Can I stick it in the corner of the office? Serious question.

Is your office a data center?

Yes.

Realistically you can also build a server with 8 RTX 3090 and put in in colo in a datacenter. That would technically violate the license, but nobody is going to go after you for that. What Nvidia wants to prevent is hosting providers/IaaS renting out servers with consumer GPUs.
