Just finished my DIY open-air mining frame. Cost me like $20 in steel 🤝

Finally got the rig mounted on a custom frame I welded up this afternoon. It cost peanuts compared to the overpriced aluminum racks online, plus it’s rock solid. Drop a pic of your setup, let’s see who went the cheapest route!

love the creativity and thriftiness, what kind of rig are you running on the frame? also curious if you've accounted for any heat dissipation on the setup.

That's awesome work, dude. You're basically printing crypto at this point. How many rigs did you squeeze onto that frame?

She's a beauty, love a good budget build. Way better than dropping a bill on those flimsy aluminum frames.

that's a solid build for the price, what kind of hardware did you manage to cram in there? hoping you're seeing some decent returns on your investment.

That looks super clean for the price, nice work! Way better than overpaying for a commercial rack when you can just build one yourself. Let us know how the airflow is once you load it up.

That looks super clean, especially for only $20. Way better than dropping a fortune on those overpriced retail racks.

Nice build, hows the airflow and temps looking in that open setup? Did you add any fans or is it all natural convection? Curious to see how it performs compared to my closed case rig

That looks super clean, honestly way better than dropping hundreds on a pre-made rack. She’s a beaut, nice W keeping the costs down.

That looks super clean, props on the build! You seriously can't beat $20 for a solid frame, commercial ones are such a rip-off. Throw some GPUs on there and let's see the temps!
