I have a few benches from www.highspeedpc.com Check out their BTC mining stations. They may seem a bit expensive, especially when compared to the dishwasher rack or DIY options, but I think they make a well-designed, well-built (with respect to its purpose, you can't use it as a step ladder!) product.

Go grab some 3/4 x 1" stakes at the hardware store, some wood glue, masking tape, and two scraps of plywood. Find some black paint in the free section of craigslist.
Chill a six pack of beer and grab a hand saw.
The final result will look like this:
Have you ever connected two risers in serial?

Have you ever connected two risers in serial? Yes, I regularly do it. It's a hit/miss with 16X risers, but mostly hits with 1X risers in serial.

This is what I designed in Unity, then built 2 of. It holds 6 cards, separates them a bit, and provides lots of cool air from the rear to be pulled across the cards and motherboard. It also holds a refular SATA drive and 2 PSUs, which are cheaper for more efficient units than a single super efficient unit. The only issue I get is a bit of dust on the top-most rack, but that's because I don't havw something on the very top. These things are also designed to be sat upright so video card exhaust is shot upwards (perhaps shooting it into an AC unit set to "Fan" mode so it distributes heat throughout the house). I'm using 1 for cards, and the other for FPGAs currently, but I'm building an addition to the rack to better accommodate the FPGAs. Here's the pic: https://www.dropbox.com/s/uqme18x5kzm7phe/Photo%20Mar%2008%2C%204%2013%2020.jpg

Just wood glue? No screws to hold it together? I built mine out of angle aluminum. Cut it with a chopsaw, and drilled and screwed it together. It came out pretty nice, though a little big (600 x 480 x 240 mm). Some ppl use pop rivets. That probably would have been easier than the machine screws/nuts/washers/lockwashers I used.

420, Check the pics of my GPU rig that I just tore down - I'm looking to sell the rack I made for it. It has a power switch, and I can include the three case fans that go across the top. The little black squares around the frame are for attaching black mesh screens around the whole frame to help keep out larger size crap, which is also included. Also, I remember from your post looking for GPUs that you are somewhere in California. If you happen to be in Socal, we might be able to meet up and avoid shipping costs (I'm in LA). http://imgur.com/QBQOZx1,CrMtcWs#0

I am also about to build a rig and really like this open case I have never seen anything like this and all I can say is WOW! That's the Aerocool Strike-X Air. There's also the Lian Li PC-T60, and a few others more obscure models. The problem with most of those is that they're not designed for raised GPUs running over extenders. Most of the home made stuff seem to follow a general theme, which can be seen with step-by-step guidelines HERE.
