Pretty easy and straight forward. Very easy to set up. I had built a wood rack but felt this would be easier and more upgradable. It takes up very little room and it adjustable without cutting a single thing! Just check the dimensions for what will suit your needs. Mine is 36" wide and accommodates 2x systems on top and possibly 2x more systems on the bottom. Here are some links for the part links below. I went with the black one since it had a lower chance of conductivity. I made sure to put some fitting cardboard under the mobo just in case. I used twisty ties to hold the cards up which worked great. Could use some thing Zip-Ties if you know how you want it and can leave it. I had to move mine around a bit so the twisty ties were easier.

One 240/30A should be adequate :) That gives you 7,200 watts and even at 80% load that's 5,760 watt max so you're pretty close to that number. Go with two x2 240/30A for now; you may just need the one extra down the road if you expand or have a tool or something that can take advantage of the 240's. Might as well get it done while the electrician is in there.
We upgraded ours completely as our 100 amp panel to be upgraded so had my friend (master electrician) install new 200 amp panel (waiting for 200A drop by the electric company). 40-slot panel including whole house surge protector (fits inside two slots).
I took the possible maximum power each card can draw just to have some breathing room and ended up with x2 240/30A breaker running on L6-30 plugs with Tripp-Lite PDU's (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0007YG85A) I split the power between the two lines even though I can probably run all my 40 1080 Ti's on one but wanted to spread the load a bit.
240's are nice since there's a slight increase in efficiency but also you're able to run server PSU's like HP's with breakout board which ends up being cheaper than buying couple 1200W PSU's.

I am thinking about trying 4 to 1 pci risers since the motherboard has less then the desired 8 PCI slots for the 8 cards. How should I set up the 4to1 risers to maximize my chances of success of 8 GPU's on this board? I assume its as you stated above correct? I understand nothing is a sure fire thing, just trying to maximize my chance of success is all. Thanks a lot for all your help.
I have to disagree with those saying buying 1000$ worth of Crypto. Hardware purchases can be resold should there be issues with gpu mining. That leads to my question below...
Do you have any interest in PC Gaming? That is the easiest way to justify hardware purchases. Building a standard gaming machine that can also mine while you are not using it, I mine and game at the same time with some games. It won't be as effective as a purpose built mining machine, however it will be easier to game on, or resell should there be an issue with gpu mining, or the crypto market suddenly fails. Bump it up to 1200$ for a solid gaming machine (that number counts hardware like monitor/keyboard/mouse/headset).
If you do not have any interest in pc gaming, any open air cases like this would do well : https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07H44QS7N/ref=cm_sw_r_fm_apa_i_t8tkDbKYZAENT?fbclid=IwAR0W4fe5ksaEl9DAobAlsls37yi-aJV4VSEqifZiMv841lcl9XNMYq5fwW4
If you do PC Game, you won't want multiple cards, I would recommend a single gpu, roughly 30-40% your budget. For PC gaming, you need less of a cpu than you might think (unless you are streaming). A solid Ryzen 5 3600 would be more than enough (and it is capable of mining, just not as efficient as gpu).

I just built this for something to keep me out of trouble, didn't really expect to make any money, maybe free heat in the winter. So far I'm pleasantly surprised it's making ~$40 weekly (at rates as of today, lol) after deducting power costs. No sure how long it will last at that rate, but I'm having fun. Got one more 8pin (to dual 6pin) corsair type 3 cable arriving next week, then will be able to throw another card in there (PSU has six 8pin ports). Making about 100+ RVN daily right now, probably gonna look for newer coins once in awhile and just HODL them all and see what happens...that's my stragegy so far.
I was very surprised how well the 3 front fans do only being 800 to 1000 RPM, then again I don't have monster GPUs in this rig, just 6pin 1060s. Heat did NOT increase after closing the top, BUT I had to remove the front door because it cut down airflow too much and things heated up very quickly. Mining X16 seems to keep heat / power usage down I guess? Haven't mined much else yet, I suspect ethash might be a different story.
EDIT: The four 1060 GPUs are only pulling 330 watts at the wall...pretty sweet. I haven't mined in years, I was predicting a lot higher.
Definitely going to go for the Asus Strix 1070s then, what frame do you have? Also do you go for
Pci risers like this?
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06ZY2R85P/ref=ox_sc_mini_detail?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A12GMIJD0C8L78
There's so many i am curious whats the best
I have one, it is awesome!!! https://imgur.com/1kX6ukk. Comes with brackets to mount fans too. Highly recommend super sturdy, Don't know what LawrieUK is saying about holes missing, all mine were there. I got this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073SMF21G/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Buy newer risers that have multiple power options including molex. Use molex cable plugged into your PSU's PERIF to power some risers. People say 2 risers per molex cable should be safe.
008s are good for regular motherboards. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B076KP6FQC/_encoding=UTF8?coliid=I109IHYT52W3ZA&colid=2CHXPKAXDY2PJ&psc=0
009s are good for mining motherboards like Asus B250 mining expert and such.

