Hello

I was bored and thought I'd do a little browsing, even though i have no experience with this kind of stuff.

Look at this beast:

Looks a little pricey to me, but what do i know about boards with 12+ PCI slots...

It seems to be an add-on to any host computer, not an actual motherboard itself. this could be a good thing and bad: if you already have a host configured, you could just attach this and go...seems easy. What worries me is the speed of this box. All 13 of these expanded PCI slots run out of 1 PCI slot from your host machine and i dont know if this will slow you down or not, or even if it matters. If they make motherboards that have 12+ PCI slots and all the other periphials (CPU, RAM, Hard drive, etc.), i'd go that way.

Hopefully someone more experienced with this stuff can support/correct me.

Okay, before we go into that. Why do you need 12 PCI slots? As was stated previously, there probably is some, but will cost $$$.

Supermicro might do it
Some of the new board have an optional riser board
