Id rather not buy a video card that costs more that my entire computer.....
Edit: im kinda cheap though. I buy cards when the price drops low enough so that im paying for the price of manufacturing rather than paying for the development of the technology......

Just to let you all know these card have a combine 5.2 tflops of power (thats just the cards not including processor, memory, etc)
Thats 5 times as powerful is the PS3

So there you go

^^Keep dreaming . . .

These cards are acomplete waste of money. Yes, it's amazing what technology is doing, but the whole SLi concept by itself is a waste right now, not to mention Quad SLi.

I'm sorry about the mix up it cost 1,200 for the costom paint job.

"Each system comes with a custom paint job, which is done by hand and rumored to cost over $1,200 per system."

Said- http://www.hexus.net/content/item.php?item=4332


And the system ranges from $4000 to $10000
More then some poeples cars.

By the time you spend all that money on quad-SLI, AMD will have already moved on to DDR2 in its Socket AM2 systems. Short of NVIDIA coming up with true 16x quad-SLI for AM2 systems (and promising consistant driver support) with enough extra expansion slots for what I need, I don't think I'll ever buy four video cards for one computer.
