I have not bought the motherboards yet.  

Should I scrap that idea since I already have 50 RX 580 GPU?

What about running 9 Gigabyte GA-H110-D3A motherboards?

Possibly running 6 TB250-BTC+ Ver. 6.x

Can I get away with the I3 chip to save money or will I need to have a stronger chip?

What can I reduce the ram down to 4 gig on the motherboard?

For a 19 card build, the Asus B250 mining expert REQUIRES using at least six Nvidia P106 mining cards if you want to run more than 13 cards. You don't need a 500 GB SSD for a mining rig and it's just a waste of money. A 128 GB is plenty if you want to run Windows or a 32GB USB 3.0 flash drive is plenty for running a Linux based mining distro like ethOS or smOS.

Hi all
I've been mining for a while now but only with one GPU on my computer.

I am setting up three mining rigs with a total of 48 AMD RX 580 GPU's

What's the best OS to use and service?

Should I set up the OS with Windows or Linux? 

If Linux what is the best pool service to use for this?

Thanks for any help that can be offered.

As for the rigs, I'm building the frames from Aluminum

Each rig will have 16 AMD RX 580
Two 1500W power supplies
ASUS B250 ATX Motherboard
8 gig's ram
500 gig ssd


Any advice on the rigs wold be appreciated also.
