EVGA built some(50) GTX285 GPUs with 4 way SLI(till now only X2 GPUs could do 4 way) @ 1,699$(4 GTX285+1 Classified mobo), looks like they are desperate to get rid of all the GT200 chips laying around, with GTX275+GTS250 before and this now, why the phuc they delay fermi and brings these $hits??
Its juts like Asus Mars. nVidia and its AIBs gone absolutely mad.
If anyone's interested(and has just robbed a bank) look here: *www.evga.com/blackfriday/
Oh My God, looks at the GPUs, they need 3 pcie 6pin power pins each, so that makes a massive
3*4=12 pcie 6pin cables for the entire system.

And the custom GPUs have some cool OC feature, apparently they come with an overvolt jumper like mobos.

Anyway here's something interesting; the promo reads:
Not only will these lucky 50 people be able to decimate the competition with their new 4-Way SLI system, but they will be first in line to get the next generation of graphics when they are released. Everyone that purchases this deal will have a special option to get a next-generation powered card at launch!
Looks like fermi's closer than we think.
Finally, the promo's not end yet, something more to come in 3days, watch out, could be ......................
( though not sure if it's a real one )
