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?

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: For the Angled Aluminum: -First 8ft (96") Angled Aluminum; .75 inch of waste 4x 15 3/4" cuts (63" use) (Case Depth) 3x 10 3/4" cuts (32.25" use) (Case Height) -Second 8ft (96") Angled Aluminum; 1.25 inch of waste 4x 21" cuts (84" use) (Case Width) 1x 10 3/4" (10 3/4" use) (Case Height) And for the wood: -8ft 1x3 Pine (96"); 2 inch of waste: 6 cuts of 15 3/4" (94" use) (Case Bottom) -4 ft 1x1 Pine (24" left over): 1 cut of 21" (21" use) (Card Bracket Support) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5xNrlxsCVshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MA_sH4q2toU&feature=youtu.be&t=283![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fimagizer.imageshack.us%2Fv2%2F1200x1025q90%2F924%2FHPS9wm.jpg&t=665&c=LqIyxPeDOdHvrA)

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$, very easy to build, convenient for maintenance and movement. For example, most of my rigs look like this: ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FsnYFXqL.jpg&t=665&c=MBfGXZMscLtVXg) If you want something look cool, this frame cost around 65$. 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.

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/

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.

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.

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 ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

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.
