Mining PrOn - did you ever build a mining rig for beauty / aesthetics

[btcgolong]

You know what I'm talking about - sure you can just lay the components on a wood table/frame - fans at top speed - cranking out "hash"

OR

did you try and make it look good - same color components, same glowing fans, neat cable routing, equally spaced on racks (or in the same cases).


Tell me about your current or past mining rig setup or post some pics. Maybe it's just me, but I love looking at neat/organized mining setups.

I had two gpu mining rigs. One intel based, one AMD based. Both had 6x EVGA 1070Ti's. Ran from M.2 sata drives and both from server psus with breakout boards and picos psu's. Both had the same Noiseblocker NB-Loop 120mm fans running at 100% and whisper quiet. All cabled managed to a fan hub one side. The frames I made myself to similar specs as the Parallel Miner ones they used to sell. Used thumbs screws for the gpus and each riser screwed to a supporting bracket which ran the length of the frame. Each gpu had custom sleeved cables from the server breakout board. all cables were cable tied and managed as best I could. I even fixed an aluminium momentary power switch, power led and HDD led to the frame just for a quick reference to see if they were running. I'll see if I can find any old pictures. I was a while ago as the intel was running a Z270 and the AMD was running X370.

Found a pic of one done and the other half ready for populating, cable management improved once the second rif was done:-

There are quite some older threads on this subject, so if you want to take a look, OP, just search a little:

The more older posts may be missing images, but some pretty cool ones are still there.
