7 watercooled GTX285s; 2 six-core Xeon processors; 48GB DDR3 RAM... and an 80GB IDE hard drive.
Result :D
2 x Xeon W5590
12 sticks of DDR3 ECC RAM
Done!
EDIT: Damn you Jim, daaamn you!
Except by the looks of things you can't fit 7 graphics cards if they're thicker than a £2 coin, so that might throw a spanner into the works.
Strange design in my opinion... I would've thought they'd have 2 double-slot PCI-E slots and then fill the rest of the space with more of them, but I guess 5 PCI-E slots isn't as shocking as 7.
Prolly still not get over 60fps in Crysis.
nah, 7 watercooled GTX295 (single board design)!Quote:

Not just epeen.....some of us have a use for lots of PCI-E....and don't forget can only use every-other slot if you want them at full speed. Normally populating adjacent slots will cause both to run at half speed.
According to bittech, it's a nice touch as ma ny overclockers find IDE drives more stable than SATA when pushing overclocks to the extreme *shrug*Quote:
