I would like to set up an Intel Xeon based server powered by maximum 4 Nvidia Tesla Fermi C2050. I have seen your GPU Computing Servers such as 7046GT-TRF-FC407 and7046GT-TRF-FC405; however, since we need to use the server in the lab with the minimum possible audio noise, I was wondering whether we can install the mainboard X8DTG-QF on the whisperquiet chassis CSE-743TQ-865B-SQ to achieve both the GPU support feature and a quiet chassis. Please kindly let us know if there are any other suggestions that can serve our purpose.
I do not think you can use this chassis, 743TQ-865B-SQ. There are two reasons for this.
* Power supply does not have enough output for all four GPU cards if they are running at heavy load mode. (each needs at least 250W).
* Air flow is not sufficient for all four GPU running altogether, even though C2050 has active fan on self card.
If you will not run full loading or more than 40% maximum load, then you can consider to use this chassis. 747TG-R1400-SQ:

However, I do not recommend to use this chassis as sometimes operators easily forget the system configuration and running at full loading.
