[QUOTE=Roast Beast;20033163]Hardcore computers doesn't make motherboards.[/QUOTE] Nor do Tiny okay. Tiny went bust because of this okay?
So, 2 CPUs, up to 7GPUs, up to 8 HDDs (assuming no DVD drives). Only one case can contain everything needed to operate something like this.

Alright, so out of boredom I made a little parts-list for what might be the ultimate machine (with parts available today) that can be made with this motherboard. I might be missing some bits so be sure to give feed-back but this was mostly for shits and giggles. MountainMods Ascension CYO case: Duality Back Panel +$50.00 Black Wrinkle Finish + $50.00 720 Quad Front Panel + $0.00 Big Window Side Panel + $10.00 Triple-Quad Side Panel + $10.00 Triple Original Top Panel + $10.00 Total: $489.99 eVGA W555 Motherboard - estimated $750 7x eVGA GTX295 Co-op Hydro Copper - $5039.93 7x OCz Colossus series 1TB SATA II drives - $26,593 Pioneer Black Blu-Ray burner SATA - $199.99 2x Intel Xeon W5590 Nehalem 3.33GHz LGA 1266 130 W - $3379.98 12x Mushkin Ehanced 4GB DDR3 1333 SDRAM - $2639.88 4x PC Power and Cooling T12W 1200W PSU - $1999.96 2x DangerDen MC-TDX Waterblock - $119.90 5x DangerDen DD12V-D5 Variable Speed Pump - $457.25 5x DangerDen Black Ice GTX360 Radiator - $904.75 MPC-Universal Chipset Block $38.50 5x DangerDen RAD-Reservoir $214.75 10 feet of Tygon tubing $29.95 2x CTR-CD10BK Pump & Fan Speed Controller, Black $179.98 5x SEN-AP005PB Coolant Temperature Sensor, Brass $129.90 28x Noctua NF-S12B 120mm fans $671.72 Total cost: [B]$41,839.47!!! [/B]So with this set-up, there'd be 5 separate cooling loops: One for both CPUs/Chipset, 3 with 2 GPUs, and one with 1 GPU, which could have other bits added on if you felt like cooling more stuff. A real plumbing nightmare! :v: But with a total of [I][B]14 GPUs[/B][/I], this thing would kick ass at Folding@Home. (and who knows? Maybe SLi will support such a rig in the future)
4 1200W PSUs... it'd probably burn out the wiring of whatever room you put it in :v:
