Thats all

Phenomenologica · 4 Jun 2011 at 17:41

...six?

Marvin · 4 Jun 2011 at 18:18

And I thought the Lian Li cases with 11 or 12 slots were over the top...

Guitarman0 · 4 Jun 2011 at 18:29

Hahaha that is massive!

Frenzy · 4 Jun 2011 at 20:49

lol! I didnt realise you could sli more than 4 cards? Sextosli good marketing right there...

stulid · 4 Jun 2011 at 20:57

I dont think you can, I think they are just showing off that you can fit that many cards and still leave a single space between them, unlike other cases where you have to fit them next to each other.

I've not seen a board that can hold that many cards before. And noticed they weren't sat in a motherboard in that vid.

Maybe there are plans for the future that we don't know about yet.

All of a sudden my ATCS840 feels inadequate.

It says in the description somewhere that they're run off ribbon cables, if I recall.

Apem · 4 Jun 2011 at 21:40

yes it does and you can see the ribbon cable

wilko49 · 4 Jun 2011 at 22:48

I thought those ribbon cables didn't work for PCIE due to the additional latency... guess it's not a problem! I'm surprised it hasn't been done before, especially with previous pushes into making cases with separated heat-zones. Looking forward to seeing more details of this case...

SilverStone is able to achieve this feat by introducing a ribbon cable that runs from the motherboard to another area of the case.

An impressive idea... Those cards aren't in SLi though are they (no bridge ribbons) they're just all sitting there doing their own thing... I bet THAT can max Crysis!!!!!!!

blitzyuk · 5 Jun 2011 at 03:25

Well i dont think you have to run those cards in sli as he said if you dont want to use all of them then you can remove some and change the back plate. I can't believe it uses 2 psu's and is also capable of having quad cpu motherboards in. Just think how good this wouldd be for folding never mind gaming. I bet it wont be cheap either. Will have to keep an eye out next year.

Risers have been about since the dawn of expansion cards

Yep - seen many builds using PCIe ribbons - someone recently did one with an HTPC (can't remember his name though...) and I've got a pic here of a wall-mounted PC using a ribbon for the GPU

Dropbox isn't working for some reason but here's the pic

That would have looked 10x better if he had routed the cables behind the wall mount. But a cool idea regardless!

Holdon Tight · 7 Jun 2011 at 16:39

Crazy, crazy, crazy. Still want it tho' More powerrrrrrr!!!

I always thought that too - looks a bit messy doesn't it... like you say though, it is a cool idea

It's actually 2x GTX 580 and 4x GTX 480, still cool none the less though
