Hi I'm pretty new to the ETH mining thing, I'm just wondering if my motherboard with 2 GPU slots is able to hold 4 GPU using any sort of "extension" adapters?
For example attaching risers to each GPU and have another GPU connected to it? Would that work somehow? or would I need to buy a new 4GPU slot MOBO?

I think I will follow the build you're using as I'm definitely intending to buy more than 1 rig if the price of ETH stays stable. Currently tho I'm testing out making one rig first from my old MOBO that I don't use anymore. I didn't know that PCIex1 slots could be used but I did manage to google about the cables earlier yesterday and bought some from ebay. Though the price for each is costing me around 11AUD each.
Does yours cost less than that including shipping?(Shipping for me is F.O.C) Also for the CPU as long as it's cheap and it works with the MOBO I think it would be sufficient haha
Oh and for PSU would you recommend using one PSU or having two PSU bound together on a jumper? I'm just worried that if it's only one PSU that if it was a 1300W PSU it would kill the Wall Power Source because it's all focused on one node. lol.
Good luck!

I managed to get everything bought from a really nice new business for mining with 2 years warranty. GPUshack. They've shipped their orders through and I'm due to receive it soon. Just waiting on their official release of the layman friendly ethereumOS
