    That case is pretty serious. Never saw anything like that before, fan wise. On the motherboard you listed, is that one I can add up to four or more video cards to? I was trying to select parts for a system on the cyberpowerpc.com site (couldn't find that particular motherboard) but used a P55 board, keep getting a "motherboard doesn't support 3 vid cards" message. What are there 4 video card boards I need to see? Was that gigabyte board one that wold fit 4 cards?
    Thanks guys

  3. Can't you make a simple decision to purchase a computer without starting a thread on the subject. What happens when you eventually want to make a trade - another thread?

  4. Stop looking in the cheap section. There are LOTS of mobos with 3-4 PCIEx16 slots... some even have SIX!

    Look for an X58 in the Intel line, and 890 in the AMD line.

  7. No Hard drive(s) - No Shipping - No warranty and you have to configure, support etc. You can also get 2 4port cards instead of 4 2 port cards. http://www.shop.emcworkstations.com/FirePro-2450-PCIe-x16-VID2450x16.htm

  10. 4 $175 cards or 2 $300 cards.

    I have a 4 display system from EMC that I use for trading and video editing. Never had a hiccup. To each his own... LOL
