Has anyone built a machine around the new Asus P6T7 WS SuperComputer CUDA Motherboard? It's designed specifically for CUDA machines with 7 PCI-E x16 slots and room for up to 4 double slot CUDA cards such as the GTX 200 series. I have the WS Revolution board now and it's worked very well, but I think this board would allow me to add a 4th card. I'm just wondering if anyone has any experience with it yet. I'm also wondering if it'd be worth the cost just to add one more card.

Here's the link to the board... let me know what you guys think.

From reading their info it says it can only handle 3 graphics cards and suggests the 4th should be a quadro. They cost $750 AUD, so I wouldn't be rushing out to buy one soon.

I think the P6T deluxe would be better as it will give 3 PCIe slots at x16 speed and you could still use 3 cards without the price tag.

You could send a private message to HydroPower as he managed to get 4 x GTX295's working in a single machine. He described it in this message thread.
