will the power supply safely take 2x 480s under load?
Sure will, these 1200W Dark Powers are rated up to 1500W.

first thing i do if i won the lottery was make a system like. But you beat me to it. Now im going to slowly walk away into the corner and rot.
In fact if i won the lottery i would just buy a mac desktop pc and make them fit it all for me. I would like to see how there systems look from the inside with dual Xeon 5670`s. And 4 210gts in SLI. and 64gig ram (not to sure about what spec the ram is)
I would probably buy a 2nd one, a more hard core extreme one from OCUK and have it watercooled etcetc and possibly have it needing 2 1500 watt powersupplys.
Quick question. Do you HAVE to have 2 processors in these motherboards?

As the Xeons are more server orientated than the desktop i7s etc, do they overclock well?

Will be interesting seeing some gaming benchmarks and to weigh the price/cost up against an i7 build.

Don't need to tell me my dual w5580 (3.2ghz, 3.33ghz with turbo) were insane, but the motherboard was a load of tosh, hence why I was waiting for this board! But like you mentioned earlier, that system and my skulltrail were far too much for gaming I was just being greedy
hi guys here is the CPU based work that I managed to squeeze in today.
4ghz prime [need a bigger screen!!!]
note: cpu core voltage was at 1.275v but cpuz was out of date so reading it wrong.

the blisteringly fast Wprime 32m & 1024m results.
the chips would push a little further with more volts but i dont want to run the risk of damaging them as we dont have replacements.
4.3 is the max i have been able to benchmark at without going above 1.325v but the board doesnt seem to like me after that
oh well
4th in the world [fastest in Europe]
3rd in the world with 2X CPU and 7th overall [2nd fastest in Europe]
ignore the first CPUz readout, the max multi is 22.
vantage run tomorrow maybe

ohmyhod.
You should point the client here to show him how jealous he's making everybody
He's more than aware of the thread. Very impressive results, makes me want one badly. I think I speak for everyone here though.
