees C higher, but it is doable when done with proper cooling

PSU case comes with 8 of Delta PFR0612UHE or San Ace 9GA0612P1K611 fans (~51-53 CFM each).
There's a cover for PSU case that is not shown. it covers top and side with power cords.

Final design will be powder coated black as well as some other minor changes for improved access to wiring and break out board.

Working out final bugs right now.

Pricing will depend on how many cases are ordered.

I should have the details in a day or 2.

Each PSU case can power 4 hash cases (24 miners)

And here's some pics of the final setup all rackmounted and humming along nicely.

Cabling is a little messy and they're not properly mounted on rails like they should be, just on rack shelves.

I Just want to say that this is gorgeous hardware

These are Great!  Will probably order some depending on pricing.  Any reason why you didn't opt for an internal hub and one RJ-45 pass thru?

Space and power requirements mostly.

Any particular hub you thinking of?

Thank you!

A lot of work went into these...

The hash case with the Delta fans has the miners running in the mid 30's temp wise.  The stock Bitmain fans are running in the upper 40's, a couple units are around 60, so the Delta fans are certainly much better.  However, they are MUCH louder.  Thankfully this is in a datacenter environment so it fits right in and you expect the noise.

The PSU case with all 4 power supplies is running very cool to the touch.  There seems to be no issue with the 4th PSU in the back suffering from all the rest of the hot air from the first 3 moving through it.  Now these PSU's are half-loaded, only 3 miners per PSU at the moment, so we'll see when I can get them set with a full compliment of 6 miners per PSU whether heat becomes an issue.  But with the volume of air that's being pushed through I still doubt it'll be an issue.

Any cheap 7 port or higher would be fine, found a cheap 12v one on az

I love this sort of thing! How much does that beast weigh?

[Taugeran]

50-55 lbs. each ant is roughly 5-6 lbs and the case is probably 10-15

It's a nice thought, but honestly, there's really nowhere to fit one of these inside the case.  Plus then you also have to worry about the brick transformer and/or customizing a 12v plug for it from somewhere else.

Really the only way this is usefully done is to have the cabling done the way it is.  There's enough room on the outside of the case if you wanted to surface mount one and go that route, but trying to find enough room inside, especially without it impeding airflow (most of the challenge), is quite tough.

You're probably close but it's a little less than that.  Remember there's really only the hashboards and control board - none of the brackets on the ends go in, there's half the fans total, and there's no outer metal shell anymore.  Each hashboard case fits 6 Ants.  The case itself is extremely light, at least this prototype one, because it's only .30 thickness.  If these make it to production it'll be double that so there'll be some structural rigidity, and then I'd agree the case would be 10-15 on its own.

Seat of the pants feel from actually carrying it around and getting it situated in the rack, I'd say it's probably about 45 lbs for the hashboard case fully populated, and about 20-25 lbs for the PSU case.  If I get a chance to weigh it on a scale when I move it to another rack in a week or so I will.

Wow, truly impressive. Loving the power supply case!

[CroverNo01]

Fantastic design you have made - easy to contain miners and stick them in my racks

Great work 

[bmoscato]

This is great!

[warrensgun]

Very nice.  I had picked up a few empty 4u cases to try to modify them to hold ant s1's, but i have to say - this looks so much nicer than what I was trying to rig together.

The PSU case is awesome - i was trying to figure out how to manage the psu's on the rack.  One really cool improvement would be if you could get an extension cable that went from the output of the power supply to the case where the ants where.  then mount the break out board in that case.  then the PCI-e cable mess would be enclosed in the ant miner case.

We are actually working on something like this as we speak.

Totally badass! Printing that base tonight and shipping tomorrow.

Very impressed too, they are really nice.
