You will have to excuse me for not listing my part list, as they are not unlimited in supply and I dont want them disappearing Wink

This setup does assume I will be able to find 750w-850w 80+ PSUs for ~$70, 2 per 8 cards. I typically can find Corsair or EVGA products on sale from time to time and swipe up a few, so not much of an issue there... PSUs would be used to push 470s, 480s, 1070s, 1060s, etc.  Wouldnt be pushing 1080tis or 390xs or anything that power hungry, but if I did I would adjust the PSU accordingly.

Ultimately, I can get the base setup for $100-$110 before PSUs and Cards, for an 8 card rig.  It seemed like a good deal compared to what I had been looking at, but was curious if others knew of anything better... The responses seem to confirm it is good Smiley

I am sure I could set up one of those 12-24+ PCIE motherboards for similar or less overall cost, but I hear things begin to become more of a headache the more cards you add to a single motherboard.
