Are Dual-PSU in one system still problematic or do they work flawless nowadays?

Would it be possible to have 7 GPUs with ASUS Z10PE-D8 WS, each GPU running at 8X?  (need a WS for rendering).

Should be fine. Cases such as the Corsair 900D, Cooler Master HAF 932, and Cooler Master Cosmos II are all great cases that will take dual PSU's.

You can have way more than 4. 4 is the max for gaming software like SLI and Xfire but professional machines can take as many as they can fit.

Without SLI there is no point in multi gpu

SLI is gaming only. Editing suites can take use of multiple cars but they comm via PCI lanes and not SLI cables.

Well.... he could use if for Folding or BOINC. Those have 100% scaling, even with 7gpus.
