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

[DR]

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.

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!

Well for me there a limit to stupidness. I could afford to buy 10 of those systems right now? but whats the point.

A single high end card can run any game at 1600x1200.

Basically it's for benchers quad SLI, seeing as SLI isn't exactly prefficient. Your paying for 4 video cards, and you rusing about 50% of there power, more cards will mean less efficient.

Not the mention the heat issues, PSU issues, and major CPU bottleneck. Anything less than an X2 at 3Ghz is gonna be a waste of time.
