For a full 16 cards Rig, punin mentioned to use a 400Watt PSU 80+ , need to have 2 6pin PCIE connectors

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.?

Thanks for the pic. Looking forward to getting mine.

The orientation of the Pi on the new version of the m-board will require the PSU to be mounted on the right-hand side of the case.

^ Thanks.
Now shipping with a few extra fasteners to mount whatever, like this PSU switch:

If you are undecided on whether to get the pre-assembled case, here are the assembly instructions.
Very well done Rich. Reminds me of my old erector set.

The case is pre-drilled for all of the mounting holes on the current and forthcoming versions of the m-board. The different widths of the boards is handled by the ability to re-position the two support beams.

Although I don't have an m-board here, I've verified as well as I can that the Raspberry Pi will fit either plugged directly into the socket or mounted underneath the board.

when will the cases be available?
ASAP (2-3 weeks).
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.

I'm working on it.
Do you require it to be fully enclosed, or is this open design ok?

Nice work!
How difficult is the setup if we buy the flat-packed version? I would likely be down for 2.

A flat-packed case would arrive partially assembled, consisting of top and bottom halves. You would have to attach the feet, posts, fan tabs, standoffs, all of which would probably require about an hour of your time.
OK, how do we order? I have two Aug Bitfury's on order and would like to get these around the same time.
Oh! nevermind, This is the place right? https://megabigpower.com/shop/index.php?route=common/home
awwww They're more expensive than I remember Uggh, $1,300 is quite alot of money to me

You should send one of these to the bitfury reseller so they can stick a beta box into it so we can see what a complete unit looks like. It will be bad ass!

Whats the URL for the marketplace thread?

Well shoot... this does look pretty cool. Are all the mounting pieces adjustable just in case the PCBs are a MM or so off?
+1. @Spotswood : Do let me know. I have 3 Aug kits about to be delivered.
Would like to be in for a couple.
Thanks

Interested in 2, too...

Done. I'm looking for 2 as well.
