Wow, just stupid. I draw the line at a 7800GT. After that it is pointless.
omg that eally defeats the purpose thats just 2 fx card why didnt the just make one 2x as powerful it sad bit**in dell though
why only 2x as powerful, when you can now to 4x?Quote:

2x because they would have 1 fx card instead of 2 shottly sruck together
noones done anything good since the geforce one with transform and lighting, and way back the original voodoo that blasted gaming from software to hardware based.
Its all horsepower and RPM now
:rolleyes: jezzeesus, looks like a tennis racquet. thats really kinda ghey to me, i mean wtf. oh well, im sure some dude with mom/dad money will have them when there out. how cool.
All i can say is HOLY EFFIN CRAP
thats gota cause some airflow problems too i would think with the board being so long
I like Asus's Dual Card better, because its two GPU's, not two GPU's and TWO boards! Although, Dell's and nVidia's version is actually a whole lot better and really utilizes the SLi factor. Asus' emulates it to a point but it really isn't SLi. As soon as they cut the size of the card down and reduce it to one board per card, I'll think about getting it. (That gives me plenty of time to save up)
its actually very afford able compared to just getting 2 separate cards. I believe it will run you 700 instead of 900 for sli qualityQuote:

I kind of lost interest in the card after I saw the paint job on that Dell!! :eek:
I can't tell by the signature on it.. but I'm pretty sure that was done by Mike Lavallee from Killer Paint. His real flames are AMAZING... oh yah.. the card.. neat idea, a bit over kill.. and I bet it is a royal pain to fit that into a standard case.. that is IMHO.
im sure ittl fit fine, if it doesnt take out the hd cage and but the hd in the top one. Nothing a little moding coulndt fix.
can anyone say overheating? looks like they are about 1/4 inch apart. Plus how much power does that take? 4x vid card, 4x heatsinks. You'll be luck to get away with a 650 watt PSU if your lucky.
It is killer paint and its signed by mike dell
why did they ruin the paint job with Mike Dell's signiture?
From what I can see on the side of that case .. there are too many letters in that signature to be Mike Dell or even Michael Dell.. This is purely my opinion.. but I think thats whoever airbrushed it... I have a hard time making out if its Mike Lavallee's or not..
can you say engineers make sure its made so it doesnt overheat?Quote:

and all the old PSU's with the fans that used to blow the hot air into the nearly sealed (stock) case with only 1 or no venting fan i must have fliped atleast 20 of them for friend/familyQuote:

they have too much free time on thier hands to build that, but i wouldnt mind having all that for myself:D
Yea, the size of those cards reminds me of the old days when I used to work on Intergraph computers that had dual CAD PCI cards with a whopping 80MB of video memory on each card! Still got some of those behemoths somewhere around here...:?Quote:

I would buy this product if 5 years, because by then we will probably need cards at 2 gb mem to run most of the market games. I am running 7800 GTX SLI at 512 MB and it runs perfect for everything, a little hot but still its the best thing I have ever expierenced along with my x2 processor. Damnet NVIDIA why do you have to do this to us.
why do u care, u already got a sweet setup. Now the richest of the rich can have the most emersive gaming experience possible.
Yup, eyesore. Exactly as immersive as lastweeks rig, and at only 6x the cost!
I dont understand some of you people. Who cares how much sombody pays for it. If they get it and are happy with it whats the problem? Im sorry if i sound stupid, but it just irks me.
Why does Ferrari build street cars that can do 180mph? A car that is well over a million dollars. A car that costs 24K to do a brake job, or 1200 to change the oil?? WHY.. Because they can! And there is somebody out there that WILL buy it. There is always some one out there that will pay to have something that others don't. I guess you could call it bragging rights. All I know is its fun to see what they can come up with.. and who knows a few weeks/months/years down the road we may all get to cash in on the technology they are playing with now at a price that is reasonable to us.. :)Quote:

I learned along time ago that if you think what you got is the best .. there's probably something better out there. And if theres not now, wait a few moments because there will be!! :D
EDIT: WOW.. I just realized that posts #200 .. time sure flies when you feel at home.. thanks guys!!
