I'll see what I can do.  The video cards and case are not in stock though, so it might be a while.
I still see it. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.4213436

I'm going to wait a while and see if amazon restocks.  It would save my $60.  I'll just slap together a temporary case for now.

What are you go to installing there?

4x Sapphire Tri-X (triple fan) R9 290 and 1 XFX 280x (dual fan model) to start with.  I'll add a 6th card of some sort later.

The first 2-3 cards are using non powered risers and the last 2 are powered x1

similar to my other 6 card setup




Do you need powered risers? It looks like you can just plug them into the 1x slot.


Can you get 2 cards into your HAF XB case? Well you can fit 5 of them, here are 3 of them, one is 5 card and the other two are 4 card setups




5 Card setup

Maby i will put 4xR9 290X on Gigabyte Z87X-OC in  Cooler Master HAF XB. But R9 290X are expensive at this moment.

I'm not sure you can without using risers,  can you???..

Why not?
There is enough space, 2 free slots between cards.

If temperature will be too bad, i will put over cards, on Cooler Master HAF XB, some fan as on picture

No, NOT a good case.  You don't want the cards so close to each other, so you want to use risers.

Just use a plastic crate as a "Case" if you can't afford/build an open frame
I'm about two Gigabyte AMD HD7990 .

Gigabyte Z87X-OC $220.17

There will be enough space between two cards, no risers needed, and in this case is possible to have additional 20" fan ower the cards and two other fans on back side.

Yes but you will need to find a way to cool it down...

This picture make me switch to 4x7970;

There are ways to cool, see two 4x7990 watercooling miners.

If i use Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD7 4x7970 in this case, they will die? Some research show, that they stay about 80 Grad Celsios

You'll still want powered risers.  HAF XB gets too hot regardless of how many fans you use.
