Prior-gen Epyc boards show up on eBay from time to time, often as CPU+mono bundles from Chinese datacenters that are upgrading to latest gen. These can be had for a deal, if they’re still available, and would provide PCIe lanes for days.

Yeah, forgot to mention Threadripper as well for lots of PCIe lanes. Here is one that has 4 x16 slots. And, note, I am not endorsing that specific listing. I did very minimal research on that listing, just using it as an example.

  I see. I must be doing something wrong because the only ones I found were over $1000 on eBay. Do you have any tips/favoured listings?

    All I did for that one was search “Threadripper” and look at the pictures for ones with 4x x16 slots that were not hella expensive.
    
    There are technically filters for that, but, I don’t trust people to list their things correctly.
