My GPU Mining Rig

Occasionally, I have to clean and lubricate the graphics cards' fans on my mining rig. As it is an open case, dust can easily get into the parts, and I have to go in there with some keyboard cleaner and oil. The reason for the open case is because it is a lot easier to make changes to the rig when upgrading or when diagnosing problems. The other reason is that there is a lot of heat generated from multiple cards and it is harder to fit so many cards into a closed case (there exists GPU server chassis, however).

Recently, I found one of the cards had a stopped fan, and it was not responding in the mining software. I thought it just needed a little cleaning and lubrication to the fans, but this was not the case. It turned out the fan motors themselves had burned out. I found a replacement online, and installed it:

Here is the rig back in operation!

This looks nice, I wonder if it makes lots of noise.

what graficcards do you use to mine?
how much power does this consume and what hashrates do you get?

These are AMD R9 280X from MSI. The whole rig consumes about 1000 Watts. On Equihash, I get 300 H/s with Claymore's miner.

Your frame looks great, very solid built! Where did you get it from or is this a DIY thing? 
Will post about my newly created rig, soon.
