It took quite some time on the CAD to find a solution where I would not block any of the PCIe Slots and still have some relatively OK concept for the cooling airflow. Initially I thought that the housing would be really spacious for just a small 1700W Power supply and up to 8 GPU's and some fans.turns out I was wrong. Of course this project took much longer than I expected. I like them both.Īs far as I know, with OSX I currently don't have good Nvidia CUDA Support and most GPU Render engines need it, at the moment my main machine is a HP z820 Workstation with 2 x E5-2690 Xeons and 128GB of RAM.old, affordable but still lots of PCIe lanes. People might love or hate Apple for various reasons, but let's all agree: they build nice looking housings! I've decided instead of buying a cheap and ugly housing somewhere, that I could repurpose an old Powermac G5 housing and adapt it for this project. It's a used PCIe expansion backplane from Cyclone Microsystems the PCIe2-429 (Plus the PCIe2-436 Upstream Adapter Card and the PCIe2-426 Host Adapter Card). In theory it will be able to scale up to 8 GPU's, at the time of writing I only own 3 relatively powerfull GPU's but I only just started collecting So thanks and credits to user hoeveler for the inspiration! I got the inspiration for this from this thread: Here's my first (and possibly last) eGPU custom build.
