phase change cooling... probably 2 units (one for the video, one for the CPU)

cools it down to -100C
most of the stuff on the thing is isloation to keep condensation away

Thats not that impressive.

I'm waiting to buy SLI mobo's so I can get past the 11000 barrier in 3d mark 2005.

40,000 Not impressive??? (!)

Erm, what would impress you, - considering 2001 measures CPU performance and GFX capabilities wheras 2005 is slanted to GFX and little else!

My 3D Mark 2001 scores in my sig, trust me, I'm well impressed - however pointless banchmarking ultimately is.  ;)

As for waiting for the SLI kit, good job you are!

1, theres next to no support (yet)

2, silly prices for the few dual SLI boards in existance,

3, What on earth  REALLY requires more than a single 6800GT (Which its accepted in most cases, happily overclock's to "Ultra" speeds! ) ?  never mind two of 'em!

That said, I'd love to see the results of a thus equipped setup, ideally in the Screenshot Forums :)

Graphics is what impresses me above all else becaue it pushes hardware to the max.

As for what would require something higher than a 6800 gt, set a game like doom3 to ultra high quaility with full 8x Anti-aliasing and 8x anisotropic filtering at a res of 1600 by 1200 and you will find out.

However, you are correct in that there is no support. IN fact due to this, a single x800 XT PE can beat dual 6800 ultras in fs2004 and some other games.
