Any interest in a 4xPCIe motherboard?

Have this listed in the FS/FT forum but thought I might have better luck in here. I'll sell it cheaper because it will be going to a good cause. 😉

Asus X38 with 4GB G.Skill DDR3

I'll take $250 shipped if anyone in here is interested. That's $20 below my cost even after the MS cashback comes through. My GF yelled at me for heating up the spare bedroom too much. 😱 So this thing's gotta go.

Could even add a couple of 8800GT/8800GS/9600GSO cards if you're interested.

Well, thats probably a good deal, but I found a 4 x PCI-E mb new (open box) for $172. I almost got it, Now saving for I7.

How much for a pair of 8800 GT cards ? and what speed and cooling solution ? I got 2 720 mhz Akimbo cooling evga cords for $104 each. I love them. I can get more...

Unfortunately I've only got one 8800GT and it's an older 256MB model (which doesn't affect F@H performance, but anyway). Gigabyte model with aftermarket cooler (factory installed) clocked at 700MHz.

And note the $250 includes both the P5E64 and 4GB G.Skill DDR3. You could always use one stick on that board and another on your i7 build for triple channel...

could you please list your f@h compatible vga cards? Do you ship to Europe?

Yea, it's not cold enough to be heating up rooms with folding boxes here in Louisiana. Almost, but not quite. Mark, where did you find the open box board? I'm interested.

Just FWI mine was new, is now "open box" but will include all accessories & is completely functional & stable (been folding on it with three cards for about two weeks now--my GTS covers two slots so I cannot mount a fourth card).

It figures. I bought this , and now they are offering it with a $20 rebate.
I paid $150 + ship. Haven't built it yet, planning on another short vacation. I'll do it when I get back. Gonna shut my crunchers down too.

That board would be awesome if it had onboard video. It would make a perfect hard drive farmer. It would support 4 of the new Adaptec cards. Besides the point for DC, but still cool.
