So I asked them a few things, they answered some questions then left.

1) If you want the version with 3 fans in the center section, you need to select the 3rd picture. The seller says it intakes air from the front, seems pretty constricted to me though. It comes with 6x 8cm fans and 3x 12 cm fans.

2) The first 2 pictures come with 2x 12cm fans at the front, and 4x 8cm fans in the center. No mounting holes for 12cm fans in the center. You'll need to DIY

3) I asked if the center fan section can be moved, and if HDD cages can be removed, they didn't answer. I'll ask again tomorrow.

Taoboa is still within Alibaba Group of companies so should be legit.

I thought Taobao is for domestic sales, and Aliexpress is for rest of world.

Anyways, you should be able to buy this off Aliexpress too.

Hey KaydenC, did you reach out to them, any update?  I would be very interested in these also.

@ ps_jb - It was absolutely insane prices when the Nano came out.  I didn't even want to touch them as 390s undervolted did well but oh boy did they make out like bandits with the low wattage and FAST roms.  They got paid many folds are still one of the fastest ZEC GPUs.

@ m1n1ngP4d4w4n - I get side track too easily to do anything these days.  I'm too lazy to even change my USB flash drives email accounts so I can do 2 manual simplemining.net groupings, 1 for RX Image and 1 for R Images until Tytanick add that to the features.  Right now main focus is to finish the build and then do the rest later.  

@ KaydenC - Great find.  I saw a company selling these cases fully populated with GPUs.  I was wondering where they got them. Pretty cool,


********* BIOSTAR Z170GT7 issues update ****************

I saw the LGA 1151 Celeron 3950 being on the supported list but what I didn't know is that you may have to upgrade the BIOS on the MB for it to work.   Wasted 3hrs until Philip did some detective work to spot this.  I said no way I have 3 bad MBs as I've tried different, RAM, PSU, etc.   Pretty dumb considering this is the latest revision board so why wouldn't it have the latest BIOS to support this?  I hope that is the issue / solution.  Please share if you're seeing similar issues?

P.S I also have a MSI RX470 FAN that have broken blades, not sure how just noticed it today.  Does anyone know how to replace these?  P.M me if you do.

Oooo those look nice, half the cost, wonder what the shipping would be like.

That is true. One can get RX 480 8Gb for $200 or less

Found these china rosewill case replicas: https://world.taobao.com/item/4128962638.htm#detail

Contacting them for more info tomorrow, I might grab one.

I would largely agree. I do not use WIFI with my home rigs, it was very unstable. But I have friends hosting 1-2 rigs for me each, those are all on WIFI and they work fine most of the time.

Ahah that's what i though, keep having fun man

do you have any scripting knowledge ? i wouldn't think it'll be hard to deploy a new miner across lots of rigs, or do you not wish to move out from awesome miner ?

Sadly for us nvidia users, we don't have dual mining with pascal, but there are some very good algos nowadays (sibcoin, FTC, DGB) and even zcash resurrected nice to have known your thoughts & current setup about this.

They are still over $360 in my local market.

@ Citronick - Yes, you made an absolute killing on those Nanos.  The resell value is still great on them so even more $$$$..   I bet ElioVP did too, he had hundreds of those.  Regarding Vega, I have my 6th RACK dedicated to VEGA 10.  If there's anything I learned in Mining, it is to decide EARLY and just do it.   20 Rigs now is always worth more than 40 Rigs later.  We always end up buying the same cards, ie, RX480 been available since July at tiny discount vs fully ROI.   They have beta testing results using untuned drivers and are already showing over 10% faster than 1080s.  

Absolutely crazy prices on Ebay!

I am lucky to have hung on to the R9 Nanos - nearly sold them to gpushack- - never knew that these small guys were absolute cracker with Optiminer. I have 45 of them - all ROIed during the 2015-16 ETH days.

Even on -100mV/800/500 they deliver 370-390 S/s per card. Stock 400+ S/s easy.

Are you excited on upcoming VEGA with HBM yet?

I am itching to fill 9 x Rosewills into a rack with VEGAs.... should I or should I not....  

@ cavaliersrus - It's my Mining shed

@ m1n1ngP4d4w4n - Yes, I'm having fun with my Thermal Camera per your recommendation.  I'm doing a lot of cool things with it and will share once I collect more good usage data with it.    ETH + PASCAL IS $$$$$$$$$$$$$.  My partner's entire RACK is currently dual mining ETH and PASCAL.  I only have 1 Test RIG doing that as all of my Windows RIGs are on Awesome miner and are set up as "Managed Miner".  What that means is until Awesome miner upgrade to V8 and support Dual mining, I can't make them dual mine unless I stop the service and do it manually.  I have too many rigs to be doing anything manual these days.  Not sure about NVIDIA but for AMD, Dual mining with Pascal seems very stable and excellent money.


@ Tasty Potato - It's the Sun heating and reflecting off the concrete blocks.

@ dudutti -  If setup properly, ETH + Pascal and undervolting seem to do very well and may use less power than ETH+DCRI depending on your ROM.  The income from Pascal seem to be very good and is almost enough to cover the electricity for the entire rig.  For RX470, a 7 GPU rig does about 156 ETH + 2300+ Pascal.  I have't measure the wattage but RX470 with mod ROM are very efficient.   I actually have 7 running on a 1000W Platinum PSU when I ran the test.  You do lose a lot of Eth to get the Pascal for RX470.  For RX480 you lose less ETH.  It ranges depending on which RX480 you're running and the ROM you're using but it can be around 180s ETH plus over 2300 Pascal and only use around 160-170W.  If the card is not setup for undervolting and are NOT using efficient ROM, the wattage can go as high as over 200W especially the Ref 480s.

@ Citronick - Yes, the FURIES are making a Killing on ZEC.

@ AriesIV10 - Thanks.....

Whew, just finished reading the Mining Cave Part 1 and Part 2.  Whew!

Great information and look forward to reading any updates.  My congratulations on Your Mining Race!!  You have wise inputs with Phillipma1957 and Citronic!

Yup indeed i was surprised this morning  EWBF released a new one too (nvidia cards)

meanwhile.... ZEC has risen from the dead!
And timely that Claymore and Optiminer released their newest miners.
Here we go again!

I was on eth/dcr and i try eth/pasc  for me the result is 10% more gain and 10% more power too

Why the steps in front of the shed are hot? 
Are you or your doggy running back and forth? >_<

This is a thermal imaging of your shed ahah, IT HAS BEGUN   (seems actually pretty discreet as thermal sig goes )


Just for a curiosity yun, you seem completly focused on ETH, have you tried dual mining ETH+PASCAL, i heard it was very good, what's your input on that ?

Cheers.
