Hi Damnsammit,

Very interesting design! I like it.  I just had a little suggestion for you.  If you make one with a box fan mount also make a space to mount a furnace filter between the fan and the video cards.  Then you can just slide in furnace filters to keep the dust down!  There are lots of different size filters so you should be able to find one that fits nicely.  Then your miners will double as air filters.  I'll keep an eye out on this I may be interested in buying 2-4 of them when you get it all figured out.  My normal cases with cards hanging out all over the place are a bit of a problem... lol  I currently have a normal case laying on it's side open with a strip of cork flooring laying across it that the video cards rest on and a tower air-filter laying on it's side blowing air across the cards.  It works...  but is really a pain if I need to move anything.  The other case has a card hanging from the side opening with zip ties.   the risers I bought from you are working great though!


Korxax,

Hahahah!  Oh man, some of the things that we do as miners to get our cards running.  I remember when I had a regular case that I opened up and had the cards rised using some old notebooks.  I should have taken a picture of that lol

Well I am just about done with all of the analysis, and am finishing up making about 5 units right now.  Likely going to be getting a very large shipment of aluminum next, and the price should be knocked down pretty low due to the bulk discount.  Hopefully in the $100-120 range.  PSU and HD supports will still be extra though. 

Base unit will include predrilled (and tapped) mobo standoff holes and GPU holes and will be stackable.  I scrapped the design for non-stackable as it doesn't really cost much extra to make it stackable and I like the feet on it.  Going to take some more pictures today, with them stacked up. 

Should be ready to take orders very soon.  Just got to finalize the pricing, and then update all of the info on the website, and get this damn shipping situation (with the shopping cart software) under control, then it will be good to go.

Alright back to work... I will post some pictures tonight.
