Flexdesign GPU Mining Case Review and unboxing.

IMG_5732.JPGHey Guys,
since not all like open Air Mining Frame Rigs, or need to have closed Rigs for hosting in a Data Center i looked around for Server Case's who can work with at least 6 GPU.
First i started with using an IPC Server and ripping all the stuff out i don't need and adding some stuff to host the GPU.
(Server Cases are not intended to serve for GPU Rigs, where you want to put your GPU usually a HDD Shelf is mounted.)
Self build Rig based on IPC-Case:
8 GPU Rig

6 GPU Rig

Since it took always 1-2 Hours to Rip the unneeded stuff out and get the Frame in, i decided to find some Purpose Build Cases.

While browsing thru Bitcointalk i found a Thread from Flexdesign (http://www.flexdesign.lv/en/products/datortehnika/) and orderd:

2X FX-6.2.6
2X FX-6.3.6

They ship from Latvia and and shipping cost is around 20 Euro per Case.

They came in 2 Big Packages, 1 was already a bit Damaged on the outside.

The other Package looked ok from the outside:

when i opend the first Package, i quickly realized that the Packaging was very poor and at least 2 of the Cases took Damage during Transport. I don't blame DPD, i think it is due to inproper Packaging from Flexdesign.
You can see that the outside is bended ;(

I will contact Flexdesign and see how they handle this Issue.
But back to the Review itself, one of the Reason to order this Cases was, that i can immideatly start building the Rigs,
since these cases are "prepared" for taking the Riser.

The Screws are already Pre-mounted and you get also screws to fix the Power Supply and GPU.IMG_5736.JPG

You can simply start build your Rig immideatly. The Motherboard Stand off Screws are als pre-mounted.

The View from the Front clearly shows that you can attach 120 mm Fans to the Case (no Screws for that in the Package)

I will also Post an "Build a Rig with Flexdesign" Case here if you Guys want to see how that Rig looks like when it is completed.

Currently i have mixed Emotions, i really like that Cases but the poor Packaging is simply not accecptable for such a neat Product.
