17 GTX 295s installed into a single rig not enough. Needs 6 more.

ByGamerForGamer has posted a video showing 17 of the eventual 23 GTX 295s that he installed into his server rig. I have not viewed the video yet (YouTube is blocked where I am) but I hear that it is pretty hot. Literally. That many GTX 295s will melt your eye parts off.

I wonder if this is gonna be one of those OnLive servers that will allow me to play Crysis on my laptop...

this guy "ByGamerForGamer" is a fake, ignore what crap he says, he claimed to have octoSLI with 4 GTX295s in his rig, he showed you an image of his system but here's the thing,he stole the image from someone else, the origins of the photo of the 4 GTX295s is from the forum in the link below, the setup was used for folding@home, not for gaming, this ByGamerForGamer guy is a fake

The system is for folding@home, not a gaming rig.

When I tried to watch the vid , it said it was blocked . Anyhow , that's one hell of a F@H beast ... as for gaming I'd like to see anyone get over two of these working properly at the same time . And damn , I wonder how many PSUs does that machine require .
