there is nice contest here:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.18045600

so... fighting for Grand Prix Wink

Done!

P.S.
I must add one more hint...
it's nice to preserve SLI pins at least with some adhesive tape or plastic cover
because some of pins may be dimmed after months

the current project wouldnt work for windy installations i suppose, rain would just be blown sideways inside the container
where i live the wind can blow rain at an almost 90° angle

during that more than half of year - there were many rainy, really windy days
that metal netting surface is just to catch a watter drops,
and doubled one by one in 1cm distance - is just to catch most strong watter drops, which potentially goes beyond the first surface

as I wrote somewhere: after some time, I forgot my early thoughts about switching it off during a storm

Hot air being lighter than cool air, it create under the table a pocket of hot air protecting your hardware from humidity & such,

that is exactly what I want to say... PSU is more sensitive for humidity than GPU's (e.g. my 750Ti were totally humidity resistant)
and PSU takes an air a bit warmed by GPUs, so the humidity is decreased there

It would be possible if you make a cube out of the table, you screw the tablefeet onto a wood plate, and weight it with a brick or 2, that should take care of the wind, just increase the size of the sides you could also put additional sides @45° angles to break the wind/rain but keep cool air coming. It wouldn't come as cheap as original solution but not that much more

yeah that might work, building something like an umbrella around/on top of the table

stickied for later use Tongue

if you ever build it send some pics Wink

You say mobo and psu is proteted against humidity? how?

because the way how air circulate under the table and some instalation gadgets

the best proof is that all of my PSU's still work fine,
after summer and winter true tests

Hot air being lighter than cool air, it create under the table a pocket of hot air protecting your hardware from humidity & such, i guess you didn't put it in a too much windy place

For the insect life i bet it would be enough to just have sides to keep the hot air, and a fine grill under to close up the rig space. Should also keep rodents out

Still curious... unless you have an inlet of dry air coming in how does the table alone protect against humidity?

What a awesome project!!

I was thinking about this but then I changed my mind because the birds and insects would harm the Rig.

Superb! What are the lowest temperatures your rig has experienced in the winter?
And what were the highest temperatures in summer?

I really like your design!

between -15 -20C degree in winter (fans sometimes stop for a while)
25-30 in summer (GPU about 70C and fans 50%)

Thanks, I have myself been toying with the idea but always ended up not trying because of moisture and dust from a road nearby, thats a bad combination Tongue

Ok, this rig passed a winter test perfectly, so it seems I may disclose it now...

It seems that the 1070 are very hot cards, because my R9 380 are colder with a reasonable fan speed and are in my not so cold basement. If I put my miners outside, they can get to 40°C or less easily I think.

Doubt it - R9 380s tend to run in the 70C-80C range OR HIGHER when mining from everything I've seen.
No bloody WAY they're running at 40c WHEN MINING.

If you have software that's claiming they're running that cool, I'd BET it's either broken or it was older software for the HD 7xxx / R9 2xx series that wasn't updated correctly for the R9 3xx series.

Now, with MSI Afterburner, I can tell you that my cards are running between 52°C and 59°C with fans pushed at a bit more of half of their capacity.
