I'm poking around looking for case/housing options for these miners. What are the anticipated final dimensions of one fully assembled unit, please? If the unit is stored in a case, would the bottom standoffs still be necessary? (i.e., do they serve some purpose other than providing spacing between stacked units?)
I believe the K16 is 10cm X 10cm but its height is variable(heatsink!).
Here's the Klondike discussion thread:

Think about the standoffs on a regular computer motherboard that attach it to its case; same idea. The bottom standoffs keep the uneven surface of the assembled PCB from just sitting there on the bottom of the case.
I'm thinking about just making a case out of plexi when the time comes. It'll be cheap and easy and it'll look neat.
