Aluminum Stackable Open Miner Frame

Scrypt-coiners!

I've devised an efficient open miner frame design and I'm trying to gauge if there is interest in a kit. It's sized so that it can comfortably hold up to 6 GPUs while still maintaining double spacing between each GPU. (fewer GPUs allows for more generous spacing) It's designed around the dimensions of a 20" house fan and two frames can be stacked to fit perfectly in front of a 20" fan.

If I were to provide a kit for this, would anyone want one?

I could offer it in two levels of completion. The basic (cheaper version) would only have the cut tubes, fittings and hardware with center punched marks for where the holes go. With this option you would use self tapping screws to hold on the GPUs and "tap" the holes for the motherboard stand off yourself with a regular steel computer case screw.  I'm still developing a simpler stand off system that uses either plastic standoffs or spacers and self tapping screws. But regardless of the final form of the basic kit, the user would do the last part of the work.

I might also offer a fully drilled and tapped version for people who would rather just pay for the extra work to be done.

Here are some photos.
