i dont know what the hell nvidia was thinking when the pulled this crap...i really wanted one of those cards.....what a bad move..

I am pretty sure they will be available for retail in the future. I mean they should know that quite a lot of enthusiasts build their own systems not buy overpriced crap from manufacturers like Alienware.

Yeah, there is still hope. It sounds like they want to make sure the first ones out of the gate work properly.

“We are selling quad SLI configurations (using GX2 cards) via system vendors only because they require a bit more attention to proper integration of components (especially chassis, cooling, and power supplies), and we want to be sure end-users get the best experience with the first quad SLI systems. Eventually, we will sell the cards through retail, after we get some of the infrastructure items in order,” said Nick Stam, a spokesman for Nvidia Corp.

Yes, looks like only for system integrators:

Delienware is going to offer Chilled liquid cooled Quad SLi PC. Watercooling a couple of GX2 cards seemed troublesome and near impossible to me but apparently CoolITsystems came up with a chilling solution.

Yeah I know, thats why I am waiting for them to go public. My Board is ready and I am going for the Quads. But then again, it all depends on Conroe EE and when it's released.

Hmm quad sli or ageia ppu and soundcard? i know which one i would choose :D

[maddbomber83]

If I had to choose yes, I would go quad, but if I'm spending that much money I shouldn't have to choose.
