I am beginning to think if I have one monster system to tinker with I may be a happier camper.
Personally I prefer several systems as it gives me more options, ie crunching several different kinds of tasks at the same time or maxing things out and putting everything on one kind of task.
In your case with the 3080Ti's you could get a smaller cpu based pc just to run them and then a monster cpu in a 2nd case with a less than 3080Ti in it to play with.

Mikey,
That sounds like a great start for another thread. Let me see now...

3 year old board that looks to have never shipped to the US, no sold listings on eBay at all. I can’t even find any reviews of anyone actually having one (all online reviews are speculative reviews based on the product spec using the stock photos from AsRock, not an in-hand review).
these kinds of products are 99% of the time more trouble than it’s worth (same goes for other 8-GPU boards like this). They are made with minimum specs as cheaply as possible to cater to miners. They won’t work too well with BOINC, and when you inevitably run into issues, you’ll have no support.
And yes they ship to the US but you have to be careful where you are buying from as it's NOT 2 day shipping. I order the toothbrush heads my dentist likes, they are German ones, thru AliExpress once a year and it takes about a month to get to me.

I was reading some reviews

I was reading some reviews about running a 3950x on B450 chipset MB's.
And the Asus B450 Strix-F appeared to be running hot enough to cause CPU throttling.
Darn.

Express shipping usually speeds up the delivery ...
The custom tax has to be also considered.
