I'm doing some research on building my first cracking rig with 8 x GTX 1080s and could use some advice. From what I gathered so far, cracking rigs can't be built with the same specs as mining rigs as CPU/RAM/Disk IO actually matter.
I'm considering getting this chassis for portability, since I might need to move it to cooler rooms in the house - https://www.amazon.com/Hydra-III-Server-...861&sr=8-4
Then slapping in a standard ATX like this -- https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N2R...518a83adbc
Along with 32 GB of RAM, a decent CPU, two 1600 PSUs with PSU splitter connected to the mobo, and SSD.
Is there anything I should know before going this route? Other considerations? Any advice would be great.
