More good info, thank-you.

$125 at NewEgg, so not bad there.

I've googled a little bit for those powered riser cables. I've found some, but pretty obscure vendors. Do you guys know of a good source for those?

Thanks

You can buy regular risers without power cable and mod them with molex plug (if you need powered risers at all) there was a tutorial on the forum somewhere, it's really easy.

...and the BitcoinKid

keep in mind, most modern GPUs take up the space of 2 slots on the motherboard. So you'll only be able to get half the number of video cards as there are PCI-X slots on the board.

This is a good board, though you will not find it for $100, and if you are using 6 cards, you better use powered risers.

MSI FXA-GD65 - 6GPU (without any mods) and it's for like $100, also it has additional power plug for PCI-E so you don't need powered risers.

Any recommendations on a good motherboard for running multiple video cards (with or without risers)? Of course looking minimize expense, but also looking for something stable and durable.

Thanks for any thoughts on this...
