i am waiting for more cards for now

but just for the pic i plug some old radeons

from the bottom

1050ti
7970 not connected
1070fe
r9 290x not connected
1060 6gb
1060 gb
7970 not connected





(why i not use top slot for one 1060? i think sth is wrong with riser, I will replace it later)

Really nice! I am doing something similar  (https://ibb.co/j3RVO6 https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/new-mining-rig-frame-suggestions-2335082)



Do you have a picture of it filled with GPUs?

Frame looks really nice! Mining Vertcoin on the vertical rig would be awesome Wink

Im not saying you copied.
Im saying the concept of vertical case is nothing new.
Thats all.
it was not excuse, I wanted to copy working project, but i can't find anything, thats why i have to do it my own, reasons which push me to do it:
- less space (footprint)
- less size overall(volume)
- mounted risers on spacers
- less cost for me
- if i will buy "normal" frame in shop I will wait few days

Looks a great way to minimise the footprint of the rig. My only concern would be as heat rises the upper cards are then becoming hotter than the bottom.

your concer is right but this is matter?

difference will be 5*C maybe, hashrate will be the same


Placing a fan on top instead a cover would nice to suck out the hot air

too much drilling - maybe gain 1-2*C, I made this case for my self and check if this will be work ok, now I can copy dimensions and all holes patern and made it via CNC laser/mill without mistakes Wink

If you have vertical fans along the side of the case the heat wont have time to rise.

Then you have to put fans in everycard along side in order to avoid heats contact from upper card right? Seems not practical to me.

believe me, I try to found some pics in google vertical case but no luck

also important thing for me are risers mounted with spacers firmly to frame - now mounitng/changing gpu is very very simple and fast

This sort of idea caught my eye a while back, it's not too dissimilar to the way Genesis Mining build their rigs:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FUs3Z1z0TvA

Looks like they are using Asrock Pro BTC boards with their own custom software/os on USB stick.



Wow, it's impressive, much smaller than my own rig on a rack. Do you guys know the dimensions or where we can buy such a rig like genesis' one?

This design can minimize dust stick on processor heat sink.  Smiley

Looks good, nice work, could work better for some people as heaters during the winter Cheesy

Fail to plan, and you plan to fail.

They actually use Colorful boards, which are like $40 in bulk, and server PSU's that cost them 50$ with the breakout and cables, a 40$ CPU's with a 30$ stick of RAM, so their total systems costs them $160.
Cant beat that price and efficiency, and it sure beats a 12/13/19 GPU build in stability.

Great job looks great.
You might want to mount the motherboard on the other side facing your cards. Those riser cables die to quicky if bended.

risers/usb cables are not bend at all

60cm risers are long enough, but always you can use angle usb conectors like this:

more pics soon, maybe tuesday

PS

whole case is made by hand (hand drill/ hand threaded) base is 24x28 bcoz i have 24x56cm sheet of aluminium plate at home so i decided to not order new one

i decided to make it by hand bcoz for CNC I will wait 1-2 weeks

Solid alluminium case - it's right approach! Just add external fans at the back side of the frame (befor GPUs)  and "problem - hot air goes up" will dissapear. It's due to fans airflow is faster than the convection of air bottom-up

well it is always nice to see greatly done stuff as your rig, for example.
it is well think of and planned well before construction and save a lot of space I must admit

post a picture with full gpus load))  then we all will give thumps up!