You can use the 007 risers you bought once you've used up the PSU's molex cables.
That's very insightful advice for grow tent.
But what do you think for (without tent) solution? I have 2 small windows in my basement. If I put 2 windows fan like these:
Bionaire Twin Reversible Airflow Window Fan with Remote Control https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000065DKJ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_Ds5EAbH7BJ1R4
And a strong large fan at the end of basement ( close to door) like this:
Vornado 660 Large Whole Room Air Circulator Fan https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0025QKUE8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_Et5EAb68EK640
Would it work?
Like I said I really wanna find other solution other then the tent IF POSSIBLE.
Considering that I don't have like 100gpus, but only 9 up to 27.
Create a business.
Get commercial electric rates by googling “commercial electricity near me” and choosing an energy provider that offers commercial electric in your area. (You can get commercial electric in your home if it is also your business address).
Install 30-amp 240 volt circuit breakers with one corresponding outlet for each breaker. Buy one 30-amp PDU to plug into your 240 volt outlet. Make sure you install the correct outlets for the plug on the PDU that you choose.
Do not waste money on air conditioning. Install ducted ceiling exhaust fans. Exhaust through the roof and out of the house (not into the attic), or into an active plenum of a commercial space.
Feel free to message me for help with setting up your operation.
They came with the frame I bought. Here is a link to that frame if you wanna research those parts.
Aluminum Stackable Mining Case Rig Open Air Frame For ETH/ETC/ ZCash (Black) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073SMF21G/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_c_api_JXaNAbG980ZX0
My rig is loud, but my vegas run at 45 degrees celsius, which is really good I imagine. It is the memory that gets realllllly hot though, and Im not sure if that specific temperature is factored into the monitor program’s stated temperature, or if it is averaged.
I tried turning down the fan speeds, but I got blue screens lol even though I was chillin at 50 degrees celsius. I figure because the memory overheated. Anyways, goodluck!
Thanks for letting me know. Is it worth getting for the Fans though? Here's another frame that has a drawer which I imagine would be useful: https://www.amazon.com/Crypto-Mining-Miner-Frame-Ethereum/dp/B073SYFJ6B/ref=lp_17375913011_1_13?srs=17375913011&ie=UTF8&qid=1511926005&sr=8-13

Look good to you? Any suggested changes?
I found a custom cord page on that site:
https://www.stayonline.com/custom_power_cords.aspx
I'm not sure how it validates the configuration since receptacles have different wires/grounding but they have an email you can contact on there for guidance.
If it's possible to change that plug into a NEMA L5-30 (which it seems is possible on that custom cord page) then op could get a PDU like this:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000083KIV
That might be a little overkill for what op needs.
Another option to consider is instead of using the C13 to NEMA 5-15 cables from your PSU, you can use C13 to C14 to a PDU that accepts them which would run your PSUs at 240V instead of 120V. Then instead of the NEMA 10-50 to L5-30 op could get a cable that does NEMA 10-50 to L6-30 and a PDU like this:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0007YG85A
This is all operating under the assumption that it is possible to convert 10-50 to L5-30 or L6-30. NEMA 10-50 is non-grounding so that may be an issue.
MSI, EVGA and Asus all are good choices. Just make sure you don't go for a single fan version.
I personaly have some GTX 1660 Ti from MSI and I'm glad with it: https://www.amazon.com/MSI-GeForce-GTX-1660-Ti/dp/B07N824KNV/
I love the 009s risers. There are PWR LED indicators on the PCB. Can be extremely helpful when troubleshooting cards.

https://www.amazon.com/Graphics-Extension-Powered-Adapter-Capacitors/dp/B077JYBDYT/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1519284581&sr=8-1&keywords=009s
I have used these from Mintcell as well as these from Explomos.
I have not had problems with either but I do think the Mintcell ones are easier to run wires as the connector for power is on the back by the USB plug in as opposed to on the side of the riser like the Explomos. But everyone has a different rig and wiring schema so that would be up to you.
How many are you looking at buying? I have some spare Explomos ones I could send you for cheap.
Yeah, parents suck sometimes. They think because they have authority they know what is right but it's not true.
I'm not sure what to tell you, best you could do is probably buy something like this and get 24 hours or more of data. If they still don't believe you then I'm not sure what else you can do except find a friend's house or something. Maybe you can find someone whose parents will let you run it for a small premium on the electricity?
Depends on the CPU, I would expect something like Ryzen to be worth it. You should get a watt meter so you can keep track of your electricity usage.

