$ 200 for a motherboard with 8 graphics cards?
+ you still need to buy a processor, cooler and RAM
It is very expensive, I buy ready-made kits no more than $ 100 (motherboard, processor + CO and memory).
Maybe I don't understand something about mining, but I always try to reduce the cost of those components that do not affect performance.
If we save on raising, we will spend on additional cooling

yeah you are neglecting that this board can mine xmr

is it worth it to you to be able to put in a ryzen cpu and mine xmr then buy the board.

if now you don't want it.

this amd board is very much like this intel board.

I did a group buy of 40 of these back in 2017.  they still work well but they are not good for mining xmr.

since I have 4 ryzen 3900 mining xmr
and I have 1 ryzen 3970 mining xmr
and 1 ryzen 3960 mining xmr

I would be interested in this board.

since you are all intel you would not be interested in the least. As intel sucks to mine xmr

I still may not get a lot of these boards as this is grass roots we are not near ready and 500 x 200 = 100,000 usd

If this gets off the drawing board I would get some.

BTW you are correct intel setups are cheaper.
