Topic: [Block Erupter Blade (New Model)]Low Price, Limited Quantity (Read 40000 times)
Hi guys... When the new model comes out? And how will it be?
I have a small budget so this is the best option for me.

Check in Group Buys and see if there are any resellers in your part of the world that still have stock.

Are the blades still for sale? how much are they?

I recommend the 120mm case fans from Dell Optiplex mid-towers. Those things at full speed will gladly remove chunks of flesh from fingers, you can feel the wind off them from across the room, and I can attest that they'll deal with moving at least 300W of heat each. Freaking loud though. Ten bucks on eBay.

Well make me one that is slightly wider

I'm planning for 6 200mm fans 3 push/ 3 pull
There is only enough room for 4x 200m fans in push/pull.

Anyone interested in an open-air case for ASICminer blades?
Each blade is secured to the tray via a custom plastic bracket. The beam that the brackets and fans are attached to could be mounted on the opposite side.
Any comments/suggestions?
p.s. Does anyone have an accurate drawing of the backplane mounting holes?

3x120mm won't be able to remove 800W of heat, those blades will be way too hot. I've had something similar in this config, it doesn't work with 120mms.

I'm glad to see that you are thinking about doing this! But any case I'd use would need to accommodate the HP server PSU mounted on the end of the backplane. Your design doesn't seem to allow for it. The PSU is tall and top heavy and needs something to hold in place so it doesn't wobble too much if you breath too hard in the general direction.
Yep, the final product will have support for the PSU.
All I need to know is by how much the PSU overhangs the backplane and the dimensions of the PSU itself (in millimeters, please).
I dont have a tape measure that shows millimeters, according to my set up, the power supply hangs off the backplane by 11/16th of an inch...

liquid cooling blocks..... those look amazing...... how does that affect potential ROI down the road.... i bet those have to be expensive

In friendly cooperation with highend-computer.de (the point of contact for powerful,
water-cooled Silent PCs), we can now offer water coolers for the blades, manufactured by ekwb

Interested. My biggest concern is that 1000W PSU that I have plugged into my backplane. Right now, it is supported by the wall, i.e. leaning against the wall. Really a bad solution but I have no other options. If you can add a frame around your open air case to provide support for and securely prop up the PSU, I'm in.
Also, maybe an option to have a push/pull fan arrangement, so fans on both sides? A fan exclusively on one side of the blade may not be enough. My blades run very hot.

Yeah if you are going ballistic get frames.
I wish I could but I'm running out of amps.

The full set up is a little flimsy due to the weight. But if you keep it on a large flat surface with psu backed up to a wall or board, it's fairly secure.
id rather not have a 1000w psu backed up against a wall just as a safety precaution... and i was planning on having about 10 backplanes full and hashing away... some type of open air case/tray is preferable

ok thanks!
with the server power supply mounted and the slots filled on the backplane it just seems like something to support the blades and that psu would be a wise investment.....

No drawing but an accurate photo...
I do have a pretty accurate (low-tech) method to transfer mounting hole locations:
- Attach normal standoffs to the board. In this particular case, the six mounting holes around the perimeter and the two (?) down the center.
- Place a bath towel on a hard surface.
- Place poster board on top of the towel.
- Press the board with the standoffs down onto the poster board.
- Label a reference standoff location, relative to some landmark on the board!!!
That should leave accurate impressions of each standoff in the poster board.
i'll try to get some posterboard tomorrow..... dont have any here at the moment
Awesome! But, I might be getting a board shipped to me pretty quickly.
I'll be sure to let you know if that doesn't happen.Jump to:
