Ridiculously overpriced. I don't know what type of "client" would blow $14k on 8 1080tis, especially considering in 6-8 weeks we will be talking about Pascal, not Volta. If someone was inclined to throw this much money at something like this, they could pick up one of these for under $5000:

Or buy a $200 server case and add 4 Titan V's for the same price
that's all good and well - but how do you scale that out to deliver 200 units a month fella? also warranty is an issue for corporate clients, they would rather front load Cap ex and have a lower Op ex moving forwards.
you are aware how difficult it is to purchase 50 x 1080ti's right now - never mind 1600
