what size monitor are you using? As many point out SLi wont really be that great of an advantage on anything less then 24".

Also spending that much money you could get a better HDD: seagate 7200.11 series 32mb cache.

just my thoughts, still looks like a bada$$ build!

I'm going to be the antagonist here and say I don't believe it.
I want pictures

In all honesty, if this is true, I hope you're gonna be watercooling it or something extreme like that. Would be sweet.

Looks like a sweet toy, but what I see as wrong is you are spending 4K for the last little bit of performance. Other than trying to set new benchmarks does that extra 4K or so really improve your gaming experience?

You can build a fantasitc SLI gamer for 2K to 2.5K and I doubt that the in game performance difference between the two systems would even amount to 5%. It looks sweet but I doubt I will ever be rich enough to justify paying that much more for so little gain. Maybe if I won the Lotto .
