When i first started my 1st rig, got a nice rack blah blah.... when I decided to go full steam ahead in 2016, speed to deploy was the essence and built the miners around the full height rack itself, with GPUs hanging via metal S hooks.... then when space and GPU density came into play.... I got rid of risers all together and standardized on riserless motherboards like the K35 mostly and a few Oanda, Colorful motherboard variants. You can find the pictures of my open air rigs in one of Phil's thread. One more thing.... the biggest game changer for me was using SMOS and dicthing Windows all together... that saved me tons of hours in rig building and babysitting sick rigs on Windoze
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:
