This one has room for 6 cards.  Could be useful for 6x 5970 or 6x 6990 in x64 linux

Then I stand corrected.  6x 7970 with 1x 5970

The Gigabyte board would be better since it has SATA auxiliary power.  Not sure why MSI negated that from their Z77 line.

Just because there it can theoretically accept 8 GPU doesn't mean it actually will. 8 GPU limitation is the AMD driver limit, the motherboard could hit that limitation before that.
