^Yep, you can even go 3 and 4 VGA cards depending on the MB you have.

To give you an idea, the Origin BIG O.
http://www.originpc.com/thebigo-features.asp

"From a single Intel Core i7 overclocked to 4.5GHZ to Dual Intel Xeon X5680's overclocked to 4.3GHz. Then add up to 12GB's of Corsair GT 2000Mhz memory and the mother of all graphic setups Quad SLI EVGA GTX 480 FTW video cards. Simply put, you won't find anything more powerful."

You know what I hate about Royal Purple? Is that it is dark purple in color so it always appears black and dirty even if you just put it in. They really ought to change it's color in my opinion. Other than that great stuff.

Actually you can run quad, but tri has better scaling, and dual is still plenty with something like 480s (for gaming), unless you're doing 3d rendering work etc.
