Hire people to buy 1080 in retail. This problem is solvable easily.

It's not about getting the cards (though supplies are limited because of cryptocurrency mining, but you could buy Titan V's off the shelf in batches of 2). It's about whether or not you're big enough of a target for Nvidia's lawyers if you violate the agreement and actually build a datacenter out with them.

It's hard to find 1080[ti]+ in retail. Whenever they become available they sell out pretty quickly.
