GPU Mining Specific Lockable Cabinet

[BIGMIG]

I am currently prototyping my own personal self made grow cabinet and repurposing it into a mining cabinet.

My question to my fellow miners is. Would you be interested in specific mining cabinet like this, yes or no? I am trying to gauge whether people would be interested in something like this. Something very different to an open air rig and your typical grow “tent”

It does have three point locking and rubber castor wheels for easy movement if needed.

The current size I estimate it can hold two complete motherboards along with two server psu’s and breakout boards, also some spinning hdd’s for chia. It could potential hold 24 GPU’s and has inlet and outlet ports along with a quite 4 inch extractor fan. It is a custom cabinet and NOT a sever rack. I had originally designed and manufactured it for indoor cannabis growing but due to eskom and load shedding I decided to stop.

Currently I have only got one gpu and 4 hdd’s. The gpu is not on a riser but two will be arriving soon, then I will be able to hang it.

Some pics of the cabinet.

This is a prototype and thus a lot of changes still need to be made. Custom sizing can also be achieved and definitely a decent range of colours.

This is cool but you can do the same with growing tents which'll likely be much cheaper & accessible overall.
That cabinet will more than likely need a bottom intake as well because all I see there is an oven to bake cards xD

Hi

I will agree a grow tent will be cheaper but not by much. Locally prices are above overseas. I will add a few points. They are not very secure use up a large foot print and can’t really move it around.

Currently the cabinet in the pics does have bottom side entry air holes. The quantity is greater than the exhaust and situated at the sides and back. So the extractor won’t battle to move air. I had done testing and air is moving from the bottom toward the top. I do believe that being made from metal that the actual cabinet will help to pull heat away and passively radiate it. A grow tent would hold the heat in as it is made from fabric and has reflective surfaces inside.

Like I said this is a prototype and many changes would need to happen. For one is dead of holes in the middle bottom I could add along the entire width, a larger exhaust fan can be fitted.

I will add that my very lonely GTX1080 was sitting at about 62 degree in an airflow case but now it has dropped to about 57.

But thank you for your feed back. That is the point of this thread.
