Hello everyone,
I'm searching for a 2U formfacor chassis with a motherboard capable of supporting eight double-width GPUs simultaneously. Additionally, I need four hot-swap PCIe Gen 4 NVMe/SATA bays and another four SATA bays. If anyone has information about a system that meets these specifications, please share it. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Which GPU should you select? The 2U chassis won't accommodate a full-height GPU. Moreover, there are no 2U Motherboards or cases available that feature 16 slot widths aligned together, effectively occupying the entire rack width—leaving no space for the PSU or other motherboard connections. Your request isn't feasible.

Not achievable with any 2U chassis I've seen. Usually, only two double-wide cards fit since the PCIe slots need to be turned.

It's likely you'll locate a 4 or 5U chassis, while a 2U is not available.

What is the intention behind this setup (which isn't feasible)?
What is its intended purpose?

OP requires a 4U chassis as a baseline. A 2U might handle two units if positioned differently and the airflow was pre-designed for it.

Hello, thank you for your message. I found a Gigabyte 2U chassis that accommodates 8 GPUs, specifically the Gigabyte G292-280 model.

The $9,000 MSRP server seems to be intended for something specific, but we're mainly focused on home consumer devices.
