Look cool. Even your monitor is also vertical haha.
I'm thinking to change some of my rigs to vertical build like yours, it may help on ventilation and saving area, actually my room is pretty small with 3.8m x 3.2m.

Great job looks great.
You might want to mount the motherboard on the other side facing your cards. Those riser cables die to quicky if bended.

Nice, would love to see some more pics with the fully loaded rig. I was considering doing something like this myself, mainly because of those leaky Sapphire RX480 cards.. there were reports out there of those cards dying, supposedly because that oily liquid mixed with dust shorts something. Not a problem in regular desktop PCs, but turned out to be a problem for mining rigs with GPUs placed vertically. So a rig like yours, with cards placed horizontally, is probably the best way to go for "leaking" cards. But it's a lot harder to build a rig like this, so I eventually gave up. Cheesy

temperatures - 62-64*C at 45-48% fans speed

motherboard on pictures is gigabyte ma-790fx-dq6 am2+ (5x pci-e with powered molex) + i added pci-e multiplier 1x pci-e x1 @ 4x pci-e x1 (8 gpu in total)

(mobo + cpu + ram - 40eur, multiplier 20-22eur) total 60-62eur - i think cheapest 8x pci-e BTC mobo cost about 90-100eur (without cpu/ram)

cheap and I dont have to mess with all that bios settings like pci-e gen,4g encoding or all that crap, 8 gpus works plug and play

I know, I know hot air goes up, but i tested it horizontally as well and then i had maybe 2-3*C less temps, the same noise (tested with 4x1060 and 2x1070)
case have room for one more gpu (total 7 risers inside, and maybe i can add 3 long gpus on top or 4 short ones) via pci-e multiplier
