Meh..dual 6800's? One Ultra is almost as fast

And Newegg is a bit overpriced on the Asus motherboard....they're going for $199 on other sites. Same goes for Video cards on Egg

But I still love the Egg

It's still a decent price, though the regular 6800 card wouldn't be worth SLI-ing. It's really hard to find PCI-E 6800GT or Ultra cards right now, so most people considering SLI wouldn't be able to complete their systems.

If you want to spend that much on a case, please don't get that thermaltake pos.

IMO, the Shark cases are pretty decent. Their bad cases were in the Xaser III line. Pretty much every Xaser III was horrible. I had to mod the hell outta my Xaser III (curse those newb days when i got suckered in by the looks) to make it worth using.

The shark's got everything for a winning case design, removable motherboard tray, dual 120mm's, side mounted hard drives, full aluminum case, drive rail systems and amazing looks.

I would swap my Xaser III gladly for a Shark any day in a heartbeat (not in it's current modded form but still...).


Anyway, you forgot a power supply.
