    Sorry if this has been mentioned, but I haven't visited this forum in a long while.

    I spoke with Dell in the UK (after going through sales -> parts sales -> UK) earlier today, enquiring the price of the SLI 8800GTX's as a parts upgrade.

    Frank called me back, after first telling me that "we haven't actually sold any of these yet" and proceeded to quote £299+VAT+p&p.

    I was expecting either "we don't ofer an upgrade" or "that will be £600 please".

    299 pounds? that's a pretty sweet price for two 8800m-gtx.
