    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!

    lol david you have effectively spammed this link all over the forums I am actually lost in the flood of threads with this name. Yes I know its a good deal but sadly I cannot afford it yet, and scan finance won't accept me

    any chance of getting it minus the case? i've already bought 2 cases for the pc i've been making for like the last year (lost my fx-55 about 6 months ago which after paying about £500 for it put the project on hold, but i found it again the other day) i've already spent about £270 on cases (i bought a ThermalTake Armour, then decided to get a ThermalTake Tai-Chi instead, so the armour is never even going to be used =/), what are the terms for finance btw.

    Forget the finance question. parents have said they will borrow me the money ;D

    The Akasa is a very nice case. Don't judge a book by it's cover (in this case the front panel) - if you haven't read any reviews of it.
