Congratulations on your 21 card build! I missed the live stream but I am catching up on the highlights now.
While this is probably not a viable build for me, I do enjoy watching your streams and picking up the tips and tricks you share. Keep up the good work.

Could you guys try and get your hands on the Colorful C.B250A-BTC PLUS V20
I am sure alot of us are really hyped for it! no risers and 8 gpus support.

I'd like it a LOT better if it offered at least one more inch of space between the slots - as it is right now, it's VERY marginal for cooling on mid-to-high level mining cards.
Forget running high-end GTX 1080 ti cards in it at all - they won't physically FIT.
so then what's the point of running a gpu that is half or less the speed of a 1080 in one rig, with a 12-18 x gpu setup, when i can do the same with my 1080ti on a 6x gpu rig?
Some altcoins aren't GTX 1080ti friendly.
Note that OP has some AMD cards in their "showoff" rig.

What a monster, lol. So I guess this is "build yourself a Panda miner". Any information on pricing?
Havent seen any pricing on the unit yet, Hopefully it will be a decent price for us.
seems a decent price from the chinese products, however I am not pretty sure how reliable it is.

Seems bro Philipma1957 has this already.
Intresting! Price seems like a nice deal. Will try and get one of the 8 gpu colorful motherboard for christmas.
Colorful 12 gpu motherboard also seems intresting with the 6 usb/pcie ports.

Still dont understand why people would want 19 GPUs on 1 mobo.
The economics of "cost per card" are slightly better on a massive rig than on multiple smaller rigs.
It can also be a little easier managing a farm of massive rigs, as you have fewer rigs to keep track of.
The tradeoff is the much bigger loss if a massive rig goes down, and the generally higher probability of something in a massive rig going wrong and causing it to crash.
Some folks just like the "bragging rights"" too.

I'm too. It's hard to construct, hard to maintain. Of course it looks great but unpractical
what kind of a GPU
It's too late mining profit now low, if 4 months ago i wold buy

That's awesome, no more riser issues and less cables going everywhere! Could get rid of my milk crate mining rig!
Great livestream. Awesome job getting a world record 21 cards working in Windows and dual minining to boot! Can't wait to see how far you can get it to go

Thanks
We are going to pull a few rigs down and see what we can build given these latest updates. I buy all of the hardware for the show, no company supplies anything, or has yet. I will see if we can get ahold of one of the colorful boards, looks interesting. Next series of testing is seeing if we can expand this past 21 now.

I don't understand why such complexity. First, it is expensive. Secondly problems with the software. Thirdly, and this is in my opinion the most important thing this setup in case of failure will bring the owner great lost profit. 19 the GPU is 3 racks. If the problem will be with one the two others are profitable. You don't store all coins in one wallet.
They try to bring down costs of other parts for such rig, like PSU,SSD, RAM and PROCESSOR costs will surely be less when having only 1 motherboard running 19 GPU-s at once compared that when you build 3 motherboards with 6 cards each.
Troubleshooting is the same as with a rig with 6 cards in terms of steps but of course here it is much more time consuming and that is a minus.
not to mention the centralized failure, if something has failed in the rig, all 19gpu's will also fails, imagine the number of GPU's being idled while doing the fix. clock is ticking, profit is tumbling.
ill stick to normal boards with 6 or 8 gpu support that mobo begs to differ with all the power connectors on the board its jsut giving its own pci e power support like the raiser cables do. Pushing all the power on motherboard no doubt gonan raise some problems. Hence why raiser will dominate but this does look interesting on the board.
Still dont understand why people would want 19 GPUs on 1 mobo.
I don't, but that motherboard makes multi-PS rigs a lot easier to manage than the other current alternatives.
I'm aiming for probably 11 or 14 cards on mine long-term.
I paid about $150 at Newegg about a week back for the ASUS 19-slot, and have seen mention of it on Amazon around the same price.
