Theoretically 5 graphics cards (dual slot), but this would require some raisers.
I'll go with 4 - quick and easy.

Just installed 560 rad with low rpm be quiet fans. Waiting for 4x120 rad. There is also additional room for 360 rad on the other side at the bottom and another 360 in front. And all of these rads may be as thick as you want - alpha cool monsta 80mm fits easily. This case is amazing. Worth every single penny put into it.

SO my goal is to set all gpus at stock volts 1.2V (without uploading modified bios) and set their clocks to 1200-1250 on core and 7000 on memory. Temps should not exceed 40C under full load and fans shall not be louder than 15-16db. This will give me power of 6 titans on air and silence.

evil plan, Smicha!!!

just a quick question: have You order this from US or there is some dealer for case labs in Europe? how much the shipping was (to Poland I guess)?

Bought it in Poland - the guy sold it via auction portal, and it was a bargain - this configuration costs about 700$ at case-labs store and that is what I payed (and received polish invoice, so the final cost went down to about 500$ after deductions). As you may already know shipment to Europe is about 300$ + some duties (8-10%) and this is pushing the price very very high.

If you are interested I found a company that ships to Europe (Poland especially) for about 50$ for large cargo but a package must be delivered to their headquarter (also California) from case-labs. So the shipment from case-labs to their company must be organized separately (or by case-labs).

I have a bit different case in mind for around that price tag that I would love to get my hands on (as I doubt I ever go that crazy with rads, but was always curious where to get these cases as I help to do some builds for my friends =). Thanks for info! I'l drop a line if i find a need, Smicha!

Right :) But in standard case this would not be possible. Anyway - good to see such solutions :)

it's all the tricks of marketers. Why pay for water - "gold" - in the form of water cooling or the fear of looking at the temperature of 100 with a standard connection = Video and fry eggs on them This is the easiest way to avoid paying extra money

.... sorry for my incorrect English

that was nice (though I dislike colored LED fans, but..=) it's seems a practical addition!

by Goldisart - the best deal from water cooling is that You can get addition performance overclocking the cards & still run at lower temps then stock =) this influences stability & longevity, especially if You're running You rig 24/7. Watercooling & OC is not for everyone, but for those who value that extra performance - form majority it makes little or no sense at all =)
