Wondering if anybody here has managed to make a closed air mining rig.

The main benefit would be that its easier to direct the air exhaust and second reason would be it wouldn’t make your room look like something out of the movie “hackers”. I’m sure we all got parents, wives, girlfriends who all complained about the look of our ghetto rigs and “What do the guests think?”

I know you can buy those expensive 6-8 GPU 4U rackable cases, however they are VERY expensive and they are VERY loud.

Wondering if someone has managed to modify a full-size regular computer case and manage to run 4 GPUs or so all inside the case with decent temperature and noise.

Most likely the trade-off would be that we wouldn’t be able to use all 5-7 slots of the motherboards but for some with the Summer heat approaching it might not be a bad alternative.

Yeah I have and am doing so again. What I had was 5 750ti in one tower. No issues, now I’m doing 480/470 mix with Max 4 cards (most likely 3) and putting lots of fans in them. The wife would freak over my beast of hanging cards or my giant server.

I was looking to do something like this with my old CoolerMaster Centurion 590 and I had found this part to convert 5.25 bays to hold GPUs: http://www.bplus.com.tw/Adapter/PE4F.html

It was the only thing I could find, but was cost prohibitive. I have been thinking about using MakerBeam’s and the usual USB risers to accomplish the same thing, but haven’t had the time to investigate further.

Planning to do exactly the same thing.

Cooling may be the major problem. You can see this from Nvidia https://developer.nvidia.com/devbox, even four titan x can be filled into a regular ATX box (corsair 540), so lower TDP card should be fine.

I ask senior member here (Philipma1957), he tried to put 4X480 on the board biostar Z170GT7 open air(with four full PCIE, double slots spaced), I was told they were running stably and only thing you need to do is removing the GPU backplate. Double slots=4cm, while the AMD ref 480 is also 4cm, so you want to make a little space between them.

So just find a decent air flow case.

hope this will help.

also if you find some 10 or more slots case, you can add an extra GPU using the riser?

distribute…

i have a pc in each rooms (upstairs). a pc downstairs and a pc for surveillance…all are with a GPU or two (all are mining).

putting them in cases and letting them standing next to each other is useless, they are better off without cases

setup servers(different kinds), computerize/tech up your home and put GPUs in them to mine…by distributing them around you distribute the heat..

this is where the bigger and badder GPU’s have an advantage, take ZEC for example, 2x 1080 ti setup can give you 1400 sols.

note: the more GPU you can put at each PC the better.

tip: do you have a problem in specific areas where humidity is a bit high? where mold and mildew grows?…put a mining rig in that area

Yeah I have and am doing so again. What I had was 5 750ti in one tower. No issues, now I’m doing 480/470 mix with Max 4 cards (most likely 3) and putting lots of fans in them. The wife would freak over my beast of hanging cards or my giant server.

750ti was pretty low power draw, less than even a 470 iirc. larger cards will overheat a case more.

I have 2x 480 (8gb) in a corsair spec-01 case, and even at slight undervolting and TDP limiting, the case gets quite warm and they sit around 70C with 60% fans. If they were open-air, theyd probably be at 60C with 40% fans

24″ PCI-E cables with 16AWG wires and stripped ends – great for server PSU mods, best prices https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=563461 also selling 6″ M-F-M PCIe splitters and PCIe-PCIe
No longer a wannabe – now an ASIC owner!

My rig runs 4 EVGA hybrid 1080s in Corsair Air 540. At full load the cards run at 60~70C.
The case is designed for airflow. I also use a fan controller to balance between noise/cooling. It (white color) looks decent too.

If you want to build 4 way sli, definitely go water cooling/hybrid. The cards will sit extremely tight together. If you go air cooling they’ll choke.

Good to know the hybrid works so well. Just burned one of my two 1070 in a mid atx case. I know the upper one is hotter than the bottom one (~73 vs 60 degrees), but though that’s still in a reasonable range.

REALISTO Announces ICO to Launch Global Crowdfunded Real Estate Investment Marketplace

Berlin, Germany — November 02, 2017 — REALISTO, a Berlin-based decentralized real estate investing marketplace, has officially announced its November 7 ICO pre-sale and November 15 ICO, which will last one month through December 15. REALISTO’s blockchain-based platform bridges the gap between real estate experts and investors by giving experts a chance to tokenize projects and crowdfund capital from investors around the world, both casual and professional.

[Note: This is a press release.]

The two-sided marketplace will initially launch with curated Berlin properties selected by REALISTO’s team of local real estate experts. These projects will be tokenized, added to REALISTO’s platform and then crowdfunded, providing both sponsors and investors a platform to foster projects globally. ICO participants can contribute Ethereum (ETH) and bitcoin (BTC) to acquire REALISTO tokens (REA) to be used in active real estate investments.

REALISTO Co-CEO, Rouven Rosenbaum, explains, “The inspiration behind REALISTO was to create access to investment opportunities that have so far been fraught with danger and inefficiency for the individual investor. Additionally, it is our goal to provide a stable and reliable platform for real estate experts to capitalize their projects. With REALISTO, you can select what project to invest in, manage your investment on our app, track real-world market value, and then receive proportional returns.”

2018 Product Roadmap Includes Global Expansion and Security

REALISTO ICO funds will be used to implement a transparent and fraud-proof trustee-wallet system that will make misappropriation and misuse of funds impossible. A Data Room will also be provided for investors to view bank protocols and fund activity.

Leonard Zobel, REALISTO Co-Founder, states, “This secure system will be different than conventional real estate investment funds and other ICOs that offer asset-backed tokens. We will use a rigorous system of checks and balances that guarantee the safety of international investors who take a leap of faith and invest in global projects.”

REALISTO will also be expanding globally with projects ranging from commercial spaces to small residential objects, with a carefully curated portfolio mixed with various project types that cater to different investment goals, yield-to-risk ratios, budgets, and more. All projects will be featured on REALISTO’s mobile application that is built on the Ethereum Blockchain, with full-functionality to search and invest in selected projects.

REALISTO ICO Schedule (November 7 – December 15)
