That is true. Seeing 4 dual slot gpu's on a single board makes my jaw drop. Looks Like a brick.

well if 5850's get cheaper I may well pick another one up. I miss my dual 4870 room heater

Yeah I've got a few other ones.

30 year old picture-esque


Before the 8800GT


Shortly after I got the case, sans any SATA cables because they slipped my mind

I had a very good experience with NZXT customer service with a problem on my Sentry LX fan controller, I hope that having a NZXT representative on the forum will help improve the service and, in this case, popswala.

X2 bro...nothing like seeing 2 nasty cards in a gaming rig....its there for the taking, so use it

BTW , here are some pics of my watercooling t77snapshot !!

The lid isn't shut properly, yeh i know :P ---plus ive added the extra fan for suction---so thats 3 fans in total i have sucking the heat out, the case fan, the internal WC unit fan, and the top one ive added----keeps thing nice and cool, 39 degrees idle on all day----ive added small rubber stoppers on one side of the WC unit to give 1 side height so it sits balanced..

Well, I've had them for 2 years now. Before those cards existed.

Was waiting for the 5850 to drop to the price I though it should be, and the 6800s came out.

Now I'm waiting for the 6900s. Then hopefully they'll be a good choice for me to make.

But I agree. It is time for an upgrade.

It does seem more efficient to use a single card, and hoping a 6950 or 6970 will fit the bill.

But running two cards is just cool. The 4830s are my first and only multi-card setup, and I was ecstatic that it worked. It still seems cool to me.

So I may get one card for a while, but there's no guarantee I won't eventually get a 2nd one.

Popswala,
I hope that the service department has helped you out with this issue. You should have received an email moments after your post as I have informed them. If you find that the service is slow or unresolved, let me know and I'll check this issue out personally.

Btw, why did you decide not to cut out the the bottom of the case for the 120.2 radiator? it seems like the stock holes would restrict the airflow greatly.
