Crazy Monster Gaming PC...
http://secure.newegg.com/NewVersion/...Number=8056528

Wow, I wonder who posted that wishlist on there...(wink,wink.. )


In exess of $7,000 USD...I would guess it getting about 18,000 3dMarks stock on air, if not 20,000.

wasting money is fun!!
Reviewed By: Hugh Jadoush on 1/19/2008 Tech Level: low - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
Pros: It freaking rocks! I get 2,000 fps on Crysis at 43,000x23000 resolution!
Cons: It doesn't rock more. I wish I could get like 5,000fps, but my physics teacher says that'd cause a rip in space.
Other Thoughts: I got 3 of these to run on my new 3-way SLI EVGA board. My friends say it's pretty decadent and selfish to spend 1800 dollars on video cards when there are hard-working people in our own country who can barely afford to feed their families but I say screw them! This ain't rushia, man! That's their problem they don't make money like me LOL!!!

Talking about 3DMarks, 2x HD 2900XT would score better than 2 8800 Ultra's. Just take a look at Futuremark's Hall of Fame.

And what's that guy that did the review been sniffing? That is total bollocks, 2,000fps and that resolution. Even on minimum resolution and detail an 8800Ultra would get nowhere near 2,000fps. Looks like everyone else agrees, 1 out of 12 think it is helpful.

Hey man it's just a little sarcasm. Do they not have that in NZ?
Check out the reviewers name and sound it out phonetically.

Umm, maybe you should...world record is set by K|ngp|n and FUGGER with 2x 8800 Ultras:

looks like to much PC for too much money. Also you can't use SLI with that mobo, so there is no point in getting two cards.

Somebody has to make them cards and sell them right? Isn't he giving other people good work? Not a waste of money, if you have it to spend, spend it.
