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.  Cheesy

You're looking at probably $2k+ for reach 4 or 5U system.

My problem is the unused data center space.  I can't stick open rigs into a real datacenter so I've been looking for rackmount solutions.

I would be interested in these as well! Like really interested. We'd probably buy a ton of them.

Two thing I'd change:

Limiting the GPUs from 6 to 5? Or at least making it an option? A standard GPU is ~1.5" wide? That RSV-L4500 is only 16.8" wide on the inside? That's barely 1.3" between the GPUs. At least with 5 GPUs, you can get up to a 1.8" spacing between them. We've been putting 5 GPUs on a 19" rack, and it's really narrow. I get jealous of these open aluminum rigs with like 2-3" between each of their GPUs.

Also, the option to build in a second PSU. I know space is a big concern in cramming all of this hardware in a chassis, but if it is even remotely possible, that'd be huge. Powering 6x 280x would require something bigger than a 1200W. May not be possible, but the hundreds of savings per rig make it worth looking into.

That said, if anyone wants to design/build one, I've been doodling for a few weeks now on different layouts and ways of mounting everything, and I'd be happy to share with you!

Also very interested. Probably going to order that Rosewell case just to fiddle with it. Just adding 2-3 aluminum support beams with tapped holes to fix the GPUs on risers should do the trick.
I also think that 5 is the max number of GPUs that will fit in there, but let's see what can be done.

Do you also think about moving your rigs into a data center before it gets hot this summer?

Have you verified that you can mount a GPU on risers in a 4u case?


Yes.

So far it would appear that I'll be having these manufactured

19" RackMount GPU Frame

Must Meet the following:
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.  I can burn down the DC on my own.

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:

LMGTFY links welcomed.
Forum links welcomed.  
I've found nothing that comes close to meeting these specs. Though I've been known to be late to the party.
