Could you boys & girls help me to build a rack mining server step by step and not all in one.
 
I was thinking about buying Rack mining server box.
 

 
It is about 12xx skr = approximately 120 dollars.
 
First I like to know, is it a good product or are their better for its price?
&
what is the next thing I need for this Mining rack box

    No actually, but for using it for folding home.
    I saw on YouTube how they build there evga systems to help out. I want to build and use it for that as well.
    I have no clue what to use, how to install, configure...& so on...

    Mining racks are designed for pcie x1 riser cables and folding dislikes pcie slower than 3.0 x4 and really needs the x8 for high end cards. And folding really benefits from faster cards.
    So 3 card systems are really the most you can really do for mainstream CPUs. A simple Quad core current generation cpu and 3 pcie x16 slots. X8 and x8 from cpu and an x4 from the chipset. And 3 of the fastest graphics cards you can afford. 2060KO being a sweet spot. Run it on Ubuntu 18.04 with the proprietary Nvidia drivers and you are good to go.
    Personally I just stick with 2 cards per pc as high wattage psu aren't cheap.

    Unless you can pick up used cards I would say wait till September.  3060 card should be as fast at 2080TI's in Folding.  I know my 2060 super is faster than 1080TI FTW on core 22 and the same on core 21.

    Check out my $25 solution here:

    If you're running more than 1 motherboard, it makes sense to just connect them with M3 or M3,5 (perhaps M4 might work even?) threaded rods, instead of using a case.
    FAH runs better with  3 or less GPUs per mobo anyway.
