I'm trying to run all 4 cards from 1 motherboard, so I'm assuming I will need a quad crossfire board.

Nope, my board will all run 5 cards.  You just need PCI and PCI-E extenders so you can get some ventilation about them.   I'll make a package for you.  This is how I ran these rigs.  



This wont be for mining, will the extenders cause any performance issues?

If is isnt for mining, then yes I believe so. I can sell you some good PSUs though.  Ill check my ASRock board to see what it supports.

I think I'll need atleast an 1100 to run 4x6970

How about a (1) ABS 1100 Watt PSU (80 plus gold) - BTC8.75?

What do you need the 4 cards for if you dont mind?  Serious machine that is not for mining?

hash cracking. feel free to build me an entire system Smiley Everything but the cards and hard drive.

Im on it, Ill give you a good deal.  It will be a Board, CPU, Ram and PSU.  You supply the rest.   PM me with the zip code it would ship too.   Thanks

I doubt you'll need that much. I ran two 6950s flashed to 6970 (1536) shaders at 880MHz core / 200MHz mem / 1.06V and they pulled around 350W at the wall with an 80+ Silver PSU. This was with a 2500k/Z68 system with 8GB RAM.

i have an older rig i've just powered down from mining/being a guestbox.

asus socket am2 board with 2 pci-e 16x slots
amd athlon 64 x2 dualcore @ 2.2ghz(comes with heatsink & fan)
3gb ddr2 ram

all of it works quite well.
i'll ship all 3 items anywhere in continental US for 3.5BTC

edit: it's got 1 pci-e 1x slot also, so it'd run 3 cards..
it's housed in a bigass 1990's alienware case, which i'd send for free if you paid shipping.

I'm looking to build a rig, I have 4x 6970s, so I need a board/case/psu that can accomodate these.

If you have something, please reply here with specs, pics, and price. Thanks
