@sideETH Congratulations that rig looks pretty sweet. I'm guessing that is almost, if not already, sound proof? Just one question tho, doesn't all the effort and additional electricity costs the extra fans still make it worth it?
Hopefully electricity costs cheap from where you are mining. An open air rig could do the same without the need for an external fan.

@SidETH : nice rigs
And I love your white case.
I love ETH at 700$ too

Finally finished
6x GTX1070 and 6x GTX1060 running on 2 Biostar motherboards.
Pulling in 335mh/s of ethereum combined at 1300W from the wall.
Each GPU is blowing hot air to the back, and in the back there are 2 layers of 3 fans placed horizontal to push all the hot air upwards. The top of the cabinet has vents.

Really want to sell my house, move back into my parents place. Plow £156,000 into GPU mining rigs and see what happens... Im sure the wife will be fine...

Here's how i build my frames (for 8 GPU rigs):
Currently using a 6 card rig on one of them:
And got around to building a new shelf this week-end instead of the shitty IKEA racks I was using until now. There's one 8 GPU rig missing on the pic, + got some vegas coming in:

Hehe I like this thread. Give us more those nasty pics.
Sexy cards and cables lol

Here's a blurry cell phone pic of the mining room out in our barn. A total of 13 rigs (11 in the picture) with 3600 cfm (adjustable) box fans, cool air coming in the window to the left, and a 20" industrial exhaust vent installed in the opposite wall. So far cooling has not been an issue, even in the summer months, but we're almost maxed out on our power limit. At some point in the future we would like to add a dedicated 200 amp service to the barn, but that's going to be awhile from now.
Amazing GPU farms and builds. Never fails to inspire. I hope more people post on this thread.
Here is my own contribution:
Crazy 8 GPU rig with no cards of the same kind / brand

It is for sale if anyone is interested haha.

i have few miner in datacenter in switzerland, but he move to my appartment in few day
and here few in my balcony
and here few in my balcony
Here are some rigs from the apartment (1070s) and a few from the warehouse (1080 Tis)
Well, that's really neat and a sick setup. Mining Zcash exclusively?
Rigs on the carpet, u mad ? Put tiles or timber underneath them.

Cool thanks. I'm moving my rigs from a spare room into the garage soon so noise won't be as much of a concern. I think your config will be my new template 
High power ATX PSUs with lots of PCIE sockets have become hard to source lately and the server options make much more sense. I guess you can safely run a couple of risers per PCIE socket with a splitter?

I guess you can safely run a couple of risers per PCIE socket with a splitter?As some of the other forum members have pointed out, you can certainly use splitters - for my money, I'd rather just have dedicated PCI-E cables whenever possible, and the particular configuration I use has ample amounts of both (the DPS-2000BB + Optimizer breakout board). As we move forward though, this will become less and less of an issue as each progressive generation of video cards tends to use less and less power.
one day when i become a JR member ill post a pic. lol
o wait crap ima a JR member!, ill post pics tomorrow.

I don't know about Aliexpress, but on eBay at least most cables seem to be 18 AWG, which would be fine for 1070s and 1060s. I think 18 AWG is rated for something around 283 watts, which is plenty for your GPUs + risers. We use 18 AWG splitters for all but our GTX 1080 Tis, and they don't even get warm to the touch. Of course do try to buy quality parts from trustworthy sellers....
They look sweet :-) I'm interested in the config, is that a server PSU with breakout above, motherboard on the right and acrylic on the top and sides to channel airflow?
Yup, that's the basic layout - I put the SSD on the top also, so I can put a full-size board on the right side... DPS2000-BB with Optimizer breakout, 2x 254MM fans, and acrylic on all sides except the front and back - so the air is channeled through. I tried closing the front around the fans, but it actually made airflow worse as it would tend to pocket hot air in the front... If you search around, I think I put up some thermal images from different configuration I tried.

I guess you can safely run a couple of risers per PCIE socket with a splitter?We use a splitter to run both the GPU and Riser off the same PCIE cable from the server PSU and it works very well. If you have a high power GPU, like a GTX 1080 Ti or an older AMD GPU (or the new Vega I suppose) make sure you are using 16 AWG (or thicker) PCIE cables and Splitters both.
I'm running 1070s and 1060s so splitters it is. Now to try and figure out which Aliexpress vendors are honest about wire gauges…
