What is it?
ATX-Pi is a custom Arduino clone that will control any standard ATX power supply and deliver power to your Raspberry Pi based mining platform. Designed to integrate easily into commodity PC cases, it offers an elegant solution to the problem of housing your ASIC boards.

Let me see it in action

Are there any accommodations for mounting and cooling K16 boards in a standard ATX case?

Forum member jdape has several designs for sale: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.2615862

I would love to work with him on getting something setup to mount a Pi and my ATX-Pi alongside K16s but have not made any inquiries in that direction yet.

Stickyback velcro doesn't work?
For 7 of them?

That seems oversimplified to me. I haven't even taken measurements, let alone considered airflow.

Bah!  I can't read.  I thought the talk was of mounting *just* the Pi.  Sorry. 
Heh, I see. Thanks for explaining.

I can see this being incredibly useful in DIY mining by making using a standard PSU easy. Raspberry Pi's I think will come to dominate as a standard gateway for these mining systems to negate the need for external hosts, this little guy bridges the gap nicely to take any guesswork out of powering these rigs with off the shelf hardware.

Nice work  Cool It is going on my needed parts list

Thank you for the kind words!

Okay, I'm sold. Where do I buy one  Cheesy

Thanks for your interest! You can see more details about kit purchases at https://www.tindie.com/products/KD8SSF/atx-pi-2/

Why tindie? It is like the etsy of hobby electronics, and is integrated with paypal to provide security for all parties. If you pledge to the campaign no funds will be withdrawn until the end of the campaign, and if I fail to ship you can easily claim refunds. As much as I want to accept BTC for payment right now it is not feasible. Using tindie will allow me to place component and board orders instantly upon funding, vastly reducing delivery wait time.
