Pics with some hardware thrown in for scale and measurements.

First showing the adjustments available on the front upper GPU support, lower rear GPU support and center fan mounting plate.




Various views around the gpu.

This looks like a regular 4u server chassis with everything ripped apart and sold at OEM prices. Doesn't even come with the risers attached or fans

From the pictures, I can't tell if this enclosure has support for more than one power supply. It probably wouldn't be too difficult to mod, but when they're designing this specifically for mining, it seems a bit odd.

For that price though, I'll stick with my cheap file crate "cases". This might be aimed more towards large-scale miners, although without modifications, this one might not achieve the extreme number of cards per rig that some are looking for. (This one looks like it'll allow for 9 dual-slot cards. 6 cards on risers towards the front, up to 3 in the back, directly on the motherboard. Selecting an appropriate board to fully utilize the expansion slots in the back could make things a bit more difficult.)

Now I'm wondering if one could fit 12 cards up front, with each card secured with one screw in a pre-existing hole, and another made by drilling. Of course, then we get back to the issue of adding another PSU to power all the cards, not to mention cooling all of them.

Let us know what you think once yours arrives!


 It doesn't support dual power supplies as supplied.
 It's also badly named - a GPU rig is NOT a viable option for "Bitcoin" mining, though I suppose they used "Bitcoin" because folks recognize the name.

 I don't think you want to try to mount more than the designed 7 cards in it, you need space for COOLING of the cards.


 Up side - the middle fan mounts have lots of space for HIGH FLOW fans.
 They DO need to open up the front more though, those small holes ARE going to restrict airflow.

It's not really going to be able to handle more than 6-7 gpu's without issues I think.

I just seen this today and decided to order one to check it out.

Looks interesting enough that I ordered one even tho I don't have enough GPU's to fill it at the moment.

EDIT: And its on sale for $109.00..... that sure beats buying the regular one for less then modding it.

Does not even come up on Rosewills US website. It's cool that a mainstream company is offering something for the mining crowd.

I'm not sure about the door but it looks like it needs to be removed and mount some fans in its place.
