Yes, I read at least two such reports already. Look om main forum thread with same name as this one - there is nice picture (snapshot) of BOINC manager state for syc system (2 cores and 2 GPU all working together on SETI AP + CUDA MB)

Nice, so it looks like a nice 4 slot PCI Express board with 4 GPU would be a crunching monster,.
Now what about GPU benchies, 4 9800 GT can be had off Newegg for about $100 each, or 980 Gtx for $169 or better yet GTX260 for about $229 each
Add a MSI 4 slot MB for $129, a nice quad core AMD for $119 and you would be in the super computing business.

Aha, and liquid nitrogen or helium better for cooling system ;D
Although for "Ultimate cruncher" I could chose i7-based CPU instead.

3 X the new GTX295. 6 GPUs. 296W per card @ full load. soo...900w just for 3 cards.
Curious if there is a standard power supply that can actually run 3 of these beasts on a 1366 board???
Takes (3) 6 pin + (3) 8-pin power connectors.

It would make a nice room warmer for cold winter months though.
