Yes, I see. Of course, by the time I build the rig, I'm sure they'll have something available.

It looks really nice, but it's 4:3 :( I may end up buying the monitor from Best Buy so I can actually see the screen before I commit to it.

Looks like pretty much the same thing I listed, except it's cheaper, recertified (what's the difference between that and referubished?), and it's out of stock :-( And that's too bad, too, because that'd take off about $120. I may be able to find something similar with DX10 this spring.

Neither would I; like I said, I'm just planning and I'm probably going to build it this Spring.

OMG I couldn't agree more.

STFU! I love that case.

Lead Head wouldn't waste money on "anything", he'd prefer to play games at lower settings until DX10 comes out. :roll:
Besides $250.00 to 300.00 is not much of a waste for an almost top of the line card.

I can play most games maxed, and its $300x2, when a medium end G80/r600 for cheaper could probably beat both of them

If I was building the system today, then I'd go with a good single card solution. But since I can't afford it until Spring, DX10 cards will be available by then anyways, and I really want them.

Well, I like smoking, but I still wouldn't reccommend it to others.
