They reviewed it (and used two in their "Dream Machine) in MaximumPC magazine and said it was incredible.
I think I read that article. The nickel-plating of the Blackbird case cost so damn much.Poseidon wrote:

Yep. 'Twas pretty ridiculous. I'd never get nickel plating on my PC even if I WAS building a dream PC.Smithereener wrote:

I am building a dream PC.
Just not for me.
It ain't gonna be nickel plated.

It ain't gonna be nickel plated.
It's believed that the card is supposed to be released the 12th of August. Does anyone know if this has been confirmed?
Hopefully i'll have some spare cash by the time that's out, time for a new PSU and 24" monitor too
I was going to just get one upon release, but I wanna see how this 280+ goes. Still not a fan of dual GPU cards.
Next week as far as I know.
It was something like $5000 or $10000 right? I can't find my magazine.Poseidon wrote:

"people in ny have a general idea of how to drive. one of the pedals goes forward the other one prevents you from dying"
If I was building a dream PC, the water blocks would be made of gold.
I believe so... I'll admit it did look pretty awesome, but with that kind of money, I'd buy a car.haffeysucks wrote:

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

$5,000. And the Blackbird case was $1,000.haffeysucks wrote:

I'd rather just get a huge ass Lian-Li or something.
Dragging this back on track - anyone seen any prices (of the HD 4870 X2) yet?
I can't find any UK prices.
Hmmm... How long's it gonna be before nVidia/retailers drop the price of the GTX280 I wonder?

Noice. The GTX280 has gotta come down, if 400 Euro is correct.
Who would want a GTX anyway. Until X58 is out I don't see a point in getting a nvidia card. If you want to go SLI after some time you are only limited to nforce mobos which suck compared to Intel chipset mobos.Scorpion0x17 wrote:
