"Hey fellow miners, I'm about to take the plunge and build my first DIY crypto mining rig on a super tight budget. I've scrounged up some old GPUs, a motherboard, and a case, but I'm still deciding on the best power supply and how to keep everything cool. Anyone have any tips on building a rig on a shoestring?"

"Yooo, just made a rig with 6x 3080s and a 2U case, cost me around $3k. Used a cheap 1600w psu, don't know how it's holding up but so far so good. Been averaging 20MH/s on the network!"

"Hey guys, just wanted to chime in on the rig build thread. I recently pieced together a 6 GPU rig using some second-hand RX 580s and an old motherboard - total cost was around $800. Anyone else have some tips on how to optimize power efficiency on a budget setup?"

"Lol @ trying to build a rig on a shoestring. I've tried that route before and ended up breaking even on the mining itself, let alone making a profit. Anyways, if anyone's interested I can share my DIY rig build using old gaming laptops, still one of my favorites."
