I have two. And two secondary/slave ones. Do you mean that you have 6 on your mobo, or that it will support 6?
I’ve got 5 PCI slots on the mobo, plus an 8X AGP. The case has got room for seven cards, so I used something that came with the mobo that adds two more full-sized USB ports, a USB mini-port, and a FireWire port. So that makes six normal USB ports in the back, two more up front (all the case supports), and adding in the PCI FireWire card I got for my old computer (all I had in that thing was USB1 and that won’t work with an iPod), three rear FireWire and one front Firewire. The video card is taking up the AGP slot, the sound card (a Voytera Turtle Beach Santa Cruz instead of using the onboard sound), TV card, and FireWire card take up three of the five PCI slots and gives me room for two more cards. Probably I’m going to get an IDEE controller card so that I can actually use my Zip drive again, because from here on out I’m getting SATA hard drives since the motherboard has that support built in, as do some of the power supply cables. Plus, as I said, I can RAID most of my stuff, or at least all my documents and music files if I buy two of them and the BIOS natively supports RAID.
Actually, what really makes this computer weird is the dual LAN. I don’t know if I’ll ever use its bridging functions. And the case has got support for a front fan for the hard drives (I’ve got three external 5.25" bays, two external 3.5" bays, and 4 internal 3.5" bays) but I can’t get the fan I bought to power up and I haven’t really wanted to spend the cash on a new fan when I’m not having overheating problems. It would be really funny if I had everything up and running and if I was still on my old school’s network. I’d be using A, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, P, U, W, and Z all the time. That includes some logical drives, virtual drives, and network drives, but still, that is a lot of drives.

I built this almost exacly one year ago. Its about time for another gig of ram aside form that I like the beauty of the case and the internals. Its slighty modded with all the cables sleeved and a few eccentric addons.
The green ones had Pentium4 on the other side.
I wasn’t going to post mine, just lurk as usual, but had I had to after The Cat tried to catch some of those CPU chips falling off the screen. Then He would have killed some of those lines if there wasn’t an invisible barrier blocking His attack.

AMD 64 +3200, 1 gig ram, x800 (pro or XT, I don’t remember).
Judging from some of the replies this test isn’t wholly objective and can easily be manipulated.
The Gateway machine at home just did a 60,465. Not too shabby for an out of the box unit.
FWIW, I boosted my scores on the home system to 58604 by just turning off one of the two monitors, and reducing the resolution on my system to 800x600.
