Does anyone know where I can get a fair-priced 6800 Ultra Thats SLI-ready so that if I want to "upgrade" I could get another one? Thanks ahead!

When overclocking a 6800GT to a 6800 ultra there is virtually no risk as 95% of GT cards will clock well past ultra speeds.Cyber$nake said:I dont want to take risks and voiding warrantys...but I Guess ur right. I found some on ebay, but w/ electronics that can b risky, and i found one 4 650$ at newegg. They should be cheaper somewhere...
WaryWolf said:good point, a good branded psu rated 500watt and above should do the trick. but one point: the pci-express bus can supply more power through the bus (75 watts i think) so it only requires one extra connector.

I'm sure you've read that Nvidia recommend using at least a 480watt psu with one Ultra, Although according to various resources on the 'net, A good 300 watt can suffice.
Also be aware that the Ultra uses 2x molex connectors, These molex connectors must come straight from the psu, I.e. you can't add a splitter and run a HD as well.
So with 2 ultra's your gonna need one hell of a good PSU with 4 separate molex connectors that are unshared.
I'd recommend something like the 660watt Enermax server standard PSU.
Maybe someone else running SLI ultra's can point you in the right direction for a good PSU though.
