Does anyone with a miner have a caliper to measure the thickness of the case.
Is it aluminium?
I need to make a home for my Upgrade modules and one of the options is to build a replica of the original case.
Do you think that is doable?
Or if you can recommend anything else?
Perhaps a specific computer case?
If you're still curious, the case is aluminum and approx 1/10th inch thick (2.6mm?). Pretty beefy.
it's not the thickness that is really important, but those studs that are embedded into it that matter.
I am thinking of re-designing the whole thing anyway
That would probably be the easiest method. I attempted to remove one of those studs and they seem to be epoxied/welded in. Also, if you look on the bottom, there is a sort of hexagon base to them which makes me think they are custom made. They are also of the finer threading. Standard mobo standoffs do not work as they have the more coarse threads.
One thing to note however, I discovered that adding a 5th board to my perfectly running Jupiter actually caused it to run at over 100Gh/s slower than having that 5th board in a separate miner (I have 2 Jups, but had to send 3 boards back for RMA). I know KNC stated that their system was supposed to be able to handle at least 1Th/s, but I've found this not to be true. It may just be a firmware thing though. The 5th board caused 5 Dies to not come online (low current issue) that otherwise work fine.
