Hi Friends & Followers!
Around two months ago I wanted to start earning some passive income as Ethereum had hit some major highs getting well over $300 USD. So I thought why not start building some rigs and buying some GPU's and fitting them out. The time that I got into it was just at the time when everyone else decided to start building rigs, so one , it made the price of GPU's extremely expensive and two, made them hard to actually even find. I persevered and luckily found some low priced cards to start my new project. In all I purchased 11 GPU's ranging from RX 470 4GB's to RX 480 8GB's and some RX 570 and RX 580's. I am really looking forward to the Vega 64 Cards that apparently will perform at around 100 MH/s each !!! Hopefully I will have a few next week if my order comes through. If I do manage to get them - I will be sure to share some benchmarks and performance videos :)
Remember, you can use this rig to Mine anything that uses a GPU - Find a list here of what will give you the best return for your mining power. Currently Ethereum and Musicoin provide the best returns at the time of writing this post.
Onto my rig build. I noticed a stack of rig cases for sale on Ebay for $100 USD+ and decided to build my own, so far I have built around 6, please note that in my video , my drill battery was playing up a little :( Anyway, Please watch my video and I have also included the dimensions and materials so you can also make one if you like.
You will find all the materials and dimensions on the bottom of the page, here is what the build looks like
Buy your materials - In Australia , I buy my materials at Bunnings Hardware - I love that place, obviously overseas, you would visit your local hardware store for your materials and you may find yours are cheaper than here.
You will need a hacksaw, some masking tape to reduce the sharp edges on your aluminium angle when you cut it and a cordless or wired drill. You will also require 2.5 metres of aluminium angle, some timber and some self drilling screws, I have a list at the end of my post.
This is the aluminium angle I use.
Always check your measurements twice to avoid wasting your materials! haha

See you next time!
