Should've clarified! Strato posted a guide, down to what size rack (heheh) you would need. Are there any pictures of that multi-miner vertical setup with a box fan as instructed? Or, was that just someone's ideas?

Strato has done it and was going to post some pics of his setup.
This is a simple outline / guide on how we are running our Antminer S5 Units in clusters of 6 with no overheating issues and a decent overclock

I only have 2 units on a wire rack, just standing on end loose (not tied down).  No problems for mine.

So the answer is no.

I don't know if putting a box fan right in the face of the intake fans is a good idea. You can't pressurize water, so a duo-prop setup will work. What a fan needs to operate optimally, I thought, was abundant air that the blades can bite into.

What I've done is use a vertical wire rack and a small tornado fan to create a low pressure at the open window by the fan intakes. The exhaust fan helps create this, and the exhaust from the miners blows across to the outtake fan's area.

Kinda proud of it and it works thus far. You can see a table leg (my desk) which keeps the heat from escaping up. I think.

would love to look with a really good thermal image processor to see what's really going on.
