Topic: mining rig frame (Read 179 times)
There are a bunch of threads on this already that will offer far better advice, but I've used a milk crate, an old 4U server chassis, and a couple of metal shelving units (using copper piping to support the cards).
hello alli have purchased everything for my mining rig and all thats left is the frame.
i`ve checked how to make one but im not very good when it comes to DIY, i was wondering what is the best way to make a frame out of something else? instead of from scratch.
i saw some ppl transformed wooden tables flipped upside down and just added one or two more wooden sticks in.
i could always buy one prebuilt, but i`ve sunk all my funds into my hardware already! im broke right now and i really dont want to waste 1 month waiting for my next payday
any tips or advice would be much appreciated, and i hope this is in the right forum section
"Back in the day", some people would use milk crates, or other similar shaped containers with openings around the outsides. You can pretty much
use anything that you can stabilize the GPU's to. I'd go to the nearest "lumber yard" and grab some 1"x2" stock. Find a frame blueprint on google
and slap it together with some cheap screws. It really isn't a lot of work, and it's about $20usd in cost.
Move this over to the ALT mining section and get some quick answers. There is an option to move it in the bottom left corner of YOUR post.
Goodluck!!!
thanks i`ve just moved it, i thought about a milk crate but got paranoid it would overheat and melt the plastic XD
i could be wrong but wood or metal would make me feel much better
found this one guy bought a TROLLEY RACK and transformed it into a mining frame, wow so clever maybe i could do the same

seems i need some zip ties, but what else would i need? how would i stop the PSU from spinning out of control and falling over, same with the mobo cpu fan
