4U Server Case 120mm Fan Hole Cable Guard

Overview

This collection is my attempt at creating a crypto currency mining server, using a generic 4U Server Case converted to contain Graphics Cards (GPU). You could also use this as a neural network farm, render farm, Folding@Home server, etc. During this journey, I needed to design several brackets and adapters to make parts and cables fit smoothly, and wanted to share these with the community. This collection also references several other printed parts that were extremely useful, but not my design. Recommend at least using PETG material due to heat inside the server case. Happy printing :)

This Model - 4U Server Case Fan Hole Cable Guard

The GYAM server case had a middle rail to mount additional 120mm fans. However, I needed to use one of these fan holes for my power supply cables and was concerned about the cut sheet metal damaging the cables and my fingers. This guard allows the cables to rest on plastic instead of metal, and is mounted using the same fan mounting holes and self-tapping fan mount screws into the plastic.
