Your 5th generation open rig with Sidehack's wrapped cables and molex breakout boards looks very clean and might be something we would be interested in.  Are you selling these rigs (Complete or just shells) or selling the plans with a parts list?

I've been considering making them available - the main reason I haven't is just because they're quite a bit more expensive than the open frame rigs, so didn't really want to listen to people complaining about how much they cost.  Wink  I view them as a fixed equipment purchase while I swap out cards, etc - so for me I'd rather pay a bit more and have a clean/high quality solution that's easy to work with.  Which is also why I love sidehack's work.  Wink

@ markAZ. How much mh you got ?

I am now at 25 cards around 550mh.

I do no bios flashing and run pretty much stock 20/21 for rx 470 and 25 for rx 480

I don't do any bios flashing either - and the total is just shy of 2GH/s.  I've just been slowing adding machines, so I'll probably go to about 3GH with this setup.

I'm using the Sapphire Nitro+ 8GB RX470's, and seeing pretty consistent 24MH/s with Claymore (which is what I run on everything).  I only have a couple of RX480's (the original ones), and they perform almost identically to the RX470's (at least the ones I buy).



2gh is nice.  I can't cool my garage enough to get to 2gh.  I have 2 x 30 amp  240 volt lines  so I can do    over 10kwatts of power.  I just won't be able to cool that off.  

My goal for the winter is 32 cards and about 700mh.  Cards 26 and 27 arrive next week.

I like a few cards  this one  is decent  http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814137024&cm_re=msi_rx_470-_-14-137-024-_-Product
