Each block is stacked on top of the previous one. Adding another block to the top makes all lower blocks more difficult to remove: there is more "weight" above each block. A transaction in a block 6 blocks deep (6 confirmations) will be very difficult to remove.

Biostar TB85 or Biostar TB250-BTC are plug and play ofr 6 GPU systems, but they sell out fast whenever they come in stock. I can still find them, but they are marked up allot. The Asrock H81 Pro BTC and it's cousins (can't recall exact names) are also designed for mining with 6 GPUs, but they are even harder to find now. If you search these forums you will find some other, non mining specific motherboards that will work with 6 or more GPUs if you do the right tweaks etc. Don't buy any motherboards that are not confirmed to be working with 6 GPUs, because they probably will not work and will lead to allot of frustration.
