    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!

    I'd reccomend trading in your furnace if you plan to buy one of these. The sheer amount of power used is riddiculous, not to mention it's such a waste of money for something that will proably be bested by a single card in a year.

    Ah man I wish I had waited a few months, Scan you better keep this offer running until the end of Summer . Scan's cheating by doing this, in effect they are providing a computer without a computer and I believe Nvidia terms say they can not sell them separately without a computer, Nice work Scan you own!!!

    Negative , we have and always will have the full backing from nVidia, we would only do this with there authorization, and that is why this offer is open
