New to mining. Wanted to put a couple S3's in an enclosure for the office.

Corsair Carbide Air 540 white case (plenty of ventilation holes in the case) The black version of this case is available at Micro Center for $120 - $20 MIR = $100.
With 2 ProlimaTech Ultra Sleek Vortex 14 fans with 120mm fan grills and adding 3 ProlimaTech Ultra Sleek Vortex 12 white fans to case, (cheaper alternative is the Scythe Slip Stream SY1212SL12H 2000 rpm 120mm Slim Case Fan) with 3 120mm fan grills.
Thortech Thunderbold Plus 1200w Gold power supply fits in the case and has the 5.25 display
NZXT Sentry 3 fan controller
Scythe ITA Kaze fan with Evercool Twister Fan Speed Controller PCI Slot
Put these feet on the side http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00A3ONV4A/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and these inside of them http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003IMSIBA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 to give room for the power supply fan ventilation.

Anyone else do something like this?

I've also got another set up using a Enermax Fulmo GT case almost ready (with the Netgear 5 port switch in the front) also for the office and I ordered a Corsair Carbide Air 240 black case to see if 2 will fit in the smaller case (I suspect they will but the side door will not be on and the S3's will be upright (no 5.25 bays on the smaller case) but with a EVGA 1300w G2 power supply it's not needed (this smaller MicroATX case looks like it'll fit any power supply, even the Corsair 1500w Titanium power supply), for the home.

I like that setup! If S3s actually looked like they had a shot to ROI, I would put a bunch of them in Corsair 540 cases and place them all around my house for heating this winter, and keep the furnace off.
