NVIDIA's EULA specifically forbids using consumer GPUs for data-center -like computation purposes. Even if that wasn't an issue, there are a number of issues with both providing power to multiple consumer GPUs and just fitting them into a case/chassis, as they vary in their physical sizes - often being 1.5-2x in width compared to the similar level enterprise GPU.

> No Datacenter Deployment. The SOFTWARE is not licensed for datacenter deployment, except that blockchain processing in a datacenter is permitted.

It's this clause.
