Seems interesting. I wonder what the limitations are? IIRC there's an Nforce chipset for multi-CPU Opteron setups that can have as many PCI-E lanes as the motherboard manufacturer wants to put chipsets on the board, without any ugly hacks. I'd prefer something that doesn't require a ton of gentle tweaking and coaxing to work right.

Wow....Intel Prescott processor 4 GPU's. You ain't kidding about the heater. Imagine the power requirements. How will you cool that case?? I guess this is good news for people who have 1920x1200 monitors and like highest quality w/ max AA-AF in their games

edit -

Actually, it would be cool to put 4 GPU's in there (non-SLI'd) and completely surround yourself with 8 2405's
