![]()Yooper Crate in the Wild

This crate was designed to hold and reduce the noise of a Bitcoin miner while distributing the heat. As with most of these boxes lately, I have to give credit for the basic design to Steve Barbour. Thanks to many in the Pleb Miner Mafia.

The prices are circa early 2022.

![]()Yooper Crate Cut Out Plans (right mouse click - save image, for a legible copy)

**I followed the plans and it turned out solid. Below you will find a picture journey from Start to Finish. Most shopping was done at Menards, Lowes, and Amazon. Parts list at the bottom.**

![]()Cheapest, decent board I could find that had .74” actual thickness. Beware, this stuff has sharp edges and will slice your hands. Gloves required!

![]()Main screws I used for most of the assembly

![]()Screws I used when I didn’t want to break through the other side

![]()Pieces all cut out on a table saw

![]()Started with the divider wall with internal hot/cold register

![]()![]()![]()Figured out how the filter was going to lay in. I made the intake and outlet side the same so I can reverse flow if needed.

![]()Air Filter - Probably not my final one but something to start with. I don’t want choke out the airflow

![]()Intake/Outlet side: .75” reveal to plan for the bottom piece coverage

![]()Pilot holes for the air flow cutouts

![]()Backside of Intake/ Outlet side - ready for jigsaw cutout

![]()![]()![]()Figuring out the duct mount

![]()![]()![]()![]()![]()Intake, Outlet, and Divider

![]()Assemble the Horizonal/ Vertical Air Flow Flanges x2

![]()Flow flanges added to the pile

![]()Attach the Asic shelf to the Divider wall

![]()Asic shelf assembly added to the pile

![]()Attach bottom to hinge side

![]()![]()Attach Intake/ Outlet Sides

![]()Attach divider assembly. Notice small support blocks

![]()Attach Horizontal/Vertical Flow flanges. Notice support blocks

![]()Few screws into support block

![]()Internal assembly complete

![]()Added small casters

![]()![]()Added handles

![]()Misc. hardware

![]()Home sweet home

![]()Sound dampening: D.Y.O.R. - I used 4 layers of old bath towel on each surface and the compressed air staple gun was key

![]()![]()Window seal for around the top

![]()D.Y.O.R. - Mounted some drywall for a little fire protection

![]()Window intake/ outlet for ducting

![]()Flexible ducting

![]()Picking a spot for my 220v - Hire a professional unless you absolutely know what you are doing

![]()![]()![]()![]()![]()![]()Custom Cover

![]()Not my best work, but all set for an S19JPro

![]()S19JPro Overclocked

![]()75.7 DB with top open and fans at 77%

![]()47.5 DB with top closed at 45% (bringing in cold U.P. air on intake side). I added anti-vibration foam between asic shelf drywall and the miner and I believe it got even quieter

![]()Final setup with laptop, node, miner, Yooper Crate, 92F outlet air temp heating the house
