You're looking for a board that supports 4 x triple slot graphics cards? No normal motherboard has 12 expansion slots, so the only way would be to use some flexible x16 PCIe risers on a normal board that supports 4 way crossfire, but you wouldn't be able to mount them in a case or anything; you'd have to fashion some kind of frame to hold the 4 graphics cards. Just Google image search "mining rig" and you'll get the idea.

EDIT: and it goes without saying; if this is for gaming, I wouldn't recommend it.

Instead of getting 4 R280 GPUs, why not get 2 R290x GPUs?
