Would you be so kind as to give me the complete list of parts/specs to build your frame?  The last time I built a simple chair it was very wobbly Sad  Thank you either way!!!

The fans at the back are 120vac and 100+ CFM each. The card temps range fro 67 ( with aftermarket cooler) to 77 on the 4 gigabyte cards and 75 to 89 on the MSI Twin Frozer cards.

Nice! How hard was it to get everything together in it? Basically just throw down the mobo's and PSU's, stick the cards in and done?

And how much were the risers/where from?

For those looking at building an open frame rig I thought it would be worth passing this on.

Go to ebay and search for "80/20 quick frame" (no quotes). That will take to the 80/20 inc. list of quick frame products. This stuff is great for building an open frame rig and the Aluminium extrusions can be purchased with a 1/4" lip for mounting the bottom edge of the PSU, fans etc.

I built one with 8 7970s, 4 850w PSU, and two motherboards. It does 6MH on litecoin.

I hope this helps others.

That looks awesome, but isn't the spacing between the video cards pretty small? How are your temperatures going after a day or so, and what cooling are you using right now/ambient temperatures?

And what is the cost of the frame?
