I'm in the process of assembling parts for a quad 1080Ti build. This is what I've gathered so far after catching up on the forums and on the interwebz:

- Motherboard: Asus X99E WS - USB 3.1 : It's a workstation motherboard which supports 16x16x16x16 PCiE 3.0. Apparently 8x8x8x8 should be enough, but just to be on the safe side...
- CPU: i7 5930k: has 40 lanes support. According to ASUS their motherboard can also do 4 GPU's with 28 lanes because it has some built in chips for that, but just to be on the safe side....
- 4 x1080Ti FE: because they got better cooling ... I guess it's also the only thing that will be available initially...
- 1200 W PSU: Or should I get 1500W?
- Big Tower EATX case (the board is CEB, but should fit on EATX). I'm thinking Corsair Obsidian 750D.
- M2 Samsung 960 Pro with 512GB. I can add some normal SSD for additional storage
Any recommendations on memory? I guess 32GB SSD4 is ok?

WRT software: I'll be running hashcat under Linux Mint. I don't foresee any issues , unless someone here thinks different?

Comments are welcome... it's been a while since I've been following HW developments, so I hope I haven't missed anything. And...a big thanks for hashcat. It rocks!

cheers,

barbsie

For the case, consider the 730T.  Here's why.
