Might sound like a basic question but how are you guys building your rigs with that many GPUs?
What I've done so far is I built my racks using cheap framing lumber... I just make sure MOBO has some spacing with wood using plastic pieces.
No way I'll invest in an aluminium frame at $100... I prefer to keep that money for GPUs.
Here are those masterpieces (there are actually two racks there... I just built them so they could be stacked):
I've seen those shelves being used a lot: https://www.amazon.com/Seville-Classics-UltraZinc-Shelving-Wheels/dp/B07CJVL5BK
... could have 6 rigs on one shelf. I'm wondering how I could "hang" GPUs on them though. What kind of frame/rack do you suggest?

I did the exact same as you, basically took a pen tube and cut it in small pieces and used those as the "spacing" between the wood and motherboard. Don't let the motherboard sit directly on the wood because there is a hot spot in one area, I think its the South or North gate of the motherboard and can get hot, might start a fire.
I also was going to use aluminum but they were too expensive, so I got some steel ones however they were crazy heavy and just stuck with wood instead. Had open air wood rigs for years and never any issues.
