I like your ideas and agree that there is problems with gpu cases. Would be great if you can make something compact and quiet, and secure.
I think for this vertical design to work well specific gpu brand cooling would be needed. MSI has horizontal fins that mimicks active cooling heat sinks. Evga heatsinks are vertical fins so air does not flow as well.
A question about the rounded top of your case? Is this so you can stack multiple cases on top of each other? If so sounds like a good idea so heat isn't transfered to the stacked case
Seems like a simple box top chassis shape would be cheaper and good for airflow however cases can't be stacked.
Awesome keep up the good work and can't wait to see this get tested.
I'm assuming something like an evga 1600 watt would be supported? It's a little longer of a power supply. Dual mount power supply looks good. I like how it's similar to corsair cases where the power supply is in a separate chamber
The case will work with blower style GPUs and normal fan style GPU's. For example and AMD Vega 56 reference and an Asus Strix Vega 56. The fans will still pull heat from GPUs that vent sideways vs vertical.
That case will be stackable, I still need to add the brackets for it.
It will support longer PSU's like the EVGA 1600, the PSUs in the pictures are longer versions like the 1600.
Ive got about $2 in each of my rig frames.... they hold up to 13 gpus each. Just some bent sheet metal and a hand brake some pop rivets. So for all 32 rigs i run total cost in chassis was about $64.
I cant say the case will be anything close to $2! Its going to be closer to $200, just over the cost of a nice ATX Full tower case.
