NVIDIA offers GPU Keychain
 
Among all the core products NVIDIA has listed on its website, that include graphics cards, motherboards, software and other computer hardware with NVIDIA branding, the company seems to have come up with a good way of making use of G98 GPUs rejected by its partners: using it in memorabilia.

Geeks wanting a piece of the NVIDIA GPU can buy a clear Lucite keychain with a real G98 GPU in it, complete with all markings, and the company logo. The main body is a 1.5 inch square. The keychain carries the part code GS-NV1544, is priced at US $9.99, and is available at the NVIDIA Online Store here.

If ATI were to do this with some RV770 chips and flog 'em on this side of the pond I'd be buying one.

I won't be surprised if there are so many of these that Newegg puts them up as free gifts with GTX 200 cards, the way Intel gave away lava lamps.
