Thanks for the pics.
*I better get bigger pockets, cause that's not "Pocket Size".

Can one remove that FAN that is like placed in such a bad spot (stacking wise), how do you stack these ?
I'm sure I'll be taking those fans off (gridseed 2.0). I'm thinking of putting several on their side and hitting them with one exterior (quiet) fan.
That might work if they're not stacked too high. We are talking about ~35w of heat that needs to be dissipated so at the least you're going to need a fan blowing on them. GridSeed's are only using about 6-8w of heat; huge difference.
I'm just going to leave the fans on mine; longer lifespan for the components on the pcb, happy chips and higher clock speed.
With the opens ends, stacking these with a couple push/pull fans on the sides might be fairly effective.
