Yeah 100 bucks and a mover blanket like this http://www.harborfreight.com/72-in-x-80-in-moving-blanket-69505.html

would be safe from fire since the silver bubble wrap and the shelf keep the blanket from fire danger.

but if you were look for just sound proof

the two sets of shelf from target are 31.50+31.50 = 63 + 64 + 9 for the moving blanket = 136 for 10 s9's

http://www.target.com/p/adjustable-3-tier-wide-wire-shelving-chrome-room-essentials/-/A-17136152? ----- 63 usd

http://www.harborfreight.com/72-in-x-80-in-moving-blanket-69505.html ------------------------------------- 9 usd

136 usd for 10 s9's no fire issues and good sound reduction

So if you want to make these cheaper..

you can buy this

http://www.lowes.com/pd/Reflectix-100-sq-ft-Reflective-Roll-Insulation-48-in-W-x-25-ft-L/3011906 40 bucks for 25 ft by 4 feet

http://www.target.com/p/adjustable-3-tier-wide-wire-shelving-chrome-room-essentials/-/A-17136152?lnk=abtest_searchpdp_3 31.50 for 1 set. 63.00 for 2 sets

that is about 100 dollars

you could fit 10 s9's on first rack
you could fit psu's on second rack

and you could lay a mover blanket over the silver foil

'The right to privacy matters'

yeah I also used this shelf from target.

http://www.target.com/p/adjustable-3-tier-wide-wire-shelving-chrome-room-essentials/-/A-17136152?lnk=abtest_searchpdp_2

it was 32 bucks. and I got 2 sets of it along with the 92 for the silver foam.

so 92 + 32+ 32 = 166 allows 2 shelf sets which can fit a lot of gear.

The silver tunnel moves all air in the right direction It also cuts sound quite a bit.. but in my case it stops rain fall.

I lost an eth rig to hurricane Matthew but I was lucky the atx pus got wet and killed the mobo at the 8 pin plug in.

the four gpus are good
the cpu is good
the m2 ssd is good
the ram is good.

one shelf rack and the better foam in a double thickness

I then did a second tier of water proof with this

http://www.lowes.com/pd/Reflectix-100-sq-ft-Reflective-Roll-Insulation-48-in-W-x-25-ft-L/3011906

it is 40 bucks for 25 feet and it cut sound down some what but it really work well to prevent leaks.

Job has room for 2 or 3 eth rigs on second shelf

Okay Hurricane Matthew came and left and it exposed leaks in the solar array roofing.

outside view of array's exhaust vent

heavy rain and wind got water in.

solution for now is build a tent.

Use this item from amazon

I got a four by 18 piece for 92 bucks. I doubled it to help the sound.
I used a heavy duty staple gun I used the box it was shipped in to peak the roof .
