Chassis seems to be 4U, if we are talking rack 19" 32U, then you can fit 8 (in theory).

A standard 19" rack is 42U, so you can put 10 of the into a cabinet.

I made something like these about a year ago:

I put some big mofo fans into the front mask to create a wind tunnel, but there are LOTS of little m3 holes in these premade server cases, so i made my own custom case:

with this pull setup you can manage heat easily, even with hot-cold aisle in datacenters.

ps: my main acc zombie007 got stolen at last btctalk hack Sad

I could have used these pics a week ago!  haha  Thanks for the Pics!

where can i buy the chassis?

getting a few of my rigs into this case ... then I can ship them to my ISP to join my BTC farm.

+

how many of the chassis can i stack on a 19" rack?

I do not know how many you can stack in a 19" rack, but It does provide directional/controlled air flow.

Shocked  ZEC: 400MHs +/-10%  Claymore's v4.0

It's not really hard to achieve, my 4 RX470 8GB do 265-270, if I add 2 more, I'm up to 400 as well. They are heavily undervolted too, so power figures are somewhere in the 400W, system included.

Really nice rig though @OP!

MSI Z97 Gaming 5 - this one has 7 PCIEs and can run 7 GPUs

I have the same case - and I really doubt that it can fit 7 GPUs

Anyways, to have 7 GPUs running ETH you need a VERY good PSU otherwise your efficiency will be low

All - don't forget that you can buy this set up from AriesIV10 !

This is a really clean setup. Congratz OP!  Grin Will check to create something similar.

The main reason for the creating this RIG is being able to controlling the hot air output.  Getting it into my furnace or out the window depending if it is winter or summer respectively.

I have parts coming in the mail today to perform testing and evaluations.

definitely interested in pics of that..

can you put another fan in on the mobo side where the expansion card slot covers go? maybe fit a 92 or something in that space?

I have thought of adding a fan on the CPU side, although another thought that I had was to move the fans from the middle to the exit (GPU side).  This will pull the air rather than push though the GPUs.  The fans that I am adding are 135 CFM each.  When I hook them up to 4 prong power plug they run at 100%.  When I hook them up to the motherboard they run at specifications/needs of the motherboard.  The only problem is that IF I move them to the exit end, the wires are not long enough and therefore I will have to add an extension...more modifications...which I am trying to minimize modifications.  Just thoughts.

I will deffinitely post pics.  

John1010 is mentioning the importance of ventilation with the GPUs.  I agree.  Right now the GPUs are running at an average of 60C with their fan speed at about 40%.  I should be able to get this down as well.

Thanks for the inputs!

Basically GPU mining need a good ventilation if you want to increase it's life.. just my thought..

what is this "brake pedal" you speak of?

I will be testing with 7 GPUs today.

Evaluating:

1. Ability to work
2. Heat issues
3. Fit
4. Performance.

wouldnt some data centers with hot isle/cold isle setups have a problem with that rig as heated air  will go the wrong way?  or can it be mounted "backwards" in a rack.

if you tried it at some point, what was the result of normal front to back flow (gpu->mobo) for temps? mobo and cpu, or more likely, the PSU cooked?

anyway very clean and compact setup, probably the best ive seen.

I have considered the mounting and I am able to put the 4U rack mounts on the other side.  The PSU has very little heat. 

It is stackable and mountable as well.  I do have open rigs, but the hot air cannot be controlled or directed.  This one takes care of that.

Compared to ETH - The profit is higher and the electric cost is about 25% less, yes, this is very good.

Are those RX 470? and how much you're getting on zcash with the latest Claymore's?


Yes, they are RX 470 4gb.

ETH: 165MHs +/-10%
ETH: 1000Watts at the wall
ZEC: 400MHs +/-10%   Claymore's v4.0
ZEC: 775Watts at the wall

That is quite good. It seems it is quite profitable to mine the ZEC more than the Ethereum at the moment.
