Surprised they didn’t get this out in time for SIGGRAPH, but Supermicro has raised the bar by announcing a new workstation that can hold four of NVidia’s Tesla C1060’s in a single towercase.
The new 704GT-TRF SuperWorkstations are based on Intel Xeon 5500 [Nehalem] core processors and support up to four NVIDIA Tesla C1060 GPUs. They also support up to three additional PCI-e add-on cards for additional expansion. In order to keep such a beast fueled, they feature redundant Gold Level [93%+ efficiency] 1400-watt power supplies.

The AMAX ServMax PSC-2n and the Colfax CXT5000 have been doing this for awhile now:

HPCwire talked about it at SC08 last year…

Of course, these computers did not use Intel Nehalem chips at the time…
