GPU render node

[Pesky Ngon]

trying to make render nodes for 3d GPU rendering with good price to performance. im struggling to find motherboards that have 4/5 pcie 16x slots for a good price. a lot of the ones i find have dozens on features i dont need. basically the only thing i need is: as many 16x or 8x pcie slots as possible, with as many pcie lanes as possible. 

 

a board with 3 pcie16x slots is <£50, whereas boards with 4+ pcie slots are >£100. 

 

TLDR; can someone please recommend the cheapest board that has 4+ pcie 16x slots?

Boards with 4+ PCIe slots are non-standard because no general consumer needs 4 PCIe x16 slots, which is why they tend to be much more expensive. You might be able to find a used X99 motherboard and an i7-5820K on Ebay that will support more cards.
