Yes, thinking about SLI

So I bought my computer about a month ago. Video card is ASUS 6600GT. Pleased with performance, though Painkiller: BOoH runs better than Counter-Strike Source, even though it's graphically superior...

Anyways, I'm thinking about getting another card of the same model. I look at the prices and see they're still at $290 (Sweden) and that's too much for another card.
6800GT is about $500, forget about that...

I'm quite confident that it would be a nice upgrade. I mostly play at 1024x768, so with another card I should be able to jank the details up where I can't now, as well as play with more AA/AF (which is sorely needed in the Source engine, less so in PAIN engine for some reason, even at the same resolution).

But for it to be worth it, I must import. No single American on-line store I've seen ships to Sweden, no NewEgg or whatever.

Does anyone here have any idea as to where I could get a card for less than, say, $150 shipped to Sweden?

Shipping in from outside EU you'll need to pay a lot for shipping + customs, it eats up all you save on the low $. I did manage to find a few shops shipping outside US, but even though I might save some $$$ it wasn't worth the trouble, specially if something goes wrong with the card. But you could take a look for yourself.

btw I live in Denmark.

That's what I was afraid of...

Damn, all the real computer hardware markets are in the US (and maybe Canada), it seems. But maybe some guy will ship it to me? A used card should be fine, since it can't possibly be that old, or what do you say?

If I could get one for $100, maybe from someone who upgraded to X850XT or 6800U, that would be a good deal?
