Gigabyte Quad SLI mainboard powering 10 monitors

Tweaktown has a full shot of the bare board, and a picture of it powering enough graphic cards to use 10 monitors at once.
I don't want to know what kind of heat output the cards have or how much power the cards need. But here are the pictures:

Well I guess professional CAD users could use a 4-6 Monitor setup...but 10 is even too much. if they need the desktop space, they would use highres 19 or 21 inch TFTs, instead of 17 inch ones..

Pro CAD engineers (I nearly became one) use huge 23" panels, 2 of them. No more... lol. And that's the dudes that design the engine blocks in your rides, so no childs play. And they don't use this type of motherboard... They use so called workstations :p

Let alone four graphics cards.

But that was my better thing. :p lol j/k

Ya four video cards are a waste as far as I'm concerned. Maybe in a flightsim, but for us.

You know what I just thought about, couldn't anyone have done this with say a single AGP card and four PCI cards?
