I haven't tuned the software on these rigs for minimum overhead and I haven't overclocked the video cards yet either. Currently the farm is running at ~6GH/s or ~500MH/s for each 7970. I built it as fast as I could to get the mining started so they are currently running Ubuntu desktop. Ultimately I plan to create a Gentoo USB install that automatically tunes and mines each rig.

i like how you've stripped away half the cases - did you just drill out the rivets on some cheap/old cases?

That's exactly what I did. I used a dremel and just drilled out the rivets on the sides I wanted to cut away. I had to use some tin snips to cut away some of the bottom of the case as the 3rd video card would have used up a 9th PCIe slot which the cases didn't have. The cases are new and were about $25 each which is probably cheaper than some of the custom case builds I've seen.

So why exactly did you buy cases at all? Waste of money..
