I built mine from this guide, the links are all way expensive but you can find cheaper versions of all the stuff.

With the large 3D-printing and BTC community crossover, I'm surprised I've never seen anyone selling printed cases/benches. Are the plastics too soft? -Or would it be cost-prohibitive? (3D printing newb)

I think with the current high cost of plastic filament building something that was sturdy would not be cost effective.
If i had access to one I would defiantly try it though ...

You don't need a fancy-smancy aluminum rig, all you need is a bit of wood and some nails. Milk crates are fine too, if you're having an issue you can always cut some holes in them.
I just bought the parts for an aluminium rig and It's coming on Monday Cheesy

How much did it cost you _-_

Aluminium was cheap. The bloody connectors were expensive. Alotogether including the VAT and £10 delivery it was £63 with 1m spare aluminium tubing Cheesy And it was pre-cut so i just have to put it together Cheesy

Milk crates are usually made from polyethylene terephthalate.

I really find goat milk to be much better than cow milk, although cat milk is the best. It is a bitch catching them though

"I had no idea you could milk a cat!"

"Oh, you can milk just about anything with nipples."

"I have nipples, Greg, could you milk me?"

Theres ways to make stands, go your local arts and crafts store, get a stick of wood, mind you they are spherical in shape and use that on your mobo. If you need more info, I can help.
Didn't you mean a sporting goods store?

Yes, a buy some athletic shoes afterwords to keep your rigs running.

I was talking about getting a baseball bat, use that on your mobo.

Will 2 gpu's (Sapphire 7950 and MSI 280x) overheat in a milk crate? I am asking because building an aluminium rig is too expensive. Thanks

No, they run about the same as the other open cases.

I'd imagine you should just check it every few hours as it gets going and see if it's ok.  I could see milk crates melting so I'd keep an eye on it.  Like putting plastic in the microwave...
