Introduction the basic constructs of a 6 GTX 1070 GPU ethereum mining rig, after overclocked, hashing at 180 Mh/s. The key feature is the components are tuned to run fast, power efficient, cool and quiet, at each GPU draw 110W, 60C, 50% fan and 30 Mh/s. In addition to the GPU’s RGB colors, the rig’s fan add to the light show enjoyment of the rig when the lights are out.

Notes:
I am using this pre-built Ubuntu image for the UBS stick
Using Linux save the cost for OS and directly boot from USB3 stick will save the cost of HDD.
No matter what, the main cost is coming from the GPUs, depending on your appetite for the hash rate!
