MSRP is at $600ish, I'll wait until this summer to buy since I'll be selling parts of current build to a friend.

Retailers are anywhere between $550-600 for a stock board, but this cooling system is awesome. I was afraid of going for one of these before simply because the amount of heat they put on average was a bit high.

Not too mention two of these would require me to buy a new case, more RAM, and a new powersupply. Would use over 1200V.

One would be plenty, since I have a HD Radeon 4870 now and it runs Crysis well now.
