if you had that many cards how many would you feel obligated to crunch with?

He (from the funny video) doesn't even own a PC...but then I don't think he is 'real' -It's like a kid collecting wheel discs without owning a car -harmless fun
I know of a Dutch 3DFX collector with a room full of Vodoo cards, he at least also owns a PC, and is real.

Simple I would have to move down the road next to the hydro-electric dam because the answer to your question is ALL OF THEM. lol

That solves the power problem, but what to do with heat (water cooling?) and noise (how do you cool your radiators? Hang them in the lake? -lake heats up)

With al those HD 6850/70s you must already face the problem on a smaller scale...

it's irony cause as far as i know that smaller tends to deliver low tempt. and make less noise compare to big card

[Dirk Broer]

Smaller also has -in general- a much lower GFlop/Watt ratio. You can fill a machine with four small cards of 35 Watt each, or buy one card that does 140 Watt, in 99% of the cases the output of the 140 Watt card will be much better than that of the four 35 Watt cards.
That 1% is for cases when an old 140 Watt nVidia card is used, say a GeForce GTS 240. That has a meagre 3.89 GFlop/Watt tdp, four HD 6450s will consume less power/generate less heat and -in general- will give more credit.
In general I would rather have a HD 7990 and a Geforce Titan that both only run 8 hours a day than my present lot of 7 GPU's in my computer room that run 24/7. It would cut down both on noise, heat and used power.
