That mobo is fucking huge. It probably can't even fit in quite a few full tower cases. What is actually quite exciting about it is that it may be able to implement Core i7 processors along with the Xeon counterpart. http://www.techpowerup.com/113881/Core_i7_Dual-Socket_Operation_Possible_.html    OC'd core i7's in tandem? Hell yeah. There's also enough room on there for Quad SLI/Quadfire and a PhysX card to boot. "

Dear god... that puts my Striker Extreme to shame.

You're going to need to own your own power plant, though. Seriously, I don't even think there's a consumer-level PSU that could support all that. Also...
 

" EVGA has confirmed that it is larger than either the E-ATX or SSI standards... "

No case for it, either. I have to wonder how a project like this even gets funding. There's a lot of incredible engineering going on here, but I can't imagine them producing or selling many of these. It's not exactly a server machine, so that lumps it into the consumer workstation market, where it is probably far too expensive to even think about. "

*sigh . . . . 
 
I'm still rocking a P4 3.2ghz hyperthreaded cpu..., along with a ATI X1300 ... regular PCI slot...

" Dear god... that puts my Striker Extreme to shame. "

" @Geno: Someone call Antec and get them to build a new Skeleton case!  And yeah, I didn't think about the dual power supply solution immediately. Also, isn't 4-way SLI/Crossfire the max right now, anyway? And even that's got pretty spotty support. "

The perfect example of overkill.

How much. I don't feel like looking.

" How much. I don't feel like looking. "

Ho-ly shit. 
 
So many slots.

Looks pretty.

That things beastly.

*sniff* It's so beautiful....

Mother Mary...that beast is a beauty. I can't even fathom how much it must cost.

WOW

Lovely board but keeping that thing cooled would be a nightmare.

" Lovely board but keeping that thing cooled would be a nightmare. "

Lmao all thought it would be pretty awesome, you can't really fit in it 7 video cards. 
 
The max SLi you can do right now is quad,and besides, if you've got money for this, you're probably getting GTX260s and up, which are all sual-slot coolers. Therefore you can technically max out this board at Quad-SLi. 
 
However don't get me wrong, that's still plenty beast.

Wow it looks pretty neat alright. Have no clue what any of this means though. Not really that technical.

Awesome Mobo. But the 7 PCIE slots can have a gfx card in all of them if they are Dual Slot.
 
Look up trubritar's videos on youtube, he has it running with 4 5870s in it :D

Ah, don't we all.

Talk about overkill. Should last a while though if you ever do get one.

uh... are you sure that windows 7 can even handle all that hardware without bugging out.

Nifty. You put the dishes in those slots right? Are there holes in the bottom for the drippage? This is going to turn the world of dish drying on it's head!

Actually, I think there is, I'm pretty sure that the Corsair 800D can fit this. "

Shit just got real...

Holy balls. That's like a unicorn.

It's probally for quad sli, then the rest of the pci express slots are for cuda so you can use it for physics.

Holy...just holy fucking crap. I need a job. NOW.

I want to lick that mobo :-(

" This shall go into my next computer. *makes note of this* "

Saw this in my Custom PC issue, board is a beast. But realistically I'd never need such power. Still... just look at it..... look!!! Insane!

haha overkill for sure.

Meh, it will be out-dated six months after you buy it. ;-p
