I have been scrypt mining on 2 x 280X since Dec using a regular computer cabinet. I use a raiser on one of the gpu cards so that they are not next to each other. The temps ran 82 on the gpu attached to the MB and 72 on the raised. This arrangement worked well.

Now in summer however, the gpu slotted on the 16x is 90c and the raised gpu is 84c. I have placed a cheap fan next to the cabinet and that seems to work for now.

I am contemplating builting an open rig but don't have any ideas.

Has anyone built one here in India? I am based in Bangalore. Is there anyone out there who can help me?

Very simple to make.

Thanks subvolatil

Its looks simple although my building competency is really poor. I am going to send you a PM later in the day.
