Most Air-cooled cards are dual slot, but with a watercooling they are 1 slot!

well, not exactly, You still need to do some hardware modding in order to get rid of brackets & operating out some connectors, that for some is scary to think of =DDD

I know, it´s damned scary. And a lot of work, too.
But once it´s done, you will never switch back to aircooling!
i guess for 6 GPU´s you should count $ 1000 - $ 1200

Yes. Listen to Glimpse.

If you are ready to go with 8x780 ti (=12x780ti on air) water-cooled, overclocked safely, inaudible (about 15dB), in one chassis there is one solution...

You can but you'll never want to

You are damned right! the gtx 780 Ti has the DVI connectors on top of each other.
On my Cards the sit side by side...which makes them single slot with watercooling

if You really looking to build 6+ GPU rig or even multiple of them,
miners are the way to look for inspiration:
or even bigger beast (concept by some Guy)
otherwise, modding & water-cooling is unavoidable,
but as Smicha noted - You can get more perfoance,
as water-cooling gives You some advantage.

And you can still water-cool it for less noise...

I've seen Guys modding Titans to SingleSlot, but You need to have balls for that.
Actually always wanted to build a monster on something like ASUS P6T7 or new ASUS X99-E WS
Stuffed with those modified into SingleSlot (Tatans/780s) - under water that beast should be insanely powerful..

..though I don't need that much of power for now nor have spare to build for fun =)
but would be more than happy to help someOne if needed =)

p.s. here's how SS modes Titan looks like:

All right:

2x GIGABYTE - 500$
http://www.gigabyte.com/products/produc ... id=5123#ov
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... -_-Product

(asus rampage IV is too expensive - I already built one with 4xtitans on this mobo, and currently I have asus ws, but believe me - gigabyte gives more stable voltage and if I were to get new one I'd go with gigabyte)


8x EK waterblocks - 800eur
4x D5 pump - 240 eur
2x dual top - 120 eur
3x 560 rad - 300 eur
2x 1500W power supply ...
fittings
tubing
fans

So if I went with the ASUS X99-E WS
6 x 780ti and water cooled them into a single slot configuration what case would you use?

And would a single 1600w PSU handle all that?

I should also note that this build if possible needs to come in below $7000 USD

Also your guys passion for building insane machine is awesome!
