for 6 x 580 cards you dont need anywhere close to 2200w of power.
The most efficient and cost effective way to power that rig would be a single 1600w plat+ rated psu (available from parrallelminer) + 180w atx pico adapter.
1 breakout board + 12 pci-e cables to power the cards.

I sold the project to my parents, we're going 50-50 on this.
It mihjt not seem big to you but for me, it's a large scale up. Only prior experience (from 7 days ago!) I have is my 6 x RX 580 rig.
I'll probably go for the Asus Z270-A again and use an SSD this time. Maybe a bit more RAM and a less shitty CPU because it's pretty laggy and I'd like to plot BURST with the thing.
Other than that, I'm open to suggestions. Whattomine is quoting 2280W for the algorithms that are interesting, do you agree? In that case, maybe I'll go 1 x ATX + 2 x serveur PSU with breakout board?
