Here's the workstation thread I started in the intel motherboard area.

Asustek product link:

Six GPU2 clients under one hood being fed with an i7 processor.

True @ x16 3-Way SLI™ in slots 1, 3 and 5 when slots 2 and 4 are not occupied

I don't care about SLI but the three full bandwidth slots is real nice for some future proofing.

I should be able to sub this monster for one of my 2 1500W electric space heaters LOL

If you are looking for a pure GPU folding platform, wouldn't the MSI K9A2 Platinum be a better option due to the spacing of the 4 PCIe slots allowing the installation of four GX2's or GTX 295's where watercooling is a option if desired. That is assuming a watercooling option is soon to be available for the GTX 295 in a similar design to the current ones availabe for the GX2.
