i'm just gonna go with GPU set up actually.
i went ahead and bought a few 3070 GPUs. I'll buy more to have 6 of them.

Along with those,
Intel Xeon L5630 2.13GHz SLBVD 12MB LGA1366 Quad Core Processor MATCHING PAIR
Supermicro X8DTE Dual Socket 1366 E-ATX Motherboard DDR3 SATA2 w/ I/O Shield
Both are refurbished/used. like $60 for both.
Do you guys think this is the best combo?

Did you check how many cards your motherboard can handle? That's the first question you should ask when choosing rig hardware.

6 i think. i dont know why i can't attach a pic here.
can any cheap MB handle 6-10 GPUs?

Go to manufacturers site, open full specs for your MB and carefully check pcie slots parameters. there will be your answer.

4 (x8) PCI-E 2.0 slots
1 (x4) PCI-E 2.0 slot
1 (x4) PCI-E slot

This should be good to run 6 3070, right?
not sure what x4 and 2.0 slots are
