It looks like punin is not shipping a cable to extend the raspberry pi to a different location. Will it still be possible to use your case?

Only 2 cases left for sale now!

Hey guys,

Unfortunatly I can not delivery the cases by this week, the manufacturer sent the cases a bit late and I will probably get them tomorrow evening or on Thursday. But I will be on vacation from 29-1 Sept.

All parts for assembly are prepared now and at hand besides of the RJ45 connector. Worst case is, if i didnt get it until next week i have to ship without it.

This means, estimated shipping will be, beginning to mid of next week (week 36).

Currently 3 cases are left for sale.

Meanwhile i added some more pics here:

Hey guys, today I talked to my manufacturer.

He told me i should receive the cases on 27 of August, so if everything works out fine, I can make shippment in last week of August!

@kelticfox can you post what you found on the BFL case designs so we can see your take on the airflow and thermal loss?

Would be nice to know

Thanks

still only 4 left,

order for cases is made, will talk tomorrow with the company about lead time.

Nope, dont have this,

for this prototypes i cant change anything anymore, but Iam very open to your support for a finsihed design with a possible reselling partner!

Thanks man

Hi guys,

so only 4 cases left to sell now

Iam already in talks with potential resellers, Iam not interested in selling cases on my own here in masses, dont got the time for it.

Why wouldnt you make more cases and make some profit out of it?

Update:
-3 cases sold
-2 cases will be kept by me

5 cases still to sell here

Will order tommorow and hopefully know an excact lead time very soon.

with this new manufacturer there is a bigger possibility that i could shipped the cases in last week of august. I would try my best to manage this.

EDIT: I dont wanna make any promises i cannot hold, so i have to stay with my conservative statement here, but i think its possible

Is delivery still planned for September?

Hey guys,

some News here regarding the purchaseable open cases.

Iam very happy to annouce that I can reduce the price for each open case to: 145 EUR

Today I discussed the whole project with a manufacturer who could do all necessary steps of manufaturing on his own to finish the cases at very competitive prices.

Before that the price was based of raw case which i had to transport to a welder and then painted the cases, so as you could imagine that would have been a lot of additional work compared to the current solution.
I gave the whole saving directly to you, so you have a more competitive price for a good product.

So i hope now with this price the cases are getting sold a bit faster.

great to hear this, definitly interested in this case for a 800GH beast! 

Hi,

open desin is final, rack design is semi finished(would  change the alignment of the inner parts probably to fit 2 mboards).

For sure it is compatible with my design, prototypes uses the wrong connectors and they are hopefully changed for the mass produced boards. Additionally you can mount the raspi at my design on the ground with a GPIO cable, this would be up to you.

It would be too expensive to add a cover to the open case design attempt, because i would have to make it more wide and also add fans to the cover to still have a forced airflow.

The only option would be the Rack design, which was supposed to have a cover anyway. From the timetable it would be possible to get Rack case prototypes in october as the production and order of parts would take about 3 -4 weeks until my design would be finished.

Many people here are talking about modded Rack cases to use for these attemts but I dont know any manufacturer which would make this alteration to a final Rack case(at least not here where I live), also the most final Rack cases which we can purchase on the market doesnt provide the necessary airflow because the lack of the necessary amount of 120mm Fans.

To summarize this:
I will think about that matter if this makes sense for me. I would try 2 attempts, to change an existing 19" 4U case and to ask for a whole new produced case.
But maybe I will first talk to spotswood(open case reseller), maybe we can work together in this matter.

Thanks for your interest guys! But for the moment i can only offer you the open case desgin.

i'm also interested in the Rack Casing Design for October.
