There aren't a lot of options with both a blower-style fan and a front air intake. The 2080s are completely out of stock everywhere. The 1080 TIs are the next best option, but they're fairly hard to find. I found 4 for $750 and 4 for $1,000.
The topic has been fairly well covered in other posts, but for those who come after me, this article is extremely helpful and details what to look for in GPUs. https://passwordvillage.org/hardware.html#rig_setup
One addition I'd add is that several of the newer cards I've seen with blower fans don't have any air intake at the front (2080 Supers in particular). They just expect to draw air from the side which doesn't work when you pack them together in a case.
