Help review my PC workstation build list, please and thanks.

Nice. Add beer and pizza, that's pretty much a textbook perfect LAN party.

Ahaha, it was, except modernized for this age. Beer and Pizza and chicken poppers were present. So was the mongolian beef, sushi and anime! Yum yum! Plus, home made chinese tea eggs:

Oh, and I found out what was wrong with the initial build mobo / GPU combination. For motherboards, slot number 3 who is off color (black instead of all reds in this case) means using that slot disables the other slots. It is a PCIe configuration issue. If I had all 2 slot GPU's , I could fit them in slots 1 2 4 and 5 and it'd work fine. Small potential to be bandwidth starved, but unlikely as there's a few factors:

1) The motherboard has a PLX chip, thus enabling 8x lanes spread all around

2) Video cards are still not bandwidth starved except in the most extreme of cases

3) Most of the data passes through the Crossfire or SLI bridges when in SLI/CF mode.

I do see occasional microstutter, and I'd rather have an Nvidia card if it were purely for gaming, but since I want it to mine to pay for itself, it is mining quite nicely.
