It also looks like you could put a large fan between the PSU's on the front though it would have to be a hell of a high pressure high cfm fan to supply the three 120-140's in the center so open air may be better.
Those PSU's should exhale onto the GPUs or have a vent to push the air above or below the gpu's

Very close. But that beast looks to be 6-8 Rack units which nets 50-75% rigs per rack compared to my solution. Also you have PCI brackets still on the cards for mounting and power below the cards which is a terrible idea for heat.
*And why would you put all that hardware in a rig and use a 3.5" non SSD hard drive?
*And why would you put all that hardware in a rig and use a 3.5" non SSD hard drive?
The Power supplies are in the back under the cards to have the power connectors to the rear.
No heat is added as most newer PS'S ext to the back.
The hard drive is an example any drive bracket can be made.
I plan on doing these as kit (build your own) systems with options like rear card supports, extra fan banks, MB under GPU for standard risers and PS to the front.
The issue I see is that you are drawing heat from the GPU's and pulling it into the PSU, It's likely better than my solution which spits PSU heat into the GPU's but it's still going to heat up the PSU a lot. Especially if you are like me and load up PSU's to 90-110% 24x7
Here's a quick concept update in 4u.

Can you put 140MM fans in that center bank, make the gpu's center mounted vertically so there is room above and below, leave the space between the gpus open on the back of the case so air can flow by the cards (needed for non reference model cards)

This is 6u I have yet to be able to get 2 PS, mb, and 6 gpu into less then 5 and even then there is very little room for the top connectors on the gpu's
PM me for a phone number to chat if your interested.

I can do it in 4u if you don't mind it almost 30" deep.

Are you looking fore something like this?
I am about to run a batch of these thru my shop is 16ga stainless steel.

Something like that, but your proposal is definitely higher than 4U.
What is the height you are planning?

I added a "technical" drawing to the OP
Standart Motherboard or ?...
Can you PM me an email or any IM profile... I'll talk with the designer to see how we can come up with something efficient enough for shipping

I'm going to look at these once when I unbox and load them up. After that I won't see them again for 6-12 months. You can make these out of the ugliest crap you can find for all I care. Or paint them hot pink. Or use left over car parts. I only care about function.
Also if you can make the frame and internal mounting setup I could have the top/bottom/sides made here in the US to save on shipping costs. And if you can make it some assembly required you could flat pack it to save more on shipping.

Then this looks like a project we can work on... We make custom industrial frames all the time so this is not any different...
Do you have any ideas on the design?

It's all stated in the OP:
Quote
Mounting bracket (front and back) to fit in a standard 19" 4 post rack at 24-30" depth
4U max height
mounting plates for 2 sets of 3-4 120mm x 38mm fans
mounting equipment for 6 GPU's (With no PCIE metal brackets attached!)
*Adjustable positioning of cards/card spacing
The power supply will be a Corsair AX1200 or similar
GPU's must be on the rear of the frame facing the rear of the rack when mounted.
must have top/bottom and both sides covered with an easy to remove lid.
must have room to plug in power to the top of the GPU's and extenders to the bottom of the GPU's
It has to be made of metal. No plastic/cardboard/etc. etc.
Rack Specifications: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/19-inch_rack
I could send a hollowed out RSV-L4500 for reference and parts to someone who can make this exist:

Where are you guys located? We can make it in Europe but shipping will be pricey
Shipping wouldn't be as much of an issue if I grabbed 12-144 of them from you.

I'm in the US.

Nearest I have found is the Cyclone cases, but they arent cheap!
Can you post a link ? Only thing google came up with for me were guitar cases, or something. 
?
Thanks. Yeah, those boards with 8 PCIe slot are way too pricey. Plus, 8 high-end videos card in 4U is overkill in terms of energy density, if you plan to fill a complete rack - which would be maxed out between 8-14kW, accordings to my recent inquiries.
So 4-5 cards per 4U seems about right. I just ordered one case to fiddle with it, and see what can be done.
Those still won't come close to what I need.
