OpenRigs is huge so i dont like them, these are much compact.

Not to mention their 40€ shipping.

Each rig weighs in at around 5kgs - 5.5kgs, plus packaging material and so on. But volumetrically, our custom boxes are 14.5kgs. Shipping internationally is expensive when it is a parcel that big volumetrically and that heavy:)

We tried smaller versions, but when you reduce the space between the cards significantly you may as well not even bother. The heat map at 6cm (back to front spacing between cards) is horrible compared to 8cm. The whole point of an open frame is to let the heat disperse naturally and evenly. When we have some time we'll be put up thermal imaging (FLIR) photos of rigs running at different space points to demonstrate the heat dispersion at more compact intervals, but trust me when I say that more compact is non-optimal:)

Dreams are realities un-manifested.

Price point seems a bit off, but I do like the layout better when compared to openrigs.com @ $60 USD. What about selling the plans instead? I know one can pick up the tube aluminum at home depot, its the connectors I am having difficulty sourcing.

Cheers!

it would be nice if someone posted the dimensions of the tubes, that way ppl could just go to their local hardware store and have them made.

Very nice indeed. Do you have the production of these up and running?

I'm looking at building a new rig, and this may be what I need. I'll be watching with interest. I'm in the UK, though, so will need to know what the shipping costs would be.

The fully built and drilled unit is what I'd want if I were to buy one. Not sure yet, but interested.

Looks like the mods moved it to the correct part of the forum.

I'm still working out the exact pricing but this is the ball park.

Simple kit ~$70 + S&H

"Drilled and Tapped" kit ~$90 + S&H

LTC or BTC accepted of course.

Keep in mind, my design is still Pre-production. If you want one tomorrow, that's not going to be possible. I would need 2-3 weeks lead time from now.

I'm trying to gauge demand to get an idea of how many resources to put behind it. Once in production the whole picture changes. (I would have posted in the commerce section with a price tag if this was ready to sell this instant!)

The lead time at this point is more a factor of not having inventory rather than fabrication time. The pictures are of prototypes I built to prove my CAD design.

Once I go into actual production I would always have some amount of inventory on hand so I could ship them right out as orders came in.

@ckolivas I guess you could use these to hold BFL Monarchs when they ship in two years. But this wasn't conceived for Bitcoin miners so you are right.
