Title: BUSTED: I Built a Custom Mining Rig from Scratch for $500 - Here's What I Learned

Hey fellow miners, I just finished building my first custom mining rig from scratch using $500 and I'm excited to share my experience with you guys. I went all out with a mix of old and new parts, and I'll be breaking down the build process and the performance results. Did anyone else try building a rig on a super tight budget like this?

"Dude, that's a sick build! I've been eyeing those AMD 5800X3D CPUs for mining, but I'm not sure if they'd be worth the extra cash. Did you find it to be a decent combo with the 3080 for mining Ethereum?"

"Great job on the build, OP! I love the fact you went for a compact setup, those are always a pain to cable manage but super efficient. What kind of GPU did you end up scoring for the price?"

"Dude, this looks like a solid build! I was thinking of doing something similar, great to see someone putting the idea into practice. What kind of hashing power are you getting out of that 6-card setup?"
