Hey I guess I should have looked at the thread first lol, great pics,,,and illustration so far... yes i may be interested as well in purchasing. The ideas I had were to use mobo stand offs (the longer ones) for the boards in an empty case and stack 2 maybe 3 vertically (same position as a mobo)...and custom fit decent fans,,,will post pics down the road perhaps. Still waiting on exact board layout for mounting etc k-64's etc. Nice job! very impressive. Luv to see innovation Smiley

That's very cool. I guess we will find out if the heatsink with the K16 will fit into a hard drive bay. So far, it looks like it will fit into a plastic Cooler master or Thermaltake caddy, according to my measurements. However, I'm not sure that I would take the chance of putting it into a caddy without a dedicated fan. And, I'm pretty sure a front PC case fan will not be able to move enough air to cool 2-3 K16s. I guess we'll have to do some experimenting, but I might be interested in a few adapters. Nice work.

At 20x20cm, I don't know how a K64 could fit into any standard case.

do you have any plans to make a k64 version?

Yes. If you can produce a K64 version I might be a potential buyer.

Cheers, looks great so far.

Hi,

I've created adapters to install Klondike 16 boards into standard tower and rackmount computer cases.  The adapters are 3D printed using ABS plastic.  They're strong, lightweight, and have an accurate fit.  They use common motherboard or hard drive screws for mounting.


When placing an order please add the $5.00 shipping item to your cart.


FYI, the pictures in this post are sort of old, and may not reflect the shipping versions of the adapters.
