Hi,

 I have 2 questions to ask:

1. Do i have to use two mobo to run 10 gpu's?
2. If i would have to use more than one mobo, how do i connect them with a monitor?

Any pointers will be much appreciated.

You will need 2 motherboards as the most any can currently hold is 6. Also windows only supports up to 4 graphics cards so you would need to run linux to have more and finally you cant connect 2 seperate computers to 1 monitor as far as I am aware.

I have heard the limit per motherboard is 8.  I can confirm for sure that you can run six, in windows 7 with cgminer.  Each motherboard doesn't need connected to a monitor you can use vnc to connect to it from another machine.  If you feel you absoutly need to connect them to a monitor, you can use a hdmi switch(they have them at my local walmart) or a kvm to switch one set of keboard, monitor and mouse between multiple pcs.
