Looking forward to wndsr's autobiography later this year. Wndsr's Mine(Mein) Kampf.
I know you are all hungry for photos, they will come tomorrow! 
Everything has arrived now. My final specification for the rig was as follows:-
Intel Celeron 2.7Ghz Dual Core CPU
8GB Team Group DDR3 2400Mhz RAM
4 x Power Colour 280X GPU
1300W Antec Platinum PSU
30GB Kingston SSD
AsRock H61 Pro BTC
The frames will be made from aluminium with 3 cards mounted and 1 in the actual motherboard. I've struggled to find long riser cables for PCIx16 so this will do for now.
Total setup...
20 x 280X
4 x 290
Will post pictures soon.

Good God... 
How much £ wise have you spent on GPU's here?

Mine Kampf would have been a great name for this project.
Looking forward to the pics, Wndsr

Is there any reason for 8Gb of ram and the SSD?
I'm thinking about getting 2 machines like that and running linux from a pendrive without a HDD/SSD.

Looking forward to seeing this.
May I ask how much this will cost and have you worked out what your monthly electricity cost is going to be?
Scrypt Mining likes RAM because it allows for a higher thread concurrency. One of my current systems is limited to how 'intense' it can mine because of its lack of RAM.
The SSD uses less power than the HDD - only reason. Linux is very good and seems stable though as you can't easily get it to mine to multiple pools I favour Windows.
Looking forward to seeing this.
My costs have been just over £5000 currently. That's including everything from all the hardware, the networking stuff, the fitting of new plug sockets, the PCI risers.
Power wise I am probably looking at over £300 per month. Will do a full power test when I am up and running.
As promised...

Love it!

I thought thread concurrency was multiples of the shaders in the GPU?
I have 16GB of system ram but can only use 8192 thread concurrency on 7850 (8x 1024 shaders), any higher and cgminer just fails.

Depends on the coin, if he does Dogecoin which is the most profitable at the moment he can make about $3500 a month and depending on his electric tarrif itll cost $900-1000 in power.

I'm glad someone got that haha.
Looking good though! Are all the cages built up?

Damn that is some impressive stuff. Kudos for going for it

I really want to see this up and running, sick!
