For those interested in mining with GTX 750's here is an eBay link to what I am currently purchasing.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/ZOTAC-NVIDIA-GeForce-GTX-750-1-GB-GTX750-1GD5-Video-Card-128bit-DVI-HDMI-VGA/142732559955

These GTX 750's are Zotac branded, have the full double wide bracket (easier to attach to mining frames) and can be easily overclocked. I am getting around 245 H/s at 38.5 watts on these.

Another good thing is that these need no additional power cables as they get all their power from the PCIe slot. With the power draw being so low you can use risers that are powered with SATA to 6-pin cables.

Would you mind posting a pic showing how you've set these up? I'm assuming you've mounted a mining case on top of the chassis. I've got one PCIe expansion card that I can use. The other system doesn't have one, but if I can set the first one up it shouldn't be a big deal to find another board.

Here are the pictures: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1U33Y79vH8k2JRHRRzP2ftPNUTMvhkk2m

This is the rack I am using: Whitmor 4 Tier Floor Shoe Rack - 20 Pair - Storage Organizer

I haven't done this but if you need the rack shorter in width you should be able to use a hack-saw and shorten the metal horizontal rods.

And do you think Linux Mint would work for an O/S?

If you want simple, quick and free mining then I would recommend HiveOS (free for up to three rigs): https://hiveos.farm

In the pictures you see two of my HP DL580 G7's with 8x GTX 750's (2 in case, 6 on mining rack) that are each mining 3.35 KH/s on HiveOS.

On my other Servers I have gone with Ubuntu but it is royal pain-in-the-butt to get it installed and configured properly. You will also have to compile XMR-Stak.

The 750's are definitely cheap enough, but I'm also wondering about using 770's and 950's, of which I have several of sitting here collecting dust. Power usage on the 770's may be way out of line though.

The 770 do give more H/s but as you mentioned it uses a lot more power:

The GTX 950 seems to do a little better than the GTX 750 at a slight more power usage. So that would be a good choice since they are free as in unused gathering dust.
