What are you using for the rack? it looks awesome!

Using this stuff from local hardware store I found as the base, and cut up a few pieces of square pipe to make a cross bracket the cards sit on Smiley

Marvell1 - Very expensive here to upgrade house power to what's called 3 Phase, generally only available in industrial areas unless you pay big $$ for it, overpriced and would blow ROI way out the window.  I'll be setting up Phase 2 and 3 at a friends workshop, already has 3 phase power available (240 amp's available standard) which will house up to about 40+ rigs without interfering with their normal work duties).

Mzie - Cheers Smiley hopefully it's helping people along the way as well, not everyone has been mining for a long time so hoping to help people save time and less mistakes along the way.


@Ziljtv  Do you have to have phase 3 ? I'm personally upgrading my garage with a seperate 200amp service here with 240v outlets thats enough to do a bunch of rigs if i wanted
and it costs only $4000 usd, bascially a one time cost vs paying rent on a place with a one year lease and i can use the extra power for my woodworking workshop.  If youre using a friends location and its free good deal but for most paying say 2k each month for a space and being locked into a lease in a really volatile industry where profits could go to near zero at a moments notice is a no-go
