hahaha I glad that you like, very few people like my computer setup
maybe, I give some idea to silverstone to make the case like mine.
placing gpu hanging on the outside

tonycho, very cool setup 
I like.

I like.
Looks nice. What iphone app is it? Measures noise?
Its smilar to my setup except you have three cards more, hehe. 1,5KW PSU is heavy...how does it perform if you idle and do modelling for example when three cards are not needed?
Do the graphic cards need power then or can it turned off and only on for renderjobs?
Would be nice if you have some answers. I guess its nice for games too.

Hi,
ASUS says on its website that on the P6T7, one of the four CUDA graphic cards has to be a Quadro ! Weird !
Any known reason ? Any possible trouble with four EVGA 580 3GB ?
See below in the CUDA parallel computing power supported section.
