I need more slots four 4 graphics cards, sound card, physics card, and wireless link....Given that so many video cards take the space of two cards youd think mb manufacotures whould come up with a new design....Maybe a new format that would fit in full towers

a lot of intel have 7 slots....6 will not hold 7 cards.....and given the arrangment....ether they should add more space or add more slots so that you can cram in 4 graphic cards which today are bigenough to cover two slots

can you justify 4 graphics cards?? I mean are you going to be trying raytracing at 1680x1200 or something? the physics card is odd as they are pretty much useless is 99% of the case, the wireless could be provided by a USB dongle, same for the Sound card, are you an audiophile or a videophile?

I have to take it you are a gamer then

physics card is a replacement for the cpu and ram pretty much, so useless. 4 graphics cards is pointless, get 2 good ones and your good. on board sound is perfectly fine for anything and that leaves room for a wifi card

Hmm there are dual core cards. then I can have the phiscks/network/soundcard... tghough its still a shame two slots are wasted, which is the point of this thread, wasted slots. I wonder if they can make a new format for full sized towers with extrra sopace in between each slot

Ah! In that case, I suggest you just knock up a PCB and populate it. Shouldn't be too difficult.
