-Mobo/RAM/CPU for GPU rigs
-Powered USB Risers
-AMD R 270x/370 4GB
-Etc

Looks to me like 8020 Quickframe - you could probably just assemble the parts yourself, especially since you already have one:

o.O the guy i bought these from paid like 160$ per frame. According to this, it would be reaaaaally cheap to make myself as many as i want. I'd just need the drill bits for screwing the stuff in.

If I remember there were a couple how-tos way back around here for these things. Basic measurements, etc..

spotswood makes some ready to go open airs @ $95 : http://spotswoodcomputercases.com/wp/?page_id=892
cheaper than $160 at least. No idea if he's still selling.. could try contacting him: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=179928.0

Thanks, i might look into it. Right now i'm hoping someone has some of these collecting dust he would not mind shipping out at a decent bargain price.

Or you can always just use something like this instead.

nice setup.
care to share which motherboard is shown running 5 cards?
I've got Asrock970 extreme4, but someone posted elsewhere that they had difficulty running five GPUs on it, but four were OK.
Something to do with one of the long slots not playing nice with the others, but maybe it is incorrect.
I did not try myself yet.

please comment.

This is Chronikka's rig PSU. He did sell me the Frames though and some Mobos. The mobos are h81 btc pro, theres 5 small slots and 1 16x, it should be able to run 6, right now i'm using the 16x without any problems but i do not have 6 GPUs on it yet.

I think the gpu limitation is a Windows 7 (limit = 4) Windows 8 (limit = 5) thing. W10 should work and so would Linux.

Added a note about Powered USB Risers. And i'm still looking. :)

Hey.

I have 5 x risers. 15$ for the whole lot + shipping/escrow.

Thanks

Thanks :) Will take them if they're working powered USB. PMed.

Still looking for more mining rig stuff.

i have an open rig frame like this.  http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Open-Air-PC-Case-Rig-OpenRigs-4x-GPU-frame-for-the-best-CPU-GPU-performance-/281697247839?nma=true&si=aPW5DHK2P4I45iJvqGmkakG7IF8%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

Im sure I have a bunch of powered risers too

"This Buy it now listing has ended."

Can you provide a live picture? I think we missed our timing :P

That wasnt my picture, I was just showing you what frame I have.  Its in my garage put away right now.

Yeah i understand, i meant could you possibly link to a live picture. The link you gave me has been taken down. Also where would you ship from?

im in sask, canada

Alright, please get back to me when you have more details. Cheers. :)

I have some powered USB risers I used for a few months. How many you need?

10 to 50 depending on their location and price.

Here is a place to purchase aluminum Rig Frames:

http://scryptfactorygear.com/

those are really nice and the risers look better then the ones i have

I know where those rig's materials a sourced from and there's easily a 100$ markup here on materials/labor. I'm definitively not interested in paying such "retail" prices.


Thanks for the link, your prices are actually not that bad, but i'm not willing to pay 120% markup to save a week vs ordering from China like you are. :)

No deal were struck. If you have some Powered USB Risers, let me know.

I have 7 open rigs with motherboards and Intel processors and 5 risers pr board. Each Open Rig is for 5-6 GPU's
If any interest send a PM and I will send you pics.

Replied. Also now interested in picking up one Cheap (probably used) LGA 1150 CPU with or without heatsink. PM if you have one for sale. Thanks.

I am still interested, let me know if anyone has any of this available.

Interested? I can meet you in Gatineau.
Does $20 CAD for both sound good? You won't have to pay for shipping.  :)

Those are probably the best risers i've seen, they are both long and have a long power cable, the short ones are annoying.

Sorry but no, those are ribbon risers, so too expensive :(
You can get the nice USB risers for 4-5CAD each brand new. Albeit from China.

Have you never seen the USB risers, asabeb?
https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00OPO4K8K/ref=s9_simh_gw_p23_d0_i2?pf_rd_m=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB&pf_rd_s=desktop-2&pf_rd_r=KQZAZQ7KCYQBNZKK6RVC&pf_rd_t=36701&pf_rd_p=2055621962&pf_rd_i=desktop

USB Risers were introduced after I started GPU mining so I never used them but I never had a single issue with the ribbon risers.

And yes you can get them cheap from China but it will take 3-4 weeks to receive and by that time ETH mining might not be profitable anymore. If you buy from Canada you would get it in a couple days even.

I once even bought a riser locally at a huge inflated price of $20/each because everyday that the GPU was unplugged, was $10 of losses per day.

Time is money also

It took me 1-2 weeks so far (or would be less if you buy a big lot and get same week shipping) but sure. Regardless;
They're still available locally in Canada at 6-8$ each from retail. I'd buy those before buying ribbons ones at 10CAD, but either way, i'm not in desperate need. But i do use them when i run out of USB ones until i receive the USB ones.

