That is about 35 cards right now, 19 more on the way.  Custom ish made rig cases.  Nothing that special.  Just gutted the heck out of some cases and drilled some holes.  Most run pretty cool, 5xGPU per rig and nothing over 70 degrees!

Also, hopefully I get approved for another loan to buy 5 BFL singles :)

Got approved for the loan and 5 BFL singles will also be in there!

I dont think you have enough blue LED's hanging there, those rigs require atleast 100 LED's per gpu ;)

nice.  I wish I could get a loan to do this.  I have cheap electric and a great cool underground basement with lots of room, but sadly, no money to invest in more cards.

What is the ambient temperature where you live? Do you have any air conditioning? What about during summer?

54 cards, requiring about 100 Watts each is 5.4kW ...or ~2x 2.8kW heat radiators >.<
Also, how do you manage the 5.4kWatt consumption?

Not pictured, just to the right out of frame, is the cold fusion reactor producing 10kw of electricity. ;)  ;D

I do not know how to answer this question lol

I got some pretty big extension cords running all around my house?  llolol

Ambient temp???  I never hear the weather man saying that ... but its pretty windy and rainy where I live.  I live pretty close to the mouth of the Columbia Gourge in the Pacific Northwest.  Gets REALLY windy.  Keeps things cool.

7 cents per kwh too ... so it's profitable for me.  No A\C required.

With such cheap electricity you could rent an industrial place and host peoples rigs :)

V.I.R.U.S. (http://www.movie-page.com/1999/Virus.htm) too much?

Just joking, really nice mining station, man! Also:

If you got the space and the money available why not to jump to FPGAs efficiency (http://www.ztex.de/btcminer/) with rackmount clusters?
Their powering requisites are amazingly low... and seems to me the most logical next step thinking about technological competence.

I'm and have been looking into this quite seriously.

I won't be offering anything for another two weeks at least though. I have an SAT and finals!

Haha go for it! I'd have the upper hand at betting though, so I'd probably put 20btc down haha.

Do it for above or below 2000, or maybe 1800.

Hint: I might study. ;)
