Nakamoto Mining Case – High-Efficiency DIY Bitcoin Miner Enclosure for S19/S21 Hashboards
Nakamoto Mining Case – High-Efficiency DIY Bitcoin Miner Enclosure for S19/S21 Hashboards
Stop stacking small miners and start building something that actually moves serious hashrate.
The Nakamoto Mining Case is our best-performing DIY Bitcoin miner case yet. Designed around real Antminer S19/S21 hashboards, this case gives builders a cleaner, stronger, and more efficient way to run a single hashboard setup using an APW3++ or APW7 power supply.
This is the case for anyone who wants more performance than a Bitaxe, more flexibility than an Avalon-style desktop miner, and a cleaner setup than a pile of small miners running everywhere.
In our testing, the Nakamoto Mining Case delivered the best results of any miner enclosure we have built so far. If you want to improve your setup, reduce the clutter, and build a serious DIY Bitcoin miner, this is the case to start with.
Why Build the Nakamoto Mining Case?
Most small miners are fun, but they add up fast. Multiple Bitaxes, Gammas, or small desktop miners can quickly turn into a messy setup with extra cables, extra power bricks, extra heat, and more devices to manage.
The Nakamoto Mining Case is built for a different approach:
Use one real Antminer hashboard.
Use a real mining power supply.
Use proper intake and exhaust airflow.
Build a compact, powerful DIY miner that feels closer to a real ASIC than a desk toy.
This case is designed for builders who want to step up from hobby-sized miners into a cleaner, more powerful single-hashboard Bitcoin mining setup.
What’s Included
This kit includes the 3D printed case pieces only.
You will receive:
- Front Intake Piece
- Middle Piece with APW3++ / APW7 Holder
- Hashboard Case Section
- Rear Exhaust Piece
- Control Board Cover
- Terminal Cover
- Handle
The case ships in multiple printed pieces and must be glued together before use. We recommend using Oatey Clear Primer, which is commonly available at local hardware stores for around $8.
What You Need to Supply
To build a working miner, you must supply the mining hardware and electronics separately.
You will need:
- S19 or S21 hashboard
- Compatible control board
- APW3++, APW7, or compatible power supply
- Fans
- Fan cables
- Power cables
- Control cables
- Connectors and wiring shown in the original build video
- Glue / bonding agent such as Oatey Clear Primer
This listing is for the case kit only. It does not include the hashboard, control board, power supply, fans, wiring, or mining electronics.
Built for Serious DIY Bitcoin Miners
The Nakamoto Mining Case is ideal if you are:
- Tired of managing a fleet of small miners
- Looking for more hashrate than a Bitaxe-style setup
- Wanting a cleaner single-hashboard miner build
- Building around S19 or S21 hardware
- Trying to improve airflow and organization
- Following the Engineering the Odds Nakamoto Miner build video
- Wanting a more powerful DIY miner without buying a full-size ASIC
Important Notes
This is a DIY case kit and requires assembly. You should be comfortable working with mining hardware, power supplies, fans, wiring.
Because this is a DIY mining enclosure, final performance will depend on your hashboard, power supply, firmware, tuning, fans, ambient temperature, and build quality.
All sales are final.
⚡ Start Here: Hashboard / Miner Options
These are the main parts you’ll need to start the build. The hashboard is the heart of the miner, so choose the option that fits your budget and performance goals.
S19XP Hashboard or Full Miner
Great option if you want strong efficiency and performance for a DIY build.
S21 Hashboard
Higher-performance option for those wanting to build around newer-generation hardware.
Control Board — Required if Buying an Individual Hashboard
If you buy only a single hashboard instead of a full miner, you’ll also need a compatible control board.
🔌 Power Supply + Power Cables
APW3 Power Supply
Used to power the hashboard and keep the build simple for a DIY setup.
8 AWG 3/16" M5 Power Cables
Used to connect the PSU to the hashboard.
Buy:
- 1× Red Cable
- 1× Black Cable
🌬️ Cooling Parts
Good cooling is extremely important for this build. Do not skip the fans.
Arctic Pro 120mm Fans — 4 Required
High-performance fan option for keeping the hashboard cool.
Quieter 120mm Fans — 4 Required
Better option if noise is a concern and you want the build to run quieter.
12V PWM Fan Controller — Only Needed for S21 Builds
Use this if you’re building with an S21 hashboard and need fan control.
📡 Controller / WiFi Parts
WiFi Controller
Allows you to connect the miner via WIfi instead of Ethernet
12V to 5V USB Buck Converter
Used to power the WiFi adapter from the miner’s power setup.
