hi all this is a bit of a hypothetical question but has had me wondering
were someone to build a quad sli setup how would/could they get at the unused pci slots covered by the graphic cards? for a sound card, raid card and pci ssd
say for example (noob alert: i have no idea if this would even work but please don't freak out i have no intention of building this)
lets say we get ourselves:
evga sr-x dual socket (socket 2011) motherboard [270-se-w888-kr]
along with four of these
evga geforce gtx 680 classified 4096mb gddr5 pci-e
throw in one of these
asus rog xonar phoebus 7.1 pci-e soundcard
along with
ocz revodrive3 max iops 240gb pci-e ssd
could that even be done?
perhaps some kind of doublewide case with something like PCI Express X16 flexible riser card
to move the 680s away from the mobo so as to have space for the other cards
does a case like this even exist? or is this a job for someone with the skills to make their own case?
i recall a dutch research team did something similar a few years back bout not sure what the story is with what i describe above
again this is just me wondering not considering building anything of this nature
cheers
