I was searching the net for a solution to the limited GPU space for one of my systems, and came across a reference concerning high current draw problems when running 3 or 4 ATI/AMD 5xxx. 6xxx and 7xxx series cards. This probably also applies to high-end CUDA cards.
Read about the problem and its solution on Zorinaq's blog (here)
Also found a cheap source for PCIe x16 Bus extension cables on eBay (here)

Perhaps a sticky for the ebay extenders. I've never seen them that cheap.
The PSU mod scares me/
That is really cool, F$! Thanks for sharing that blog page. The knowledge may come in handy some day.

or to quote Paul Atreides reciting the Bene Gesserit Litany Against Fear.
I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
