6 GPU AMD RX570/470 Ethereum Mining Rig Up and Running
After experiencing several technical difficulties building this new rig for ethereum we have got her up an running. It started with a bad motherboard, then no display to monitor, failed to recognize boot device, then not detecting our GPU's but now it's complete. I have some experience building basic desktop computers, but a rig of this magnitude was new to me. We need one more 8+6 pin VGA connector for one of the rx 570's but I will get that set up later.

Thanks to buriedone.com for the build idea and for sharing links to all these items on his website. You can find the build here -> https://www.buriedone.com/amd-6-rx-470-570-build.html. He has some excellent tips on his YouTube channel as well.
I also put two rx 470's in my old Alienware computer (circa 2006) and it is running like a dream. Jamie has also decided to invest in a mining rig so we will be building an 8 GPU ethereum miner here soon. We want to get as much eth before it goes to PoS and then we will switch to another coin, possibly BTG.
What sort of cost was the whole rig? And with electricity factored in, what sort of rate of return do you think you can get with it?
The whole rig is around $2200 and earns $344.62 a month after electric costs. You get paid out every time you earn 0.2 ethereum on my mining pool.
