Just curious about if there's a reference design of how to mount 12 8-chip board and setup the cooling solution/power supply in an elegant way?

And since its hash power fall on about the power of BFL's 'Single', are you considering to give it a code name? maybe 'Singular' or 'Singleton'??

not sure about 12, and not sure about elegant  Tongue  but I'm thinking of building an enclosure something like this.

open on both ends with 1 unit inside each compartment, then putting a box fan on the front and just leave the back open for all the wires and PSU and what not.

I'm assuming you can run 4 easy with a 1200W PSU? or is that pushing it?

depending on the size, I guess you could maybe make it 3X3 squares, which would fit 9, but I'd probably block off the middle box and only load 8.
