Would love to know this to if you don't mind sharing OP. I have been looking on/off for RX 570's and have had 0 luck. To secure 24 you must have a good source. I would make sure that your deal is "secured" before buying all other gear. As I would hate to buy all other gear then have it sitting trying to get GPU's. (You could switch GPU's but that is kinda another topic)
I think you are wrong to go this way.
do ½ your way do ½ this way if you can get prices
wait for quote take a minute. build two of mine and two of yours
@ op how much did you spend for the six card setup?
sorry that I missed this.
This is an easy 3 card monster rig.
two 1080 ti's -------------------------1300 on sale
one 1070------------------------------ 369
one 128 gb ssd ----------------------- 40
one 8gb stick of ram ----------------- 50
one i5 7400t cpu---------------------- 130 eBay sale
one gigabyte z270 mobo ------------ 108
one 850 watt pat psu -------------- 112
total ---------------------------------- 2109
does 2300 for skein
does 1750 for zcash at 550 watts.
riser free and you can add 1 more card with a riser if you want to expand to me no one should build a six card rig as the first rig.

The electricity cost will kill you.
I can confirm the board you selected works just fine with 6. If you go with 9 you will most likely run into a bunch of problems that create more downtime and increase ROI time.

The ASUS Z270 PRIME A / AR is verified to do 9 cards, 264 MH/s per rig if you add M.2 to PCI-E expansion adapters.

That would lower your costs to 3 sets of motherboards, CPU's, RAM and SSD's.
I recently did a build of the BBT mining case below out of two 8ft pieces of 1/8" x 3/4" angled aluminum, one 8ft 1" x 2" piece of pine and #8 1/2" self-tapping screws. The case will fit up to 7 RX 4XX/5XX if you put them about 1 inch apart. For 9 GPU's I would increase the length of the longest frame section by 7 inches from 19.2 to 26 inches and I would also increase the frame height by 2 inches from 9.25 to 11.25 inches, which means you will need to use three 8ft pieces of 1/8" x 3/4" angled aluminum instead of two.

BBT on YouTube said he will have a mining rig case build video next week with updates from his original video.

With 2 friends we are going to invest some € in mining, I want before clicking the order button to be good. Can you guys tell me if I forgot anything? Also, do you know any blueprints/plans to build rigs in aluminium/wood ? I can't find any in stock in France so I'm going to build them.

Is there any difficulties to mine with Z270 motherboards?
Thanks for the advices
