Any more details about the project ? what kind of coin will be minded, what is the business model, what is the cost of electricity , the target HashRate ?
Thanks,

As of now we have 2 rigs with 5 Vega 56 cards each. As much as I have tried I was not able to make 6 cards work in a rig, even if I had 12 PCI-express slots. Probably the fault is in buggy Windows 10 and buggy drivers that will give a Timeout detection and recovery (TDR) when using 6 cards... but I am still looking to fix that.
As not everyone might know, Vega 56 is allowing for 2 concurrent threads in mining Cryptonight and it's the most efficient card today.
As of now each Rig costs $3,600 to make and has 9560 h/sec with a power consumption of 910 watts. Theoretical profit on whattomine.com is $1,000/month for 1 rig after paying the electricity. That is 27.7 % ROI each month which can be reinvested even before reaching one month. As soon as there is money for one more video card, it can be added to the farm.. no need to wait for the money for a full rig.
I do not want to think that the 27.7 % ROI can stay the same each month. There are losses of course, there can be a lower profit rate but if I will use a 20 % ROI then if starting with $100,800 mining hardware (10 BTC approx) that means 28 mining systems and profit of $28,000 which will become:
After 1 year hardware farm value: 1.2 ^ 12 = 8.916. We multiply by $100,800 and this equals to $898,742 in value.
After 2 year hardware farm value: 1.2 ^ 24 = 79.496. We multiply by $100,800 and this equals to $8,013,282 in value.
After 3 year hardware farm value: 1.2 ^ 36 = 708.801. We multiply by $100,800 and this equals to $71,447,228 in value.
Even in the worst case of 10 % monthly ROI for $100,800 initial hardware we will have:
After 1 year hardware farm value: 1.1 ^ 12 = 3.138. We multiply by $100,800 and this equals to $316,310 in value.
After 2 year hardware farm value: 1.1 ^ 24 = 9.849. We multiply by $100,800 and this equals to $992,853 in value.
After 3 year hardware farm value: 1.1 ^ 36 = 30.912. We multiply by $100,800 and this equals to $3,115,998 in value.
As anyone can see there is much bigger expected value of farm hardware if percentage of monthly ROI is higher.
If the farm has ASIC hardware, after 3 years the end value is worth 0. The risk that mining is not profitable is the same as with GPU in my opinion. Clearly GPU farms are the way to go, as if something happens, the farm hardware can be auctioned on ebay for a good % of the initial costs and still be in profit.
The business model is to increase and reinvest all the money for a period of up to 2-3 years.. depending on the preference of the one investing. I can organize very fast a team of 10 people that will be building rigs. Everything can be done as a company registered in Chamber of Commerce so it will be legal.
I will attach pictures of our location 15 km away from the city, it's the light yellow new building that has 2 floors, total of 200 sq meters. Costs to build it were around 100 EUR/sq. meter in that time.
I will also attach pictures of the rig frames that I personally built using aluminum V-slot extrusion and 3D printed connectors.. I love things done professionally.. and pictures of the final rigs mining nicely in our HQ which is 1 kilometer from the center of Bucharest (which anyone is welcome to visit, by the way).
