This was my first one,

ran that baby in my bedroom which is in the loft/attic for just over 1 month, until the constant 35C in my room drove me to break out the toolkit and create this monstrosity,

My laser/infrared thermometer says the exhaust is around 54C on my PSU's.

All fans are at 85% and ambient room is around 25C

how did you get the 6990 memory to 600? flash bios and running linux?
Bios is flashed on both the 6990's & 5870's, I did have the 6990's sitting at 150hmz mem clock but I was worried it would cause damage so I upped them just in case.

do you run them under linux?
Yes, headless Ubuntu, works great.

What miner are you using to get 458 MH/s at only 985MHz?  It takes me like 1010MHz to hit that number with the phatk 3% mod.
I use phoenix with phatk 2.2, I think its mostly due to using a headless Linux setup. I have a Windows machine with a 5870 that only gets 445 @ 985 though its my daily workstation and has Aero and other crap enabled.

Here it is, I finally got around to getting the camera out.
This is my home made/bodged/ghetto cabinet I threw together one weekend.
It was an old glass cabinet I found in a skip which I ripped all the glass out apart from the door and replaced with some perspex I had lying around.
It cost me nothing to make, apart from buying the bathroom extractor fans.
4 x 5870's in the top & 2 x 6990's in the bottom.
I had some real trouble cutting that perspex with a jigsaw causing some splits and cracks (easily fixed with good old super glue) Until I discovered some spray grease and covered the blade and perspex to keep it cool while cutting.
And yes, that's a pair of my mothers tights I stole to use as air filters!
I salvaged an old computer case for the hdd bay & the power switches for the side. (it was such a pain leaning inside and using a piece of plastic to flip the switch)
You can't really see from the pictures but I used to use cardboard to wedge the 5870's apart for airflow, but I have upgraded to a length of meccano which works perfectly (hence the little meccano spanner)
This is running happily in my garage which is about 30m away from my house, I bought some old routers off ebay and set them up as access points to get internet in there.

If you have $100k to throw around I would seriously reconsider spending it on mining rigs, you WILL have more coins buying directly now then those rigs will ever produce.
You need to sit down and work over all the numbers, this is a good start http://bitcointalk.org/?topic=7531.0

That's the ticket, but at 6A max current I don't think it'd hold up too well against my 4x gpu rigs.  Looks like they've got a few IP controlled switches with built-in web pages, etc, but they're a bit pricier..
6A is fine for what I need here in the UK with our 230v.
But yes, at the end of the day you get what you pay for and at £35 this is really the bottom end of things.
Have a look around ebay, you can usually pick them up second hand for decent prices from data centre clearances.

Sounds like you want to be using an IP remote power switch, similar to what most data centres use.
I'm using this one in my garage: http://www.openxtra.co.uk/p/usb-net-power-8800uk and it works really well for its cheap price.

I don't know of a way to make setxkbmap changes permanent but a quick fix would be to have "setxkbmap fr" in a simple bash script load on system boot.

So are you saying that you run your 6990s at 150 memory now? impressive if so!
Not any more, they were stable for the 3 hours or so that I tested them and I raised the clocks to 600 just in case. I ran them again a few days later when we had some really hot weather at 150 for around 7 hours per day for 4 days and they seemed to be ok.
Something is nagging in the back of my mind about running them at 150 though and it makes me feel uneasy.

I raged and now I am giving away the card, damn I hate ATI!  Cry
Don't give up, is the card new? It could be faulty and you might want to get it exchanged if possible.
