Tyan intros the ultimate gaming box

Remember when I said the NVidia quad-SLI was CPU bound? How about four dual core Opterons and 16 memory slots to pump it? The FT48 has four 8x PCIe slots or two 16x, and will support SLI.

Tyan FT48 barebones It has four PSUs, 3 + 1 redundant for a total of 1350W, and has just about every goodie you could need. With 4GB DIMMs, you can have 64GB of memory, SAS backplanes, and all with server class parts and components. Slap in eight 15K SAS drives RAIDed, four 885 CPUs, 32GB of RAM (to keep costs down, 4GB sticks are expensive), and two of the quad-SLI cards, and you have something that will probably push some decent frames.

nope; since 99% of games are made for single CPU systems.
