They look sweet :-) I'm interested in the config, is that a server PSU with breakout above, motherboard on the right and acrylic on the top and sides to channel airflow?

Yup, that's the basic layout - I put the SSD on the top also, so I can put a full-size board on the right side... DPS2000-BB with Optimizer breakout, 2x 254MM fans, and acrylic on all sides except the front and back - so the air is channeled through. I tried closing the front around the fans, but it actually made airflow worse as it would tend to pocket hot air in the front... If you search around, I think I put up some thermal images from different configuration I tried.

Cool thanks. I'm moving my rigs from a spare room into the garage soon so noise won't be as much of a concern. I think your config will be my new template Cheesy

High power ATX PSUs with lots of PCIE sockets have become hard to source lately and the server options make much more sense. I guess you can safely run a couple of risers per PCIE socket with a splitter?

We use a splitter to run both the GPU and Riser off the same PCIE cable from the server PSU and it works very well. If you have a high power GPU, like a GTX 1080 Ti or an older AMD GPU (or the new Vega I suppose) make sure you are using 16 AWG (or thicker) PCIE cables and Splitters both.

I'm running 1070s and 1060s so splitters it is. Now to try and figure out which Aliexpress vendors are honest about wire gauges
