Heh, it's alright. When I got my existing one they were £1500 or $2500. I found mine on ebay for £777. I just need to wait for them to become popular and get a bit of spare cash and I'm sorted... :P
Nah seriously it'll be a while before I get one of those, I like my existing monitor too much!

I know what you mean. My brother managed to pick one of these up from where his dad works. What a beast, shame his GPU can only support the low resolution images, not the full 2560 x 1600 so it looks like crap! I will be sticking with my 19" Widescreen though, more than enough for me.

That's appalling, you gotta buy him a 7300GS at least so he can get the full res out of it!

Yup, AFAIK anything from the 7000 or X1000 series upwards supports 2560x1600.
Seriously, 1280x800 on my monitor looks awful compared to the real deal, it has to be seen to be believed.

Wicked. I will talk him into buying it from me. I feel a HD 3850 coming my way, maybe in a few months.

You realise the 15000rpm drives can only be used over SAS?

Yup, unless you want to fork out for a PCI serial attached SCSI controller (it'll have to be PCIe for proper peformance) you have to use Raptors or normal 7200rpm drives.

Nice parts, except for the case, and the fact that PSU probably isnt powerful enough to run that lot!

Meh, I like the case. I may want a bigger one if I can find it to spread out the heat a bit more. The PSU is Quad-SLi ready.

Doesn't mean it's up to the job of three 8800GTXs though. I own that PSU and it's good, but personally I think you're cutting it a bit fine.

An 850W unit will probably suffice.
