Pictures of your mining rigs!

Wait, what case is that?

maybe a coolermaster

That looks like an Antec 300.

That's what I thought as well, as I have the same one, and it looks very similar. I'm not home, so I can't compare, so that's why I asked.

This looks far too clean to be a mining rig. Please try again and add some wood, velcro and duct tape.

LOL

Lets not forget the lunch box and thermos.

Yup you got it. The original 300. Even with the front and side filters on, the air flow in thing is freakin amazing.

Zalman and Antec work so well together. They should go on a date ! ahahahah

mmmm... nerd porn ! 

LUV it.

Naaa.

finally got around to taking a few pics of my rig.

ASRock P67 Extreme 4 Gen 3, Intel Celron G550, 4GB ddr3 1333, 4 x HD5970, Corsair AX1200

Just a thought from looking at your pics. Are you aware you forgot to connect a molex to the pci-e power on your mobo.  The one just above your first expansion slot. It might be a good idea.

I think you only need that 4pin molex on the mobo with certain CPU's or if heavily OC'in the CPU itself  

Edit:Ooppps,its an extra SLI / XFIRE Power Connector

When does this connector need to be used

Yep I got an Antec 300, and it works great. Mine didn't include an air filter on the side GPU fan, but I have it blowing out, so it's not a problem. When I had a stock cooler on my 5870 that blew air out the back of the case, I wished I'd had a filter. Now that I have a 7970 with fans that blow onto the card and recirculate air around the case, I actually like the fan blowing out.

I also have a Hyper 212+ cooler on my FX-8120, and the case airflow is so good over the heatsink I took the fans off of it. The 120 on the back and the 140 on the top draw more than enough air over the heatsink, that it still stays quite cool.

If I didn't have fans in both the front 2 slots blowing air in, this setup prolly wouldn't work, but as it is, it's quite decent, and pretty quiet as well.

If the gpus are undervolted, then its probably no bigge. As far as I know, it should be used whenever 2 or more gpus are being used.

If you're looking for quiet, I've got the Antec Sonata 3 myself. You'll have to look for the leds lighting up to know if you turned it on or not because you can't hear a thing.

Also the lacquered piano-black exterior makes it look fucking awesome provided you keep it polished.

For my MediaPC downstairs hooked up to the TV, that'd be great. In fact the case I have down there is several years old, but looks very similar in design to that one. However, no airflow and only a single 120mm fan does not make this a very noteworthy gaming case, esp for $120!

Yes I am aware it is unplugged however I have done some extensive testing and noticed no difference with it plug in or without it. The cards are running stable oc'd to 825 stock voltages

That's pretty sick... Unfortunately I don't have a business to run my machine at, and anytime I've got more than 12 cards running, my AC & vacuum won't play nicely together. I'm almost afraid I'll start a fire one of these days...

I would always use it, as it will not hinder anything by it being plugged in.  But yes it is to provide supplemental power to the mobo's pci-e power.

I have a bunch of 7970....  the hot air is blown out the front of the card.. but it looks like your fans are pushing the hot air back into the rigs..  turn them all around?

I have a similar issue. If I have my washing machine and dishwasher running at the same time as my rigs my main breaker outside trips and powers down the whole house. I can use the washer or dishwasher individually and everything works fine. My rigs are chained into my AC breaker so even if it did work that'd be a no go.

I think you should change to bigger power line, It will be fine
