Better pics too. God, imagine triple SLi'ing this? Maybe I will.

6 gfx cards. -drools-

Ehh, I'd rather have a single card that doesn't dim the lights in my house to play a freaking video game.

Imagine the beer you could have for the same amount as three of those donkeys.

But if you had a job you could just tell them "It's my money and I buy whatever the fuck I want with it".
Or you could just buy it secretly without them knowing. Whichever you prefer.
I couldn't do the last part. I'd need to order it online somewhere, then I would pay my parents back.
I have $700 in my bank account, and I don't have a job. They want me to save up for a car, which I agree with, but really, $150 isn't going to hurt me that much.

so here's what you do:

get 150 in cash, i get payed in cash cause im under the table, might be harder for you to do so...
go to rite aid, safeway, etc.. get yourself a 150$ visa gift card... it will cost you 153$ i think.
totally untrackable online purchase, send it to a friends house or to your house and intercept the mail

A single socket can hold up to 1800 watts of power.

I'm sure you wouldn't need over a 1000w PSU to power all 3. After all, I'm sure Nvidia's trying to keep their power consumption levels of their cards very low to rival ATi.

Edit: Seems you can only Quad-SLi the 9800 GX2 (AKA just regular SLi'ing) because 3 9800 GX2s wouldn't fit.

Does anyone know if you needed a SLi motherboard for a single 7950GX2? Because it's two chips together but essentialy just one single card.
Let's hope I don't, because I'll be buying that 9800GX2 I guess.. But else I'd need a new motherboard too ._.

Haha. I wouldn't care if it looked like a giant turd. It would still beat the shit out of any GFX card right now.

No, it goes through 1 PCI-E bus, so for 1 7950GX2 or 1 9800GX@, you don't need a SLI board if youre planning on buying only 1.

I have a feeling they'd have to invent a new motherboard standard for that. HugeATX or so.

We don't know yet if the GeForce 9800GX2, which is supposed to be 30% faster than the 8800 Ultra, will support Quad SLI configurations. The expected price: around $449 US. Expected announcement date: February 14, 2008.

That's within my evga step up window. I got my 8800 GTS 512 for 359.... does that mean I'd only have to pay 90 bucks to step up to that?!

Do I see an HDMI and Optical audio out?

That's exactly my plan, kinda. I'll get a $450 loan from my parents and then sell the 8800 GTX for like 300-400 and give them that money.

Do you think you can still get 300-400 (euro's?) for that thing? I'm not entirely sure what I should ask for it, maybe around 350-370 because well, in the shop they go for around 370-400 now too
