Put them in a Mother board that has 4 PCI-E slots, and use 4 GPU2 clients.

This is pretty cool... too bad I don't have any extra hardware or cash. Hopefully in the future I can pitch in

I can't wait until I can get a folding rig up.

It hurts knowing I have to spend $300 on speakers first

But I'm getting them for a friend and he needs to upgrade from his P4 so I guess it's all to SOME good cause in the end.

Gibson, why did you pick that power supply?

Aren't 500w Earthwatts frequently ~$50?

Since this is the first 4x GPU folding rig I have put together, I wanted to make sure that the PSU would do the trick. Once I get this rig put together, and test exactly how much watts is required, then I will look into getting the Earthwatt for the next build. The NeoPower's ratings looked really good.

I have the Neo 650 in my E7200 Build and prior to that it powered my main rig, the quality of the Neo's is pretty impressive - also have a good wieght to them

Just curious, do you have a HSF since that CPU is OEM?

PM sent also.

I just thought of that also. I have like 8 stock h/s's, so I thought " oh well, OEM is fine, I have plenty of h/s's". LOL, then I remembered they are all intel socket 775! Luckily I do have a Zalman 9500 with the AMD brackets still. It's going to be a waste though, the rig isn't going to be o/c'ed at all.
