Thanks mastercracker for your thoughts and suggestion.
I am concerned about space, as much for the fact that the third card might interfere with USB and system panel connectors which are on the other side of the board (but probably within the reach of a chunky graphics card) as anything.
As far as the case goes though, my hope is that the full tower version of the HAF X will provide ample room so that the components won't be physically constrained by the case.
I like some of the features on the ASUS board (for use other than cracking), so I'm trying to decide whether to chance it or take your advice and go with the ASRock which also looks like a nice board. Either way, thanks again for weighing in.
