Hi Adam, You 2 routes, DIY/MOD or getting a SERVER chassis (more expensive).
SERVER https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DhZJ66l82r8&feature=youtu.be If you are any good at building/modding computers, than you can try buidling one yourself with the help of geeks from the internerds.. http://dabarti.com/vfx/building-4xgpu-rack-mount-rendering-node/ One other options is to ask someone like Tom Glimps to build you one: https://twitter.com/tomglimps/status/710959378799730688 This stuff is watercooled and cards are modded, so not trivial. I would recommend you could ask on the otoy forum, and join the octane facebook page. Good luck, and keep us updated!
