Title: Looking for decent motherboard in stock to run 5-8 cards Post by: Cablesaurus on June 05, 2011, 06:00:29 PM Filtering on Newegg is a bit wonky for this.
I'm looking for a board with a total of 5-8 PCIe slots of any size and am trying to judge cost effectiveness. I know a lot have gone out of stock on eBay, is anyone up on some decent choices in stock?

Gaming would not be advisable with this though... Title: Re: Looking for decent motherboard in stock to run 5-8 cards Post by: Thor on June 05, 2011, 06:35:35 PM pm sent.

When it comes to mounting, check out the Chassis in my thread. Title: Re: Looking for decent motherboard in stock to run 5-8 cards Post by: Meatball on June 05, 2011, 09:09:28 PM That chassis looks awesome, but bit out of my price range. Any thoughts on selling plans for the chassis for folks that want to DiY?
