Woah man, nice! Forget about my idea. What size would the fan be? I dont remember dimensions of he board so well
Board is 10 x 15 cm.

But wiring would be tricky.

Sure, i was only drawing six because i got tired  Grin

you can use a one-size-fits-all case, providing space for 8 pieces. If you only have 2 this is not the perfect case for you, but with 4+ you can get either more space between each or simply use half of the case, putting other stuff in the other half. A shee-metal bend to the form of a U with screws coming from the sides would provide a fitting for any possible combination (every second slot is used, every third or whatev you like). Maybe this couldbe considered Smiley

also you can make a case for 4 units, if you need to stack 8 just put another one next to it.

I've been messing around with a 4 board, single 120mm fan arrangement:

At this stage I'm in limbo between DHL and UPS. The former is a bit cheaper the latter is a bit more reliant.
For the numbers you can calculate it online on their websites, weight per module: ~500g.
For bigger numbers of boards I'll ship them in multiple packages.


UPS!


I have lost a staggering amount of parcels through DHL this year. Only use DHL if it is express. If you knew what DHL did with my last FPGA package (They sent it back and forth, sure that they are too stupid enough to read my doorbell...) and last packages from the US, definitely go with UPS.

UPS is so slow. The Best is DHL express with much fast and tracking friendly service! U pay more but they definitely deserve it!

Cant follow you in that case, I ship daily a lot with several services in our business & in Central Europe they are the fastest. They can handle high senstive products like that & in my opinion are worth their money when transporting such risky items. DHL Express is also OK for their money but it will be always the higher price level services you have to choose, don`t care what provider you have.

Had 3 weeks ago again problems with DHL as they needed over a week from Germany to Austria. Finally our normal post guy brings it in - paying a lot to DHL that they outsourced and changed it to stupid normal post way sending. Just my point!

You might check out this test about german shipment providers: http://www.computerbild.de/artikel/cb-Tests-Sicherheit-Paketdienste-Test-DHL-Hermes-DPD-GLS-6816000.html
They shipped measuring devices to check how they handle the packages. DHL won overall and was the fastest.

I like the stacking the way it is now. For my purpose two sidewalls plus some option to mount a pi or PSU on top of it would be perfect. This case would look extremely simple, like this:



sorry for my paint skills.

red are the fans like shown before and blue some mounting holes or small feets. I like the stacking, even though it has 99 fans on it.

just my 2 satoshis

you can do it only  this way if you have 6 boards with 3 fans. But not with more, because it overturns then.

This is in burnin's first post:

Assembly cost can be paid in BTC or Eur. (Paypal, Wire Transfer)
Expect about 80 Eur assembly cost per module (that doesn't include chip cost).
For The 20 Chip Module expect about 100 Eur.


what do you need more?Huh?

has anyone a good idea for a case for bigstack with 8 or 10 boards?? A case would make a really better airflow backwards, too.
It would be great if someone could design and offer cases for Bitburners.
Also looks like a good business to me.

BTW: Do I undestand the drawings properly that there is no sense in ordering/stacking an uneven number of boards?


I might go and design a 19" case for them with space for power supply & a raspi.
That depends how much time I can pour into that.
And you CAN stack uneven numbers, but half of one fan's area will be unused.

Sind die PCB´s eigentlich in irgendeiner Hülle? so wie bei BFL in Plastik.
Oder brauche ich eine bestimmte Unterlage für die Platten?

Die werden ohne weiteres Gehäuse geliefert, ich werde wohl einen Standfuß anbieten damit die Stacks nicht leicht umfallen können.
Aber es geht auch ohne, einfach auf eine glatte, gerade oberfläche stellen.

Does anyone have an estimate on shipping cost of assembled boards to the U.S.? I did a quick search in this thread and have been following it, but didn't find this info.

Related, what would I need to prepare for in regards to getting the shipment through US customs?

+ 1 also awaiting some rough numbers as well.

+2

I am trying to see whats the best option cost/turnaround/reliability-wise.

My idea of creating boards with Snap in sockets for chips is not a good idea?
This way we wont need to send our chips to burnin, and we can easily mount the chips ourselves..
I imagine heating could be a problem as they are creating space from the board if the cooling is mounted underneath the boards.

Its even in the FAQ in the OP... (agreed that OP its a bit outdated by now)

If i remember correctly then burnin stated that the order of assembly will be the payment time of assembly, not of chip ordering. Thats the first paramater. The second is when chips arent there yet then later orders are processed first. For example someone bought assembly for batch 7 in zefirs groupbuy and batch 5 isnt with burnin yet then he starts to create miners for the chips that are already there but paid later.
I think thats a good solution without problems.

He said that the payment time of assembly will only be relevant for assembly position within the batch your chips are in, so If you are the first to order on his website but you have your chips in Zefir's batch 7 it'll only mean that you are the first from batch 7 to get your chips assembled.
Which is consistent I think with my proposition of opening the ordering book by turns for each batch based on date, to avoid having to match and sort thousands of random orders with their chip batch number.


Clarification coming up:
The batch is relevant, because that's the order in which I will receive the chips.
Even if you were to be the very first person to order on my website, i could only assemble and send you your boards once I received the batch your chip are in.
And that's why the batch is relevant.
Within one batch the succession of the order number is determining the position in the queue.

Would be a strange workflow then by adding additional layers of unnecessary difficulties. But if he wants to go this way ok...

I'll think about it, SebastianJu interpreted my current scheduling system correctly.

I would LOVE to see a case for burnins boards.
Minimal design, dust filter at the front and wire frame on the back would be nice..
Some free space / slot on the bottom for adding a PSU - that's it.

but how a barebone...not with 6 fans on top of each other....for example a 2x3 is more stable...
And a horizontal 1x6 has a worse airflow then a vertical version ....

And I promised mechanical drawings and new renders.

Bigger stack of 8 boards (160 Chips):
