It is not recommended to use a GPIO extender cable more than a few inches long with an application that uses SPI protocol. Adafruit sells a one foot GPIO extension but warns that it may cause issues and mentions several of their for-sale items that it is not compatible with for that reason.

Ok. So we need bulkhead fittings for the network cable, USB, and anything else?

Looks good. Can you make them for $200-300 or so?

I'm starting this thread to determine whether there is interest for a 3U (or taller?) case for Bitfury's ASICs.

Unlike all my other offerings (e.g. All aluminum open air case for BitFury ASICs), this case will be fully enclosed and rack mountable.

These cases are unique in that they are very modular (just like the BitFury), allowing you to grow/shrink your rig as needed. You could even bolt two shallow cases together. Shocked

And of course, they could be shipped flat-packed or fully assembled.

Here's a very rough pass of the component layouts of two variations: one with a 1U PSU and another with a standard ATX PSU.

I have the Pi(s) at the very back of the case, but am wondering if they even make a cable long enough to connect them to the m-board(s).

Thoughts?

Make this enclosed, and I'd be interested in one for an October order.
