Why not build your own out of p.v.c. for $15-$20 at your local hardware store.  Videos on YouTube for help.  I've built 3 took about 1 hour with paint.  Easy money.

Yeah this is also exactly what i'm looking for and i know where to get the parts and how much they cost, but i feel rather lazy building it myself. I'd much rather let someone make a bit of profit on it. But 70$ per is already pushing it. There's like 10$ of materials there.

No i dont have the time/energy to do it myself, thats why i'd want to buy it done. Also i'm in Canada, you're probably in the US? Just double shipping would be more than 50$.

Haven't clicked your links, but I've got an open air case I'd be willing to part with I think.

if you're interested let me know and I'll clean it up and take some pics. (not that it is dirty, just been sitting around in my garage for a while since I've been mining on HDDs only aside from random ASICs.)

Keep in mind with 6 gpu you may need 2 power supplies.
Really try p.v.c. and 2 hours of your time.  It will take a couple days to work all the kinks out of the rig and software.

When you need 10 of these, it gets very time consuming. I'm thinking of doing one out of wood, though. The PVC i found was expensive and not solid enough, as in it would bend. I could maybe transition to Aluminium later but. Yeah i'd rather fork over 50$.

Definitively buy from Ebay before paying 150$ + materials + shipping. Can find metal ones for 100$ + ship on Ebay.

More a barometer for price than a prospective purchase, but you never know i guess.

see the shipping he is charging 86  for shipping alone, at this point i can buy one air flow 540 and make it my open frame, by attaching the gpu on the edge with some cable ties

someone has done this with the haf-xb, but with the corsair it's even better i think

I don't think it includes the risers, and the ones in the pic are ribbon which you DO NOT want.
Also most modern USB risers will not work with that design if you look carefully.

In my opinion these rigs are all very badly designed because only the first card will be kept cool while the ones behind it will overheat.

The best is to use a large milk crate or shopping cart where you can hang the GPUs at different heights. So one GPU isn't feeding hot air into the next one.

Its not been a problem with my rigs. And if you run them in a hot environment, what you typically do is have a box fan blowing between the GPU's. But with outdoor ranging at 0-10C so far its not a problem.

I need box fans in the window to create airflow however and i think i need new, less noisy one. (As in they vibrate a lot even though i'm using absorbant padding and i can hear them through the walls/ground/bed.

I have a lot of Open rigs for sale. 7 Total, with Asrock H81 Pro Mobo, LGA Intel processor + cooler.
Ram is an option if needed. It is sold with Raisers as well.
