I did'nt think they would be out until Fed but they are in.

They come with a custom built heat sink and fan designed for the 3870 and overclocked to the maxed from factory. While the 3870 is about 10-15% lower in performace than the 8800GT the card is well designed by Sapphire to make up for the difference in my opinion.

That would be so badass if it shipped in that case.

Go for it ATI users... Casing is so freaking cool ! Add a 20-30 $ just for that ! But then you can use it for school, im wondering what face my teacher would've done back in high school if i had given a resumé in that case

Read the review get a shit load of stuff worth way more than that. You get extra software, couple source games, HDMI cable, couple adapters(Standard), and a damn good warranty...

That case is so hot. I'd buy it just for the case...

How much is it though? I bet the price will be more than the 8800GT, if not more expensive seeing that it comes with a fucking sweet case, which cool as it is, just jacks up the price. Also, I'm sceptical the single slot cooler will keep it cold enough.

$299 on newegg. uh, no thanks now that i can get a 8800gt for less than that. sounds like this is for the fan boys who want the stupid briefcase. i remember that an older set of ati crossfire cards came in a similar case too.

I was wondering if there was anyone else who remembered that crossfire package. It like those hitmen that bring rifles in a guitar case only it's extremely nerdy in this sense.

For something that's going to sit hidden away in my case, no design can make up for any performance shortcomings.
