Imo add some fans, close off the top, sides, and front except for an area around gpus
Sweet rig, very cool. But at current bitcoin prices it's a little like looking at pictures of a hot girl who you know has syphilis. 
LOL, this has all been paid for upteen times a long time ago by horrible
little rigs built out of ebay refuse, crowding my kitchen an running on top
of Mobo cardbox boxes, so who cares about the building costs
Also, at the risk of going off-topic, the whole bitcoin community is so
short-term focused it's just sad to watch. Typical american approach
to doing things
Who cares if the price drops further to even a 100th of a euro ? In what
way does that diminish the intrinsic usefulness of the system ? The only
thing I worry about is volatility as this will in effect prevent legit businesses
to adopt the tool because the usefulness of the system is offset by the
currency exchange risk.
As to the exchange rate itself, it can bloody well settle wherever it wants,
who cares ?
Finally, as to the cost of power - I'll just say this: this is what will separate
the men from the boys in the long run: FPGAs will kill GPUs first, and then
ASICs will kill FPGAs.
Yeah, it was just a joke. It's cool that your rig is already paid for several times over (makes it sexier), and I totally agree with your other points.

impressive!
good work
good work
I like this a lot. What did you use for the frame and for securing the motherboard in place?
very nice !
Here's a bit of real mining pr0n:
CAD model before building the real thing:
That's:
- 4 5970s (8 cores)
- GPUs are powered through an external 12V rail instead of the PCI-e
- paired-up dual PSUs
- sucks 1120 Watts at the wall socket
- runs at 3009 MH/s steady
And here's the real thing (slightly uglier, but
hey, reality is never as clean as cyberspace):
Front:
Back:
And here's the thing running cgminer:
Even if bitcoin value falls to zero, the fun I've had
building one of these things will _not_ fade away
