I would go with 4 powered usb risers. I purchased 5 off of a guy from ebay for $20 each. Kind of high but they are well worth it. Easier to route cables and the mb sees the cards immediately. I would also go with an open case. Richard sells really nice open cases. http://richchomiczewski.wordpress.com/

Ok, thanks.
Any chance You know where to buy them in Europe without PayPal? My country doesnt have it, and they seem to be only on ebay.

The only thing I know where you can get them cheap is alibaba.com I am also looking for cheaper ones outside eBay in Europe, so I'd appreciate an answer too.

I bought 4 risers from ebay and they are working brilliantly. Never tried alibaba so can't recommend.
When buying risers, make sure to buy the right ones like 1x, 4x and 16x (depending on the available pci slots)

I would have gone with a quad x-fire/sli board, these carry enough power through the PCI-E and the risers wont need to be powered. You might get away with 2x powered and 2x non-powered risers.

Most people are getting usb risers from me, and I'll ship anywhere in the world.
GPUs are getting hard to find right now. Just buy the cheapest R9 cards you can get, and as many as you can afford.

Thanks guys.
But I can't get it to boot, I see splash screen and then its black. I am connecting it to TV via HDMI cable,could this be an issue?
My keyboard has green light, and I tried various ports, DEL/F12/F9/F2 before/during/after splashscreen but nothing gets me into boot options.
I have USB stick with BAMT on it. Does anyone has idea what could be the issue?

Go into BIOS and select your USB stick as primary boot device.

+1 for usb risers, also better do open frame rig, nothing limits you more than not enough room for fresh air.

Go into BIOS and select your USB stick as primary boot device. I wish I could do that, but on Splash screen I cant get into Boot Setup :S I tried every kind of combination, could it be TV? Also I tried connecting my graphic card to regular monitor with this kind of in, and it cant fit.. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4f/DVI-VGA-Adapter.jpgdo only new monitors have such input? Or there are some kind of connectors? http://www.sudcamp.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/dvi_d_socket.jpgI don't see what else is an issue, it turns on, restarts, gives Gigabyte splashscreen, but I cant enter boot setup to set USB as primary? :S

I contacted him before buying one through openrigs.com he refused to make one for me because he claimed that he's backlogged. It's Feb. so now things may be different. I wouldn't have ordered one through openrigs if I would have known that they would take Forever to ship my unit. 12-10-2013
Regrettably, I cannot accept any new orders at this time.
The recent flood of orders has greatly exceeded my manufacturing capacity. I will resume taking orders as soon as my backlog is reduced to an acceptable level (2-3 weeks). A small re-design of the “mining tray” product is now under way to reduce manufacturing time (and therefore cost to you). Along with some capital investments and streamlining of production, I’m confident that I will be able to meet demand in the very near future.
I am grateful for the overwhelming, enthusiastic response to my products and I look forward to fulfilling all my customer’s requests just as soon as the production schedule permits.
