    Thanks, The 9800 GTX was the card I was going to go with.. but i got a steal on this card and My buddy has 2 more I will be snaggen. The watercooling was $280 but I have a friend that works at microcenter and he got it knocked down to half which I couldnt pass up. As for the water blocks for the graphics cards... I dont know If I want to mess with that yet. I am going to get this up and running and see how it does. I tested the pump and all the fans... They are soooo quiet and the radiator is freezing when you touch it.

    Sounds like a great deal!!! Does he have more laying around? I am not up to date with the newer nVidia cards past the 9800's, but are the new ones you have SLI capable? I dont see the bridge slot for them? Also the other problem I have with my current setup, I have an Asus A8N32-SLi Deluxe Mobo with an AMD Athlon 64 4000+ San Diego 2.4GHz 1MB L2 Cache and 4GB of PQI Turbo memory onboard. OC'ed to 220mhz on the FSB so its a bit faster than normal. Nothing major mind you.

    The problem I encountered with the 9800 and from the looks of yours, it would be same, I lost two of my SATA ports when I installed that monster video card But looking at your eVGA board you get away with not losing any!! They were smart to place them behind the video slots and not underneath or stacked behind like a lot of the boards still have. That would make it almost impossible to get a 9800 to sit flat and seat right.

    I might have to do some checking on your Mobo and consider a CPU and Memory upgrade in the coming months.

    I'll get those pictures soon, my camera is downstairs while I install my new Kenwood KAC-X4R amp in the Prix. Good times...........
