That looks really nice, especially with the fans. What size fans are those? 140mm?
Thanks. 120mms.

Hmm, so $10 difference between v1 assembled and v2 assembled.

He may have just missed it - he's always responded very promptly to my emails.

Someone who does not respond to emails to potential buyers is someone who does not want to sell. Mail sent 7 days ago and still hope to answer the total cost for ordering.

Hey Rich, can you hook me up with one of those metal plates to secure the PSU in place. I have a V1 case. I might be interested in a V2 case once I score another 25 G kit.
They are the same plates used to mount the fans. You will need to acquire a couple of #6-32 bolts (1/4-inch) and some washers to attach the tab to the PSU.
Ah ok. I totally missed that. Thanks for the info.
On a different note, how much do you anticipate your v2 case will cost?

I would love an enclosed case for my October order. Enclosed w/vents and optional fan mounts. Any plans for that?
Great work, by the way!

Thanks.
An enclosed version might happen...will probably just be another option, consisting of another post (to go next to the PSU) and some al sheeting.

Here's the V2:
Just like the V1, these are stackable (any conbination of V1 and V2).
Here's how multiple trays are fastened together:

Here is my V1. Looking forward to the V2
I'm working on it.
Do you require it to be fully enclosed, or is this open design ok?
I forgot I had asked this question a while back. Anyway, open air is fine for me.
Any update on the version that can fit in a standard 19-inch rack? I'd be interested in those.
With the current version 2 of these can stand sideways vertically using 13U or 14U of height, but there will be is a lot of wasted space.

...
how about the ability to have two units onto one? Will it fit with the existing design minus the fans?

Yes, the size of the case remains the same, so these will stack on V1 cases.

Since the BitFurys seem to be able to run just fine without any/much cooling, I've decided to simplify the case a bit:
Fans can still be attached to the bottom extrusions or to the top support beam (via an optional set of fan tabs and fasteners).
Note that the PSU is now fastened to the tray (via two stainless steel "fan tabs").
These changes will reduce the cost of the case somewhat and allow me to build them faster.
Thoughts?

That power supply should run an entire 400 Gh/s set (starter kit + 15 more hashing cards) with about 50% to spare.
Fantastic. Thanks.

Got mine set up. Just waiting for a starter kit to fill in. Not too certain that the power supply will need to be swapped to the other side, but I'll find out soon enough. I figure it would take maybe all of 10 minutes to make that modification if it's necessary. I've got the fans mounted on the outside of the brackets for the moment.
It's hard to belive that the hashing boards are really as small as this case seems to indicate. Somehow I pictured them as much larger...

What power / watt and brand PSU are you using.?
What is recommended for a 25 GH/s kit.?
It's a Rosewill 750 bronze (80+) gaming PSU. Picked it up from Newegg some time ago when it was on special (for around $59 as i recall.)
Thanks.! Is that good enough to run one single starter kit.? How many hashboards will it support (just curious to know for future).
Am following original thread by dave but i guess i missed the power supply part.!