Fun Fact: Switching to LED bulb saves about 80 watts of electricity per light bulb!
PWM fan with PST feature.
PWM = "pulse-width modulator"; PST = "PWM sharing technology"
That "sharing technology" allows you to daisy-chain 3-5 fans together.

Yeah, I had an older 4 slot gaming board which I turned into 7 with a PCIe splitter. It also worked on my Z270-A which expanded it to 12 slots. But splitters can be hit or miss, especially with older mobos.
Whatever you do, do NOT order from Cryptomined. Scammed out of $39 for a splitter that I paid for with crypto. Got the run around for months upon months. Should've just ordered through Amazon to begin with, which I just ended up doing.
The wiki links here for a list of appropriate motherboards if you're going to spend money on a new one.
Some other lists:

https://forum.getpimp.org/topic/720/list-of-top-known-motherboards-for-multi-gpu-mining
Also, here's an interesting post I saved awhile back about a guy who used to buy a bunch of those cheap enterprise desktops and converted them into 3-4 gpu rigs. I guess this made more sense back when Z270s and mining experts were selling for $300.
Cant access the link but googled the name, i found these which look like they have adjustable shelves. Much cheaper this way and i can just put the fans on a the upper shelves above the GPUs like you did with your fans.
Oh I see now. I have these risers that come with 6 pin to sata.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06ZY2R85P/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I also have 2 sata to 8 pin power cables that came with my psu, the ones that look like this:
http://www.hardwareasylum.com/images/sst-st85f-gs/sata_power_cable.jpg
How many risers could I plug into one of these? I only have 2 cables which would be 3 risers per cable. Would it be better to get another cable and do 2 risers per cable?
Basically I've got a corsair HX1200i PUS https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-HX1200i-Modular-Platinum-Certified/dp/B00U6GTONM and i'm trying to figure out how to power the 6 cards plus the risers in the most correct manner.
Since it has 6 8pin connections, 1 was going to go to the mobo. the other 5 would help power the 6 gpus.... (1 being daisy chained). I'd power the risers with molex. 2 risers on a single pref cable.
Need 2min of your time to check if this all together will work OK with 6GPU , Will buy more later. Limited budget lol

I dont have a big budget
I ordered 6 a few days ago (Monday Night I think) from Amazon, delivered today, earlier than I expected. Shipped from Tx, not China.
https://www.amazon.com/6-Pack-Powered-Riser-Adapter-Extension/dp/B06ZY2R85P
I ordered the 006c version as opposed to the 006 version every else seems keen on. Not sure what the difference is besides the color and the power connector is a 6pin vs the 4pin of the 006. Haven't used them yet.
yeah i got this one https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B073W9KCFC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 it's one of those Ubit ones from amazon. works w/ Windows (make sure to install one GPU at a time) and no-fuss set-up on HiveOS
Get fans like these which have daisy chain built in, or get a powered splitter like this:

Chances are they are V009S available on Amazon.

UPS aren't relevant here. They are battery backups. You need a PDU. I use this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0007YG85A/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Make sure the plug matches. You will also need C14 to C13 power cords.
You also have two PCI Express slots, so pick up a PCI E splitter for one or both! You may run into issues if the motherboard doesn't have options like Above 4G Decoding or setting lane speed, but 3 should work fine.

Save yourself a headache and return that board. I have only had problems with it when mining.
Pick up one of these:
https://www.amazon.com/GIGABYTE-GA-H110-D3A-LGA1151-Cryptocurrency-Motherboard/dp/B073ZMZV6K
But if you want to try to fix it set:
In bios set PCI-E slots to gen 2.
Enable 4g decoding
Here's a link on Amazon that isn't overpriced

I believe ver008 would work. I personally am using these ver009s: PCIE Riser 1X TO 16X Graphics Extension for GPU Mining Powered Riser Adapter Card, 60cm USB 3.0 Cable, 4 Solid Capacitors, Two 6PIN and Molex 3 Power Options (VER 009S, 6-Pack) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077JYBDYT/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_TqIIAbQ3V6V1W
That card is a usb 3.0 controller card, it wont work with any pcie risers.

Theoretically you could shove 20 cards on there as mining doesnt use a lot of bandwidth

Could use one of these adapters along with one of these PDU's. We use a similar setup with an unused NEMA 14-50 outlet.

Gonna figure out something for the case soon or just make one. Checked the parts to see if they're compatible and they seem fine together but I could be wrong. This won't be a profitable build, I'm aware but just for fun. Total cost just a little above 700 at 764
