If so, I'll be replacing these 3870's with one.

Preview, looks like it's 13" long, i think that's just a tad to long for my case :cry:

Only 10.5" it would seem, that would JUST fit.

Sounds like an XMAS investment. I may just get another 4870 instead, depends on wether or not the extra 512MB of ram per GPU makes a difference at the high high end.

I can attest to the high scores of the 4870, I currently run at 1920x1200x4AA.

Think I'll use my retro pay and get one :D

EDIT: Somebody screwed up, my retro was a seperate payment from my regular pay in order to avoid getting dinged 30% taxes, but I still paid 30% taxes on my retro. Oh well, that's an additional 82bucks the gov't will owe me come tax time.
