Hi, there are a few boards with 4-7 PCIe slots, the problem is to get single slot cards.
This is only possible with water cooling but if you use 4 cards (Titan) it is possible with air cooling.

There are some server boards from supermicro for 4 or more GPU but there are also super expensive.

Some here have 4 or more cards may one jump in, cheers, mib.

go with my setup
dual xeons 4 Titans (the picture show 4 GTX680 but 2 weeks later I upgraded the rig with 4 Titans)
the case is fantastic
you can fit how many ssd disks as you want
the default air cooling is not good as the TJ11 (gpu vertical position is better) but you can add more fans

Thank you for the replies,

I have found some 4xpci cards, but I don't know if it is possible to put 4xtitan. Is the place between 2 pci port always the same? how can I know if it is ok for the titan?

mib2berlin : very cool motherboard, it means that, without temperature problems, I can put 7xtitans in it???

gabrielefx : Impressive system, but a little bit expensive for now. Maybe for the next job. ;)
