If I wanted to build a single tower for Bitcoins....

If I wanted to build a single tower for bitcoins, is this plausible? Or a single unit with maybe 8 to 16 gpus? My big worry is honestly noise and heat because I live with other people. Money is not so much a problem. I just want to start contributing to mining and join a pool. I have been into bitcoin since about fall? of 2012? I believe. So I was wondering is this feasible if I just wanted to do this rather than have a gigantic rig or something i need like a huge heat vent for.

I just want to know if this is plausible. Looking mostly around 8 GPU's.

Thank you!!

You can get XL cases and XL-ATX motherboards with 7x PCI-E on.

You'd still need risers for double height cards and probably have to mod the case to stick some on the sides or in the hard drive bays.

Failing that just buy a small Server Cabinet.
