ASUS Mars $1700 WTF?!?!

I know Asus is pretty expensive but, holy cripes! $1700 for an SLI card?? Are they insane? Noone’s gonna buy that. At that price anyone can already purchase a darn good computer. I know it’s not exactly marketed for the mass market. But they could at least charge a lot less for it. Since you could already buy 3 GTX295′s with that price and still have change. According to Newegg, an EVGA GTX295 Co-op edition costs $529.99 as of 6/24/2009.

The guy I’ll be seeing having one of these on TPC would have to not care about money at all or they’d have to be, well, stupid.

Follow up Post to Asus GTX285 SLi Single Card Solution

Any of you guys absolutely sick of hearing about the Single PCB version of the GTX295? Here’s a follow up now to what Asus has been cooking up.
As you can see this monster will be just like it’s predecessor a Dual slot  card with 2 PCB’s sandwiched together and the heatsink will be in just like as it was with the reference version of the GTX295, right in the middle. There are vents on each side that help dissipate the heat.
