Interesting... Nice of them to make it so that only those who will actually use that tech have to pay the $100+ premium.

Though, on the other hand.. "4-way license key"?!?! Really nVidia? WTF is that supposed to be? You're charging manufacturers for the privilege of buying your tech now?? WTF?!?!?

Awesome - as long as you don't mind the fact that there isn't a case on the planet you can pop your new pride and joy into.

Yes I know WE could make it happen, but not all hardcore gamers are hardcore modders...

I accept your challenge, and raise you an Antec Skeleton! Haha! :D

Hmmm I don't think so....

For one thing, the daughterboard is about an inch wider than the full atx board, and there isn't an inch between that board and the side rail support of the skeleton, and secondly, the place where you screw in the graphics cards needs to be about half an inch higher too and that rail doesn't look adjustable....

Neener neener neeeeeener :p

Ah yes, you are correct. I was forgetting the horizontal overhang. :(

How long did it take you to come up with that case idea?
