Well, I had to make a decision the other day and I really don't care if it was right or wrong and I went ahead and bought some 7800GT's. I had the GTX512 on pre-order, but I said screw that and not only is this setup faster, its $150 cheaper too. What more could you ask for.
I didn't get it running YET. Still setting it up. I won't really have anytime to even put everything together till AFTER Christmas which really pisses me off right now, but I'm patient and I can wait. (All good things come to those who wait).

I decided to open up the boxes and check everything out (like S/N and stuff like that). So I took some :camera: too, so I decided to share it with the world (and just ignore that ugly carpet).

(Opens Image Shack link, click smaller picture for VERY large one, pic sizes ~500kb's):

Enjoy and there really isn't any point to this thread (of importance), the only real point is showing off the video cards.

In Pic 6, that black blotch isn't supposed to be there is it?

And in Pic 7... that looks like a very badly put on sticker.

Otherwise, why not show off two GTX512s or something? Yes I said 7800GTX512mb SLi.

The black thing is just an edit to blank out the S/N and important stuff.

In pic 7 there is this clear stuff on the HS, all I would have to do is remove it. There not badly put on stickers...lol

And for 2 GTX512's, well I can't afford that right now.

Bah, well even if it isn't a badly put on sticker and you don't have 2x 7800GTX512s, I still hate you.

Ahh... I need a job. Nice stuff there, though. Now howabout showing us that all inside the case?

I will when I build it after christmas.

I'll most likely start a thread in General Hardware with :camera: , and specs and other stuff. I'm waiting on the A8N32-SLI Deluxe, the best I could get out of the place were I bought it was "most likely before the end of the year".

I know why you hate me, my 7800GT's in SLI totally fvck up your 6600GT and Northwood 2600Northwood P4.

You building them after or on christmas? Try to get some sleep knowing that it's almost time to put them in.
They're N516's I'm guessing? Good choice!

Yup, there the N516's. There the same price as the N515's only you get the copper hs which I thought was pretty good. I know that newegg has that rebate were it's onld 284, but the original prices are the same.
