    Fancy Quad SLI but don't want the cost of a complete system?

    Well it would appear that SCAN have launched a bundle consisting of Mobo, PSU, Cards, and Chassis.



    - ASUS A8N32 SLi Deluxe NF4 SLI [1]
    - 45cm Akasa SATA/SATAII [2]
    - Akasa Eclipse-62 Midi Tower Case - Hi-End [1]
    - 900W Tagan Quad SLi Quiet 21db [1]
    - 1GB XFX 7900GTX [2 Included - Enabling Quad SLI]

    In the time which it took me to do the post, SCAN have dropped the price another 117 (100ex VAT) to £1199 + VAT

    The Chassis and PSU are the most important bit for these systems; these cards are LONG very long. The AKASA Eclipse 62 is one of the only chassis which will take these graphics cards. We have also had reports of people having problems with 700W PSUs - so the Tagan approved 900W PSU is the only route to take.

    http://www.scan.co.uk/panther/index.asp

    Price: £1,408.82 Inc VAT (Old Price: 1,527.49)

    When you take in to account the cost of 2 7900GTX XFX Cards [LNLN13687] , the Chassis, the Tagan PSU, and the Motherboard this is a bargain price. £1,408.90 so for the same price as having 2 you now have 4!

    Compared to what you could get pre-built last year for that money it's damb good. I wonder what one of those beasts sounds like in the front room? Or what the power use is like compared with other single card systems?

    There is also the question of realistic benefits in games compared with say a single oc'ed 1900XTX with a good cooler fitted and wether its worth the extra dosh. Bang per buck baby

    Will you be giving one to Custom pc to look at?
