Very nice! But Rob, I don't think your CPU cooler is big enough.
Looks sweet and the cable management is pretty good! Did you buy it all pre-assembled or did you assemble it all yourself?

Your gaming mouse doesn't look like much of a gaming mouse to me!
not to say it is a bad decision, but would it not have been a complete better option to just go to a 7870 in the future. Should be about the same price, yes?
$40 less for 7770 xfire, but 7870 is totally worth it. A single card is always the way to go IMO.
okay, I was not really looking at prices when I was figuring. So that makes it, like $130 instead of $150 each? but a 7870 would be completely better in every way most likely.
it means "in my opinion". And as far as I can tell, they are all 1GHz, at least the ones on newegg. Overclocking does not really help graphics performance anyway. Running a 250 MHz overclock on my 480 only nets me about 7 extra frames in BF3. But I am running 125+ frames anyway, so not really worth the energy to do.
in my experience a Nvidia card runs much better with CAD than AMD, but I have not tried the new ones either. But Best of luck to you with it.
I am not seeing a data sheet with exact specs on that card, but the NVS is the low end. The NVS135 for example is a 8400 GT. The FX and Quadro 1000-6000 lines are the upper ranges (FX 2500 is a 7900 GTX) and they flat kick AMD arse with modeling. The FX2500m I have will model circles around my HD 4870. But I also find that the 480's cuda cores will beat them all.
for your unit, it seems according to amd it is "Powered by two of ATI’s scalable FireMV workstation Graphics Processing Units (GPU)". So that means your compareing a high end unit to NVS low end units. Real good there.
