So, working around this. Earlier plan for 16x -> 1x risers for my case won't work since *all* the slots in my board are x8/x16 form factor. Instead, repurposing my pseudo-NAS box to hold one 1080, and going to kludge a different solution with a ribbon riser in my workstation.

Rearranged things a bit more, jammed one of my 1080s into the mATX rig I was using as NAS. Probably consumes ~300W full tilt, which is more than my refrigerator. Wiferobot is going to want to store perishables, so I'm renting space for it in my DM's house at $25/mo + electricity

Semi-final setup. Consumer rig, workstation, converted NAS. Calibrating now. Worried about toasting my 20A circuit and also about heat dissipation and finally about long-term fan noise irritating my cat, so workstation cards likely to be throttled Bonus: catpic.twitter.com/w7b8KE2Rxi
