Got all the new things to start my seconds Rig. Going with a server PSU this time and my budget is already loving it.

Order 3x RX 580 8GB Nitro. I will be scaling more cards in as I got these for about $250 each brand new after gas where Im at.

Waiting for the new motherboard to arrive and a new CPU.

I also ordered a new metal shelf to hang all the cards on from my first rig so i can have a central place for everything. The wife is happy about that at least. Now if i just had enough cash to get another 3 cards to have a complete second rig.

The plan is to scale into adding more cards until the entire shelf it filled. Once i can post pics, I definitely will.

Good luck Nathan! It looks like you put 2 rigs at home right? If it's the case, is that  suitable for using server PSU? I heard that it's very noisy.

nice! I am debating making a rx 570 rig, you think its worth it to spend a bit more and go for the 580's? Hash rates are not too far off on the two. But I guess long term its better yeah?

Seems that he is aiming for future build as he wants the shelf to be filled up, 'N' state, Agree with this, as server psu might as loud as hell and might need a separate room or modification at least to lessen the noise. Consider also your temperature environment, and think how would you drive out the heat outside.

I have 1 rig (6cards) with RX 570 4gb getting about 29.7 eth and 450 on dcr. So total 175eth & 2700ish dcr.

I am going with the 580 8gb this time as they r only a few bucks more and it'll be better for the future.
I have my rigs in a spare bedroomwith a Vortex 500CFM FAN sucking heat out of the window to help with that. Sucks in cooler air from under the door frame from the house.

Hoping the server psu isn't louder that the Vortex fan. If it is,I'll return it and get regular psu, until I move all the rigs to my shed when electric is installed there next year
