Just wondering what everyone was currently using or wanted to use.
Post pics or links to cases. Open or closed.
I thought about buying some parts to make one of those open rig cases. Thoughts?

Here is an older picture of a single unit of my rig. I have 3 of these attached to each other. Each unit fits 6 video cards and the power supply (although its not on the rig in this picture.) I built it for about $60 in materials. Each additional add on case costs about $45 by utilizing the support arms on one side of the main rig.

Sorry for the derail. I have a wooden case, which isn't working for my R9 270s, you can see in my other thread, but I will update the pictures tomorrow. Have the xb evo box I have to put together when my new mobo/cpu get here, and also right now I just am using a regular desktop tower.

Not my rig, but saw it on Reddit and thought it was too good not to share. I mean why do you really need a case when you have a pipe and some spare jumper wire?

roflol notice all the hammer marks on the back wall where they hit it instead of the rig.  Probably was a PITA to get going.

here is a simple idea someone on OCN posted, just get a double shelf wirerack, zip tie the GPU's to the bottom of the middle shelf, and put the Boards and PSU's under it. The shelfs hieght are adjustable too so you don't have to worry about the PCI-E extenders on the cards not reaching the boards

Same here, especially since the dogecoin halfing and Mt Gox issues happened hurting the Market Price of all coins currently, he would be breaking even on the profit to power bill ratio with that setup.

The top guy in my pool is hitting over 100000kh/s how do these people afford the electricity...he would have to have 4 32gpu monster setups to make 100000kh/s.

Holy crap!!! I just built a friend of mine a rig and I found this case that he really liked. I was thinking it would be a great case for gpu folders or you miner folk. It's a little plastic-y, but it's built pretty well and it pretty well laid out. I thought it was pretty kool. The top is a little flimsy... Has 10 expansion slots. Obviously excellent airflow.

106 cards at 4000 doge per day= 424,000 At today's prices that equals 0.76936496 BTC per day = 391.12256 USD per day. I'd take that power bill any day! lol

Me too. Although, I don't think the 120A 240V main line to my apartment can handle that, though.
