UberMonkey: is this a joke?

Just found this rig on my searches and this has got to be either a joke or a fiddle... what do you peeps think?

Check out the specs on this, something smells abit fishy to me for that price... not to mention the heat from that thing must be obscene!

Lol yeah that's a joke... There is no way someone has a qaud 8800s + all the stuff with that and still have a stable, useable system

Would be cool if you could do that with only a 700w PSU

ha ha ho ho ho

Edit: oh wait, QUAD sli?? I didn't see that before. yeah, right, but that would be ridiculously cool w/the 8800GTX.

For that system, they'd need a 2KW PSU. 4 8800GTX....

Its really funny I found the link for that system while searching the eurogamer forums I think... and the guy was comparing it to an Alienware ALX or something....

Ridiculous, even if it was real the heat from those four cards would be enough to adequetly replace your central heating system without watercooling. lol

I wonder how many saps have actually phoned up for that thing?

Lol yeah I like to mess around alot, Like in counterstrike I'll just use a knife and run into the middle of a mob of people just shooting and end up killing them all then all you hear is a squeaky voiced kid like "Haxors!1!11 F'ing n00bs"

A recent ad in Maximum PC for "Cyberpower" or IBUYPOWER, lists their topend rig with 2 8800GTX's as a "quad" Gpu rig, is the 8800 GTX like the 7950 GX 2's except with 2 cores on 1 PCB or maybe its a duel gpu ppga.... as for the cost notice this is a UK site and those are pounds...so for us yankees thats more like 6-7k dollars US...so is it still a joke?


X out.
