My brother is looking to build a new desktop. I suggested if he's building a new desktop that he get a few cards he could mine with. If he likes mining, he may add more cards to his build. One request he has is that the computer case be enclosed, unlike my 6 card rig which is typical open air design. I will likely build the computer with 1060 6gb or 1070 black edition SC cards, as they run cooler than 1080ti, as this will be at his computer desk in his study. I would like to get him a case with very good cooling, and something that can fit possibly up to 3 or 4 cards. He will be starting with 1 or 2 cards.

I'd appreciate some suggestions. Thanks!



I love this (but it might not be what you are looking for):

Expensive, but good:

Mining with a desktop or tower case is a bad idea, even with the case open : to hot, even with only 2 cards !

There are none you can buy. You need to custom modify them yourself using server chassis cases. Search the forum there are a few examples.

Its a little labour intensive. Keep in mind it will be really loud since its closed case.
