Never come across them before. Why don't you build your PC yourself?

Origin PC are gaming computers, the company was founded by former Alienware employees.

While you will be able to run BOINC & Seti on it, the systems are specifically setup with 3D heavy gaming in mind.

The builds listed on the Maingear page you linked looked the most appealing to me also. Workstation level construction a plus for crunching.

OK, that makes more sense since that is an X-series processor. Your previous post said you were getting an i9-9900 which I assumed you just dropped the K from the model name end. That is a socket 1151 processor to be use only in 300 series chipset motherboards.

Your i9-9980 XE is a socket 2066 to be used in an X299 chipset motherboard. That board has only three full length PCIE slots. So I don't know how your builder is going to fit four RTX 2080 Ti cards.

I think you should ask them. I only see two three ASUS boards that have four usable slots for four cards. The ROG RAMPAGE VI EXTREME and the ROG RAMPAGE VI APEX.

[Edit] Realized since all four 2080 Ti's are going to be I assume custom water blocked and ostensibly, one card slot wide, the PRIME X299-DELUXE would also be a candidate.
