Building a Rig with 4 GPUs - Thoughts?
#1
I've been researching some different options to create a password cracking rig that will contain 4 GPUs. I'm looking for your input to see if this "semi-budget" build using a mix of new and used parts will work out with the following parts I've listed below. Please let me know if there's better options in the same price range and maybe other cheaper options I should consider that con accomplish the same thing. I'm vendor agnostic and don't mind used/open box parts.

        Part | Cost | Condition
  • Samsung - 860 EVO 1TB Internal SATA SSD | $109 | Used
  • Rosewill Hercules 1600w Power Supply | $130 | Used
  • NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 8 GB Founders Edition GPU | $350 | Used
  • CHENBRO RM41300-FS81 Black Server Case | $163 | New
  • Intel Core i7-5930K | $100 | Used
  • Cooler Master Hyper 212 Black Edition CPU Cooler | $30 | New
  • 2 x Crucial Ballistix Sport LT 16 GB (1 x 16 GB) DDR4-2400 RAM | $130 | New
  • Gigabyte X99 SLI ATX Motherboard | $170 | Used
  • Total Cost: $1,181.97 as of 2-11-2020
Let me know what you think, thanks in advance!

Note: This build will start with one GPU in the beginning and the additional GPUs & RAM will be added over time. Also a server case is preferred right now so it can be rack-able (open to suggestions on other cases).
