This is 30 liter case - dimensions ~ 30x25x40cm

specs:
i5 7500 (i know i should use celeron) but i bought whole set (mobo cpu ram for cheap)
8gb ram
msi b250m pro-vd + 2x pci-e expander 4x riserUSB
660W seasonic platinum
custom cables 2x (EPS 8pin @ 4x riser)
3x 120mm corsair 0,25A fan (@ 5V) very silent (even for 7V) - I can sleep 50cm of it - no problem) - also perfect for cat ppl - lol (top of case about 30*C)
8x 1050ti (7x kalmx + 1x zotac - i have 8x kalmx but i have probably damaged riser - when i plug stormx or kalmx gpu in there - no boot and squeeky noise from riser - with zotac no problem) - it will be replaced after I made panels

total power consumption 470W @ mining ETH

I know, I know - You will say - this is OVEN - NO SPACE GPU - WROOOONG - NO - I made project especially for 1050ti - each consumpt about 56-58W - temps are low - sth about 50/50/55/55/65/55/50/50*C (this 65*C is probably middle card in "dead zone" of fan but work OK)

- TO DO LIST:
- front panel/other side panel
- expander @ riser to prevent stick out of case (or resolder USB connectors for angled ones)


- PS (i have next project coming soon) - 30liters as well but maybe i can fit 12 gpu ;)

Large form factor and GPU mining :(

To be fair, if you compare the Nano itx to most cases user here have, there's nothing small form factor about it lol.

Looks like a nice and clean build with quite a lot of components for the form-factor.
Don't mind the mining-haters, they are obnoxious sometimes but most are just frustrated people with a heart of gold. :-)

Very efficient use of the space!

Even tho not SFF(SFF is <20 Liters), it is definitely space efficient.

What is the total hash rate and what do you mine?

fractal itx nano is 27 liters and can fit 1 gpu
but i apologize - please remove if it doesnt fit there

Nice answer! XD
I really don't like the Fractal Nano for its space inefficiency [Manta and Evolv ITX are worse though...], so what you've done in 30 litres is amazing.
GLW mining, the prices really are a rollercoaster ride at the moment... hang in there.

Welll, at least mining isn`t artificially driving up the price of GPUs...............................

I made some cad drawings but I don't know if i thought about everything

if yes, there will be 3 cases but totally different look than this one

- 8 gpu low profile 13,3 liters
- 8 gpu regular 16,8 liters
- 12 gpu regulard 24,8 liters

all designed for low power gpus (1050ti/rx560)

Very cool! :)

Definitely SFF compared to all the other 8x GPU mining rigs!

Do you have any pics during construction to share?

nothing much to see bcoz all parts (panels + alu profiles are ordered) laser cut + manual lathe)
I only do cad drawing + some manual drilling + m3/m4 threading profiles
but next week I will get front and side panel from laser shop so then I will make pics from inside

also one more pic (better screws)


and temps

case is made from alu 10x10 solid profiles + laser cut 2mm alu panels

this is pics from bigger one

but the same layout (just shorter) and fans are on side
