I'm sure by now we've all seen the announcement of the X4 SLI mobo and GTX285 Classified. Someone on another forum put together a list of his dream computer, which included that mobo with x4 cards in a CM Cosmos case. Now, looking at that case, it wouldn't fit all that hardware. Looking over all the other popular full tower cases, I couldn't find one that would accommodate such hardware.

Who is this supposed to be marketed too? My first impression was the super rich gamer, who can throw around money on just having the best for no reason, but it wouldn't even fit in a case. Just the benching community, who don't even both with cases? The whole idea just seems like it's going to a rather small niche to even put out.

Edit: A minute after submitting this post, one case popped into my head which would accommodate this setup. The MountainMod cases, which could also serve as a playpen for a newborn baby, could probably fit all this.

There is a list of 4 or 5 somewhere, don't have time right now to find it for you.

But this board is for a bencher that needs a board that can do 4 cards with out it being a PITA (CFX or SLI)
Or a Gamer that has to have the best GPU set up money can buy.

Myself, I want one :D

I found a post by nekrosoft13 over at nvnews.net :

The following cases have 10 slots or more to fit 4 GTX 285 cards for 4-Way SLI.
