this sucker is bigger!

I'd hate to be the poor fool to try to stick that into any case.....

But man, if you COULD.... whew!

I could probably just barely fit that in my computer. Definetly oversized.

Holy mother of fuck.

I could fit that in, maybe... if I took out the hard drive cage. Jesus Christ, what is the cost of that behemoth?

Maybe useable as a phallic symbol.......

There are a few pics floating around on the net of a a similar card, a Sapphire Radeon 9800 graphics card...only it had two processors, and 512mb RAM. Prototype only, though. They used it to show off their "l33t" graphics card design and integration skills at some recent expo (Comdex, was it?).

It's somewhere in the September archives or www.rage3d.com , IIRC.

The Sapphire one didn't work. ATI swore off trying multiple-processor video cards after the debacle with the MAXX (and Sapphire is their primary manufacturer of cards). That one shown above probably is akin to Quantum3D's custom visualization cards.

As for huge cards, I've actually seen bigger. Full-length EISA cards and those 'computer-on-a-card' things for rackmounted systems.

Ohh man, those things are fucking HUGE! Theres a couple of full-length EISA cards here on campus in one of the labs on display. I'd take a picture of one, but security has been real anal lately and for some reason they don't like it when people bring cameras on campus. Why they don't like it is beyond me.....
