I'm stuffing 1080Ti's in my Rosewill case.  These to be exact:

Hopefully I will be able to shoehorn them in there.  I also really want to flow to be front to back to match everything else in my rack as aesthetics are important to me.  I'm thinking if I limit myself to 4 1080Ti's, I'll be ok.  What do you guys think?

Here's the rack it will be going in that is busy doing Burst mining already.   Grin

You need to replace the fans. The original fans are extremely weak, and are probably the worst 120mm fans I've ever seen. But yeah, you're going to need some serious CFM if you want the traditional front-to-back setup to work.

The three front 120mm's need to be high static fans since it's being met with the resistance of the front grill, dust filter, and of course your graphics cards. Those two 80mm puppies in the back have to be high CFM to equally exhaust the front fan's intake (minus PSU exhaust). Any less, and it starts becoming a hotbox.

I have NF-F12s for my 120mm, and NF-A8s for my 80mm. If you're feeling particularly adventurous, use these for the 80mm fans.

I'll let you know how well my setup works when I get my bracket...
