    Given the general rubbishness of SLI/CrossFire support in games the best use for this motherboard will be a monster folding rig running the bigadv CPU client and mulitple GPU clients.

    More to the point, does someone want to add up how much power it'd use??? I'd be able to heat my flat with that at 100%...

    Not as far as I know, I think EVGA has partnered up with a few companies to make them instead. Not that you'll need them if you've already got a big case and suitably-equiped PSU.

    Come on EVGA, get your fingers out! :p

    It's easier to drool over something we can actually buy than a concept :(

    Well it certainly help me as I do alot of 3d work in my spare time and some more complex scenes and models take time on a standard consumer CPU, but I have worked on Xeons and they are beasts. I just wish I could afford a system like this lol, now where is my lottery ticket?
