For quad GPU config you should look at dev box type option. It's $8,750 for machine with 4 1080Ti, 64GB of RAM, and 1TB SATA SSD. Quite a steep margin if you ask me, considering a 128GB RAM machine that you build yourself would cost you at most $5,700 (taxes included) if you get everything from Amazon, and probably under $5k if you're willing to shop around a little.
16.5K seems pretty reasonable for 8x 1080ti with a bit of profit for building it, but unreasonable for only 4x 1080ti. My home-built 4x1080ti box (without quite enough PCIe bandwidth, admittedly) is under $6k. I'm assuming/hoping there's an error there. :)

Oh, also - if I want a quote on both the big server and the little workstation I have to enter my contact info twice? Not particularly customer-friendly.
