Behold, my first ETH rig - BRUTUS -
5 x MSI R9-390 (about 28MH each x 5 = 140MH, no overclocking yet)
Pool: about 3.5-4 coins per day at Dwarfpool. Moved to ethpool.org, 5 coins every 1.5 days
Asrock H81 BTC Pro motherboard on Windows 8.1 Pro
Minimalist Celeron Dual core CPU with Crucial 4GB x 2
Samsung 850 Pro 120GB SSD
EVGA 1300w x 2 (next rig will use EVGA-1600w)
Custom open-cage rack
USB cable - PCI risers
Credits: thanks to "thedreamer" for helping me out with my first rig.
Note: I can't get the 6th x GPU working...
I am working on my next ETH rig, OLIVE....

What site did you use for that setup? Looks interesting. And if I may ask what is amount invested in that rig?
Plenty of awesome rigs in this thread, and I studied the older GPUs like 270s, 280s and the newer ones like R9-390s, Furies, Nanos... AMD vs NVidia, etc
I had help from a fellow forum member and I came up with a basic system..... but.....
A recent lucky streak got me a solo block at solo.ckpool.org and I used the funds to get R9-390 brand new.
At 366$ a piece x 6, it was the biggest ticket item in the system.
Surprisingly, the same MSI R9-390 is now 30$ higher just under 400$.
The after-market for AMD GPUs like the newer 390s is very good so I could sell them later or recycle it to mine other algo-coins.
Out of box 26-28MH per GPU easy for this 390, higher if overclocked.
The other components are quite entry level, as ETH mining is really about the GPU.
A 6-GPU setup will also need a badass PSU, like the EVGA-1300w, 1600w
