Holy crap.....someone get me a towel to wipe up the drool.

What physical modifications did you have to make to these cards? I assume is has something to do with removing the shroud around the end of the card so the fans at the front of the Tyan can push air through the cards, since I imagine the fans on each card do pretty much nothing.

I'm lobbying for the budget to grab 8 cards for our Tyan. We currently have 4 770s - it was all I could afford when we built it since I had to spend the rest of my budget on the Tyan itself. If I can get 8 980s or 970s, my only worry is the airflow through the system.
