I only own the A3, but comparing it to photos I see online, almost all of the Antminer models look about the same. I haven't taken my unit apart or anything but it seems like the boards are also just resting on a platform underneath them. Is this a financial decision or is there something that is preventing Bitmain from just creating a standardized design where boards can be swapped (similar to a blade server).
On the same subject, is there anything preventing a company from creating an asic board that plugs into a pcie slot? Seems crazy that all of the asic miners out there have these strange designs that can't be rack mounted and don't conform to any sort of computing standard.
