When my PC costs more than my car it is time to get a new car.

Just the screens will cost you in excess of $5000US. In the video they use 30 inch widescreen monitors, if you used 22 inch widescreen monitors or 24 inch widescreen monitors, it's possible to get a build for around $5000, a decent amount less than that if you use 22 inch.

I'm looking forward for the technology to mature. It would be a real kick to play Crysis with three cards all with a G92GPU

So if you were given one for free would you accept it and use it?

I remember hearing the same about SLI. I suppose when we get dual GPU's on one card and three cards that the three card, single GPU guys will be saying, "What a waste"
