Solve : 2-7900gtx's and no room for audio?

Answer»

:'(Is there a way of connecting an audio CARD to my asus a8n 32sli-deluxe after having connected 2 ge-force 7900gtx video cards? These cards cover up all the pci slots. Or is there another board out there that gives me more options? This is my first build and I'm REALLY GETTING discouraged. I THOUGHT I did my homework and never thought that stuff wasn't going to fit. Components I'm using are; Silverstone TJ07 ATX Full Tower, AMD FX-60, 2G Corsair3500 PRO, 4 WD 5000YS RE-2 HD's in raid 0,1 ,CREATIVE LABS platinum pro audio card(maybe not), PCP&C 1kW psu. I thought I had the right board to accomodate all this stuff. Is there such a board or not?According to specs shown on newegg.com for that motherboard, it has:

PCI Express x16 2 x PCI-E x16 with SLI™ support at full x16, x16 mode
PCI Slots 3
Other Slots 1 x PCI-E x4 slot

That's a total of six slots. Now, if you've built this system yourself, you surely know that you aren't going to find motherboards with more slots than that. I haven't SEEN any of the ge-force 7900gtx video cards, so I find it hard to believe you have no room to install something in any of those PCI slots after installing your two video cards. You have two PCI slots between the top PCI-E x16 and the bottom one, right? So, how can you not enough room to install an audio card there?
