Yes, they are manufactured in bulk and i don't have the time right now to offer them as single units (im still setting up 3mw worth of S9s).  They will come palletized from the manufacturer.  broken down the prices are $140-$150 each.

I just dropped a line to my rep at bitmain, if they're willing to list them through their site for us i'll put the time into setting up a packaging / shipping solution and put some staff on it.  Until then its bulk or bust 

If you are serious i can get a shipping quote from the manufacturer, but i would assume ~$300 to NJ.

Lead time is 4-5 weeks, not sure where you got the 3 months from?  I am not holding any stock so, manufacturer takes 1 weeks for material delivery, 1 week for forming, 1 week for powder coating, 1 week for delivery.  I like to add an extra week on to the estimate just to be safe.

Ok, so I have bad memory for names and faces, but reasonably good one for acronyms. Check out "NEBS Level 3".

I'm going to give just a Wikipedia link for starters: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_Equipment-Building_System .

Please read that and if interested follow the links. You'll find plenty of examples of no-bullshit ways to rack up electronic equipment meant to be operated continuously. I understand that Bitcoin mine is not the same as telecommunication central office. Anyone reasonably intelligent would be able to decide for themselves which of the telco requirements don't apply to coin mine.

Its not just Paypal security that's wrong here.

Think of MTTR, Mean Time To Repair/Replace in case of any equipment failure. How many screws need to be untied/tied? Is it possible to replace just a single unit without taking offline the whole shelf?

It seriously like anti-engineering as far as cost of operations.

I do not want to give an address and name and contact info.  Just to find out shipping a set of 24 to 07731.

you want 3600 for a 24 pack   that is 150 each plus shipping

and a 90 day lead time.

So you get to hold my paypal beyond the safe time to put in a claim for no delivery.

I will pass. A 3 to 4 week lead time makes a lot more sense.

But the gear is really good looking I will give you that.

Thanks for your help.


Yeah, money laundering through terribly overpriced network installations is still the thing. It used to be done mostly by reshipping unused obsolete (or nearly obsolete) Cisco equipment with the original price at the time of the technology introduction. At the low end of price spectrum I remember Cisco color-coded Cat5 (not Cat5e) 1 meter patch cables for approximately $25 each. Nowadays Cisco is actively fighting those dodgy resellers.

They are now transitioning do doing dodgy billing on digital audio-video installations. Some of those examples ultra-neat cabling jobs shown in magazines are in fact not computing installations but A/V installations serving digitized movies locally for residences or production facilities.

I wish I had better memory for people names and faces. But the sales commissions for the people with right connections are awesome, e.g. from 50% to 75% or even 90%.


I'm not trying to begrudge you of your markup. You are free to charge what the market bears. I also understand what were the NRE costs for the ASIC versus NRE effort for your cases. The ultra-neat-freak segment of the custom hardware installation market is such an obvious place for various frauds. Maybe the manufacturers aren't the most interesting, probably the buyers and the salespeople are. Just don't be surprised if some investigative journalist shows up near your production facility.

Fantastic , any way to do bulk order , but change out PSU spaces ?

We engineered the shelves ourselves for this deployment.  The last picture is one of eight cold aisle rows that will be loaded with S9s by the time we're done. 

I get this is bitcointalk and scammers are rampant but we've been selling GPU cases for going on 3 years now and i wanted to offer these more out of courtesy to the community.  Yes, they are a little price but they're made in the USA, are powder coated, and function extremely well.

These should also work for Bitmain's next generation of miners as well since they are pretty set on their form factor now.

And lets be honest, the price of the shelf breaks down to 2.5% of the investment of the miners (not including power supplies...)

Besides, who wouldn't want to put 21 S9s in a rack!?!?! 

FWIW Google Images only came up with that one.
The yellow thing looks like a retractable power cord with an outlet box on the end of it. Nice touch vs having plugs here and there in that aisle.

The bottommost picture, with 20 racks in the perspective view, reminds me of strikingly similar interior photographs from some bankrupt datacenter facility financed with securities fraud. The pictures I've seen were much less uniform with the contents of their racks, meaning that racks were filled with a variety of equipment, but only 1/3 to 1/2 of the each rack was filled. I also remember that yellow circle with the pipe pointing down in the far view. Is this type of the arrangement some industry standard for the datacenter equipment?

I can't recall the company name. Maybe someone here saw it too and could refresh my memory?

Nice looking package, >35 some-odd TH/s per shelf with s9's, what's not to like?
Except the prices... Ouch!
Pretty sure I could have Bud Industries or other enclosure maker do a run for quite a bit less...
Edit: looking again at prices, you show $3,600.00–$5,600.00, I now take it that is pricing for bulk quan and not each?

We are proud to share with the public our custom Antminer S9,S9j,S9i / S9K,S9SE rackmount enclosure.  These 7U/8U shelves are designed to house 3 Antminer bitcoin miners with bitmain AW3++ power supplies.  This allows those running in traditional datacenter environments to effectively host Antminers while maintaining hot / cold air containment.

We are currently running a clearance on our in stock quantities!  After these sell out we will only be offering quantities of 50+ so get these while you can.

Please place any orders through our site here:

7U shelf for S9,S9j,S9i
7U shelf for S9K,S9SE

These shelves will also work for other bitmain miners such as L3,D3 etc, as well as similar units like dragonmint T1s.
