what is that thing in the middle? And why only connectors on one card?

*edit, wait timeout. that thing is just a dedicated videocard box!

With the RAM on the middle board and the six cards, it looks like an implementation of nVIDIA's Tesla CUDA CGPU Supercomputing Systems in a standalone server.

Hot damn!!!

If that was THE desktop gaming system that would run Crysis at 2560x1600 on Very High with 8xAA and 16AF.....
I would totally shit my drawers and go buy a console.

Looks pretty cool though.

I honestly can't tell what are those cards.

Can somebody enlighten me? That's scary.

This is where the pic is from:
http://anandtech.com/weblog/showpost.aspx?i=355

Tycrid Platform Technologies, Inc. partnered with CoolIT to develop a GPU cooling system for the system?s six NVIDIA 8800GTS 640MB cards. Depending upon the configuration, the system is capable of 1.5 to 3 TFLOPS.

Afterthought as to the "SLi" part of the OP: No SLi bridges... but we all know what you're getting at.
Although I've heard you can run sli on intel chipsets using hacked drivers. I dont know if those setups use bridges or not.

Tesla FTW. It would probably suck at gaming if you could get it running in XP :)

I think it has tremendous potential for (maybe) accelerating video encoding, or doing folding / SETI stuff?

its tesla and there are no SLI bridges... so you only get ONE video card rending an image, the rest are just doing math.

At the top is the (obvious) 1200W PSU by TT, the middle is the cooling solution by CoolIT (watercooling for the video cards). The bottom... I dunno, probley something server related (control panel, monitoring... I'm sure someone else knows/has a better guess). But no, not 3 PSU's.

Hey guys, just came across this thread recently so I figured I'd chime in.

I am the person that put this rig together. It was designed from the ground up to be an HPC solution, rather than a gaming platform, so with the latest NVIDIA GPUs, we can use it for general purpose computing applications. Without SLI, we can actually utilize all the memory on all of the GPUs for use in applications.

The picture you guys see there is our prototype system where we used 6 GeForce 8800 GTS cards with 640MB each. Yes, there is only 1 power supply. The other boxes in the front are CoolIT's radiator boxes. We have 3 of them in there. One for the top 3 GPUs, one for the 2 Xeon quad core CPUs, and one for the bottom 3 GPUs.

I just got my 6 Tesla GPUs recently so I'm just in the process of setting those up and testing them out.
