I looked at getting some 580's.  At $600 the ROI was over 120 days vs. around 60 days with the 1060.  If the price becomes more reasonable I'll have to have another look. Especially since AMD resell value seems to be higher than Nvidia.   

I've been pretty happy keeping them at 70°.  One of my r7 370's seems to want to run at 75° though. I've tried moving it around for better air flow with no luck on lowering the temp.  

I've been discussing cooling options with my dad and my son if I continue to build my farm up. My son says to go liquid my dad says to build an oven exhaust like housing over the rig to pull the hot air up and outside. 

The problem I have with liquid cooling and mineral oil is weight.  As my farm grows adding and moving around tanks may be a problem.  I have two areas (one currently has air conditioning) that could be used to build a storage room that would house the miners and install an exhaust system with additional air conditioning. In the winter it would be easy enough to turn off the exhaust, open the door and pull that heat into the kitchen.

Got a 580 on amazon.de for 220€ (8gb)
If you are American you Will not get this price I suppose :(

OH, btw, for a good airflow, get a case (if it's only 1 to 2 cpu's) with 3 vents: 1 front to suck air inside, 1 back and top to get it out of the case. 
People tend to open the case, but it disrupt the airflow!