Anyhow i've sourced enough for my immediate use. Thanks to those i've dealt with so far. But i will need more soon, so i'll continue buying at a small markup over China. Just not 500% markup.

Getting the frames is much harder than the risers, alas.

No big deal! It was nice almost doing business with you.  :)
I figured $10 was decent given that I was trekking out to Gatineau, but if they're that cheap locally then there's no real point. Good luck with building your mining rig.

Well, i mean Online, ebay. Shipped to here. As in domestically. Locally there's nothing here. But thanks.

No point in Trekking here if you have stuff though, you can just slap them them in regular post enveloppe for like 1$. :)

Bump. Still looking for stuff mentioned in OP ^.

You still building more rigs? How many GPUs are you up to?

Seems tempting buying more and more but the difficulty went up like 10% in 2 days. crazy at least price is up also.

Lol, enough to be quite happy. Yet not rich at all.

Yeah Diff is going crazy high, when the price stop skyrocketing i think it will be all over (The crazy GPU rush). So its a gamble. Or maybe it will stabilize at something comparable to ASIC, profit-wise but less lossy (in term of mining equipment value deterioration)?

I don't know. Either way Eth mining is a Temporary thing.

still seems like a used gpu could return 50% of its value within 2 months. whether you can continue to make return beyond that, oe have to wait for another gpu coin to be pumped, thats still decent and you could likely resell the card for almost what you paid

True but right now its hard to buy 7950/7970/280X second hand. Those can be resold pretty much at the same price since they are at the bottom of the depreciation curve.

I bought out almost every single GPU in my city. I rather not buy new retail because those depreciate the most.

2 years ago, bought a R9 270X for like $250 CAD and sold it 1 year later for only $100 CAD.

R9 280X retailed for like $500 CAD and 1 year later they were going for $180 CAD.


Wish I got into Ethereum back in Dec-Jan

Are you saying current used GPU ROI is 4 months? Or?


500CAD seem insane, thats what i bought 290's for and that was when the price was crazy because of the Scrypt rush. Regardless, at current profitability, 200CAD for one of these would be a great deal.

But there's cheaper better GPU on retail atm imo.

Modified the Thread/OP to reflect what i'm currently looking for. +Bump

I have bought risers from them, I can vouch that they are legit and offer really good risers for a fair price.

Alas, as i have said in my reply, a while back, the prices there are not what i am looking for.

Bump

Check my USB Risers:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1328170.0

Thanks for the offer, but that would come up to about the same price than buying the overpriced Amazon ones and it would take a while to get them shipped overseas.

+Bump, nobody has some cheap dusty H81 BTC Pro lying around or similar?

Nobody panic selling? Eth is crashing at the moment, after all. :P

I came looking to see if you had cancelled your buying spree on the same observation.   :D 

Probably won't be much panic selling until it reaches breakeven electricity levels which are still far away. Nothing else really worth mining either. Buyin an Antminer now isn't a good idea either with the difficulty still going up and halving approaching.

I'm switching to a quiet setup so less about highest/quick return and more long term(less devaluating) and quiet setup. So quiet GPUs are the way to go.

At least Retail prices already dropped so its look good there.

I've got both asrock and biostar mining motherboards available with cpus.

I'd be interested in prices and which mobo/cpu for the Asrock line. Nothing against the Biostar, but i did not research those. And also shipping from where.

Seem like people are starting to offload GPU's, so i figured i'd bump this up.

Yeah, I envy you.

 You got really lucky with that 7950 you quickly snatched up in the other thread for like $80.

:P I didn't get it, his shipping estimate ran up to 40$ and from the US it would take a while to get here. Still a good price but, meh.

The Biostar is a bit nicer, look it up: Biostar H81S2

I think $150 per mobo + CPU + heatsink would be a good price? Ships from Montreal area.

Sorry, i been very busy. I can get 6 slots mobo + cpu for 150 CAD, shipped from retail.

I have a Sapphire 280X 3G for sale. PM me your offer if interested

I edited OP with what i'd consider buying atm.

I actually have a Sapphire 280X, burnt to a crisp while ETH mining. The VRMs are horrible on those cards.

Why are you only buying 270'x ?

Cool. Thanks for letting me know

They stay cool and quiet, even in hot environment, which mean in cool environment they are completely silent. I might just stick to buying retail 370. The roi is longer but meh. And they're pretty power efficient.

I have lots of risers , also have a few PSU's if your interested.

If they're USB risers and the price is right, yeah.

same here. Ive got 3-4 USB risers and two x16 ribbon risers located in toronto. also PSUs (including a few 1200W-1350W gold ones with original packaging)

Drop me a quote for the usb risers, if you're so inclined. :)
