Looking for a rig frame

[Verde]

Hello there, I am looking for some proven rig frames. I use now a home made ones from a plastic containers and they are terrible for component maintenance and just a simple movement with it is a pain. Looking for something durable, easy to build, for 6 graphic cards, for less than 100 €. Any suggestions?

There you go mate the price is 45Euros, give or take some cents. I do not know how much you would pay for the delivery, but the frame looks really good for this price and seems to be out of steel or aluminium.

You can build the BBT 6 GPU open air mining frame below for about $40 out of two 8ft pieces of 1/8" x 3/4" angled aluminum, one 8 ft 1" x 3" piece of pine, one 4ft 1" x 1" piece of pine and #8 1/2" self-tapping screws. You can also build it out of all wood if you want to save some money.

6 GPU Frame (Dimension 21" W x 15 3/4"" D x 10 3/4" H):

Build Cuts:

Sorry mate, cant advise you here on your question, because I'm using for my rigs old home made design from wood) 
So far it was proven actually quite well. durable. cheap. can be replicated and repaired if needed, I'm quite ok with that

Hello, I think you can do everything with your own hands:
- aluminum corners
- a couple of sheets of dsp for criminals
- Straight arms
- Any mock-up of their internet
and everything is in your hands!!

I think you just build your self, an open air frame rig is the best option for me, because it's very cheap with about 25$, very easy to build, convenient for maintenance and movement. For example, most of my rigs look like this:



If you want something look cool, this frame cost around 65$. But I personally dont really like this frame, to build it, I think it may take few hours while I just need to spend 10 minute to make above frame.

Or if you don't mind paying a premium for what I believe is the nicest frame on the market, check out this seller on eBay.

You could fit 6 rigs on one of these, I use it for 4 though. Just cut out some plyboard for the base and hang your gpus using cable ties or string. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00KCGL4PW/

If you are handy you can build yourself pretty easy but if you are like me who isnt the best at building frames but can figure out how to build computers there are a few options out there.

I have one of these and I love the quality and customer service.

The price on these Veddha frames has dropped almost to the materials would cost to make one.  Used to be around $200 now they are only in the upper 70s shipped. https://amzn.to/2GEzTMo

Im lazy and I went with the Veddha v3c.  one unit will hold 6 gpu's, motherboard and 2 power supplies.  Two stacked will do 13-15 gpu's if you add a second mounting rail.  Thats what im running.  2 rigs with 2 v3c's  stacked and a Asus B250 mining expert motherboard.

Thats pretty much how I build my rigs it cost $25 at home depot for the aluminum I cut it to size drill and rivet it takes me about 20 mins and maintenance is easy I blow my cards and motherboard out every other week because everything is so easy to get to

I use just basic homemade wooden shelves, cost me around €30 in wood + screws + electronics (switch, pdu, wiring and remote switches) per 6 rig module. Usually accompanied by 2 or 3 big fans which are ~€10 each, depending on location.

Yep, that's the one I linked to on eBay.  We have 5 of his frames and they are extremely well made.

Also consider talking to @Spotswood

I just ordered a frame for my Onda B250 D8P from him.  Phillipma has done a review on his rig frames as well.

+1 for spotswood. The qualit of craftsmanship is beyond anything you will ever get to build as an amateur. It will probably also save you all the headache associated with missing or non-match parts when you order some cheap quality racks.

But in any case, isn't it too late to be buying racks?

If you know how to handle tools then 3-5 meters of 20x20 T-slot or V-slot aluminum profile plus some screws and brackets, couple hours of work (incl. cutting to size) - and you're all set.

yep;  agreed.

I have a bunch of aluminum c and L channel stock, and a riveter.   I am just too damned lazy and want something with less headache myself

Lazy I can understand, I'm lazy myself, too But on the other hand paying $180-200 for something that costs $40-50 to make, especially this simple, helps fight laziness

If you are paying anything much over $100 then you are paying too much.  I just scored another Veddha v3c on ebay for $57 shipped.  That puts me to 4 of them and 2 stacked will cover one Asus B250 Mining expert motherboard and 13 GPU's and even more if you can find P106 cards.
